Periorbital Ageing & Dark Circles
What Is Periorbital Ageing & Dark Circles
Periorbital Ageing & Dark Circles
The periorbital region is often the first area of the face to exhibit signs of ageing due to the skin being significantly thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face. Periorbital ageing and dark circles are frequently the result of a combination of vascular congestion, dermal thinning, and the gradual loss of the underlying fat pads that support the lower eyelid. At Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, we recognise that tired-looking eyes can impact how you feel and interact with the world. Our clinical focus is on bio-restoration and deep hydration to strengthen this fragile tissue and restore a bright, rested appearance for all Eden Skin & Laser Clinic patients.
How Periorbital Ageing & Dark Circles Manifest
Tear Trough Depression: A hollowed appearance or "groove" running from the inner corner of the eye towards the cheek, caused by a loss of orbital fat and bone resorption.
Infraorbital Vascularity: A bluish or purple tint under the eyes, resulting from thin skin making the underlying blood vessels more visible.
Periorbital Hyperpigmentation: Brownish discolouration around the eye area, often caused by chronic sun exposure or genetic melanin distribution.
Fine Line Etching: Tiny, "cross-hatched" wrinkles, often referred to as "smile lines," which develop as the skin loses its ability to retain moisture and elasticity.
Skin Laxity & Crepiness: A loss of firmness in the upper or lower eyelids, leading to a textured, paper-like appearance and sagging.
The Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, Clinical Consultation & Safety Protocol
At Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, a 30-minute clinical consultation is vital for a diagnostic assessment of the periorbital anatomy. Because the eye area is highly vascularised and sensitive, we conduct a meticulous medical history review and a skin-snap test to evaluate your current elasticity levels. This protocol ensures that we select the correct viscosity of injectable or regenerative treatments, prioritising safety and ocular health while ensuring a seamless, natural-looking result.
Treatment Options
Eden Skin & Laser Clinic selects the most appropriate modalities from our clinical suite to specifically target the unique structural needs of the delicate eye area.
PhilArt Eye Treatment: Gold-standard treatment; this specialised polynucleotide injectable works at a cellular level to repair damaged tissue and stimulate the production of high-quality collagen and elastin specifically for the thin periorbital skin.
Skin Boosters: Gold-standard treatment; these high-concentration hyaluronic acid formulas provide deep, targeted hydration to "plump" the dermis from within, smoothing fine lines and reducing the transparency that leads to dark circles.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): Secondary treatment; by using your body’s own growth factors, PRP improves the micro-circulation around the eyes and thickens the dermal layer to naturally mask visible blood vessels.
Dermalux TRI-WAVE MD: Supportive maintenance: Near-infrared light is used to settle inflammation and boost cellular energy, aiding the recovery and effectiveness of injectable treatments in the eye area.
Hydrafacial: Supportive maintenance; featuring a specialised "Perk Eye" treatment, this provides gentle exfoliation and antioxidant infusion to brighten the area and reduce puffiness.
