The upper cheek and lower eyelid area is a sensitive subject for many people who are locked in a constant battle with hollow tear troughs and dark circles.
As we grow older, the tell-tale fine lines of age begin to appear under our eyes, as well as in other areas of the face, as a result of a drop in collagen production in our skin cells.
For those with a naturally expressive face, these wrinkles often emerge at an earlier stage and whilst they are nothing to worry about, it is understandable that you want to look as young and invigorated as you feel.
No-one wants to look tired or sad on a regular basis and if you are constantly dealing with puffy eyes and dark circles it can be incredibly frustrating. Fear not, we are here to help.
At Luxe Skin Glasgow, our expert team of cosmetic professional help clients with their under eye wrinkles on a regular basis and have a wide range of treatment options at their disposal that can be effective in eliminating or reducing their appearance.
We also have many years of experience in our ranks that we will use to provide advice on the ways that you can tackle your fine lines at home.
Here are a list of 10 of the most effective ways to deal with under eye wrinkles, leaving you looking bright eyed and bushy tailed all day long.
1) Tear trough fillers
Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers placed in the tear trough area via needle and blunt cannula will add volume, smooth skin, and eliminate the look of hollow eyes.
Hollow eye sockets appearing as a result of a lack of volume are responsible for the dark shadows we associate with tiredness and stress and can occur no matter how well rested we may be.
This filler will resolve these issues, and as hyaluronic acid naturally exists in the human body, inserting more has very few possible side effects.
2) Moisturiser
Certain eye creams can be effective in treating minor wrinkling under the eye. Not every cream will work, however, so look for formulas who have wrinkle battling ingredients including hyaluronic acid, vitamins E and C, etc. For a full list of the desirable ingredients in an under eye wrinkle remover get in touch today.
3) Microneedling
A professional microneedling treatment using a pen or roller will allow nutrients to enter the skin, and trigger the body’s natural healing process in response to the controlled trauma of thousands of tiny needle punctures.
4) Hydrate
Failing to hydrate your body properly can result in a range of different health problems but can also impact upon your appearance, including leading to hollow looking eyes. Drinking plenty of water can help in this regard alongside the application of oil and creams that are rich in moisture and work to lock in existing moisture in the skin.
5) Face massage
A facial massage can help to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation and enhance skin care product penetration. Following the completion of such a treatment you may well find that your anti-wrinkle creams have more of an effect, not to mention that the procedure itself can be incredibly relaxing and therapeutic.
6) Apply sun screen
Pretty good general health advice as much as an anti-wrinkle treatment. SPF is more of a preventative measure than a healing method but applying it regularly, each morning if possible, will not only help to prevent wrinkles but also discolouration and sun spots from forming.
7) Wear sunglasses
Sunglasses will not only shield your eyes and the undereye area from direct contact with harmful UV rays but will also prevent you from needing to squint on bright days. Squinting is one of the biggest culprits for the formation of dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet and under eye wrinkles that over the years will develop into static wrinkles that do not disappear once your face relaxes.
8) Eat healthily
Drinking water is perhaps the most important dietary advice for healthy skin but there are plenty of different foods that can help as well. Vegetables, fruit, nuts, fish and more are all foods packed with healthy oils and antioxidants that can help build skin durability and boost your natural collagen production.
9) Avoid smoking
Smoking can cause your face to age prematurely, destroying healthy cells and doing all sorts of damage to your body, both inside and out.
10) Call a professional
If there is one thing that we see on a daily basis at our luxe skin Glasgow skin clinic it is that every person is different in terms of their cosmetic needs. What works perfectly for one individual’s skin type could be useless, or even damaging, for another and only by consulting with a highly trained expert skin care professional will you be able to identify the perfect treatment option to deal with your under eye wrinkles.
