Undereye bags, dark circles and wrinkles

Bags under the eyes:

We describe bags under the eyes as an increase in volume below the eye. This can occur in the short term, e.g. due to lymphatic swelling in the morning, or be genetically determined due to the anatomical structures located there.

Dark circles:

Dark circles are the dark discoloration of the skin under the eyes. This can be genetic; in some people, stronger pigmentation has been visible since childhood. However, it can also be caused by an iron deficiency, which should be checked by a blood test at the GP. During the normal ageing process, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner, which can lead to the underlying structures becoming more visible.

Creases:

Wrinkles describe a delicate fold under the eyes that can be congenital or acquired. Too little fluid can also lead to these wrinkles, as they can indicate a state of dehydration. People who work a lot at the computer, either professionally or privately, often develop wrinkles in the eye area more quickly, without the actual ageing process being responsible.

Each of these phenomena has different causes and should be treated accordingly. A combination of several treatments often achieves the optimum result.

If there is only a lack of volume in the inner eye area, the tear trough can be filled with solid hyaluronic acid. It is important to apply the right product, the right depth and the right amount. Unfortunately, I often see patients who come to me outside my practice after such a treatment because they are not satisfied with the result. Often there is persistent swelling or the incorrectly placed hyaluronic acid migrates under the skin and becomes visible.

I like to recommend treatment with biostimulants such as mesotherapy, PRP or polynucleotides under the eyes. These treatments are low-risk and promote collagen production, which can firm the skin, smooth wrinkles and lighten pigmentation. In short, the eyes look fresh and rested again.

Make an appointment for an individual consultation to find out which treatment can make your eyes shine again.
