Eye Rejuvenation

Eye rejuvenation treatments are effective for people whose eyes have become tired looking through ageing – of which puffiness and dark circles can be symptoms. Lifestyle and medical factors can also contribute to the eyes developing these conditions and a full assessment can determine a suitable treatment, depending on the cause.

The eyes are a delicate and sensitive feature that requires extra care when considering a treatment. For this reason it is not uncommon for a little discomfort to be felt during the procedure. A skilled professional will deliver the treatment with precision and care, helping to minimise any sensitivity that can be felt.

The treatment may need to be reviewed if you have any cuts or sores near the eyes, recent scar tissue, eczema or dermatitis, skin tags, milia, or sunburn. Certain types of medication can also affect the efficacy of the treatment. Your healthcare professional will ensure this aspect is discussed with you fully before the procedure.

It is normal to expect the skin to have some redness and swelling, following the procedure. It may be advised that you avoid extreme heat or cold temperatures and sitting in the sun. You may need to refrain from using make-up and other products around the eye, as well as wearing contact lenses. If there is a chance of weeping or scabbing, it is important not to pick at the wounds.

The effects of the treatment and the expected amount of downtime, could depend on the procedure that has been chosen. Modern procedures have undergone significant developments in order to deliver a treatment that is as kind to the features as it can be. This would minimise any downtime, of which your healthcare professional can appropriately advise.
