Eye Treatments
The skin around the eye is the thinnest on the face and the first place tiredness, dehydration and age show. It also does not tolerate the strength of treatment the rest of the face will, so it gets its own approach: gentler depth, different actives, and a lot more care about what goes near the lash line. What we use depends entirely on what is actually causing the problem, which is not always what people assume.

01
Work out the cause
Shadow, pigment and vascular darkness look similar and respond to completely different things. This is the step that decides whether the treatment will work.
-
02
Cleanse and prep
The area is cleaned carefully and, where needed, numbed.
-
03
Treat
Actives are worked into the area at a depth the eye contour will tolerate, or applied and left to absorb.
-
04
Calm
Hydrating patches, then SPF. The eye area burns faster than anywhere else on the face.
Which one you need is decided after I look at your skin.

Eye Treatments, honestly
- Will this get rid of my dark circles?
- It depends what is causing them, and I will tell you honestly at the first appointment. Shadowing from the shape of your face will not shift with any treatment. Pigment and poor circulation often will. Anyone promising to fix dark circles without looking at yours first is guessing.
- Is it safe to treat that close to the eye?
- Yes, with the depth and the actives adjusted for it — which is exactly why this is a separate treatment rather than something tacked onto a facial.
- How many sessions will I need?
- Usually a short series of three or four spaced about four weeks apart, then occasional maintenance. Puffiness often improves quickly; texture and pigment take longer.
- Can I wear makeup afterwards?
- Leave the area bare for the rest of the day. If we have worked at depth, give it 24 hours before anything goes near it.

Regenerative actives driven deep into the skin by microneedling or electroporation — no injections — to rebuild where it has thinned.
High-Tech Treatments
