Microneedling eye treatment is a non-surgical and minimally invasive skin rejuvenation therapy designed for the delicate skin around the eyes. The treatment is a targeted approach to addressing wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, poor blood circulation and hyperpigmentation.

What areas are targeted in the microneedling eye treatment?

As you age, it’s natural for collagen production and levels of protein, called elastin in your skin to start decreasing. This can result in visible dark circles under your eyes and fine lines. By precisely targeting these concerns, microneedling stimulates collagen production and enhances skin elasticity, leading to smoother, firmer skin texture.

During the under eyes dark circles treatment, a specialised device with fine-point needles creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. 

Collagen is essential for maintaining skin strength and elasticity, while elastin helps the skin regain its youthful and refreshed state. The tiny wounds also facilitate better absorption of topical treatments, such as vitamins and serums, applied during the procedure. 

How does the treatment work?

Preparation: The microneedling eye treatment begins with cleansing of the skin to remove any impurities and makeup residues. 

Exfoliation: After that, gentle exfoliation follows, removing dead skin cells and promoting smoother skin texture. This step also helps in better absorption of the products used later in the treatment.

Numbing Cream: Application of the numbing cream minimises any discomfort associated with the microneedling eye treatment process.

Microneedling: The microneedling device carefully glides over the periorbital area, creating controlled micro-channels in the skin. These microchannels stimulate collagen production and promote the microcirculation in the undereye area. 

Throughout the microneedling session, ampule vitamins for skin rejuvenation are infused into the skin. These vitamins provide essential nutrients that accelerate the post-treatment healing and cellular energy. Along with microneedling, we use tailored antioxidants and peel depending on your skin condition. 

Mask: At the end of the session, an alginate mask is applied to the treated area. This soothing mask helps to calm the skin, reduce any redness or irritation, and lock in moisture. The therapist closes the channels by using suitable healing products for less downtime and minimal sensitivity.  

Results you can expect after the Microneedling Eye Treatment: 

• Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The stimulation of collagen production helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving you with smoother-looking under eyes.
• Improved Skin Firmness and Elasticity: Collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Microneedling eye treatment promotes collagen production, resulting in a tighter and more youthful appearance.
• Smoother and More Even Skin Tone: The treatment helps address hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even and radiant skin tone around the eyes.
• Minimise Pores: Microneedling eye treatment can help minimise the appearance of enlarged pores.
• Reduced Under-Eye Puffiness and Dark Circles: By stimulating circulation and improving drainage, microneedling can help reduce puffiness and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
• Reduced Pigmentation: Microneedling eye treatment helps reduce pigmentation under the eye area. 
• Calming Acne: The treatment has a soothing and calming effect for acne.

The effects of microneedling become more apparent over time as collagen continues to rebuild and regenerate within the skin layers. Regular sessions can help maintain and prolong the results, supporting ongoing skin health.
