Well known in the industry for her superb, #nofilter collection of IG uploads, one of Kendall Jenner’s top beauty mantra to live by is “Never touch your face, never pick your face and wear eye cream”.Caring for the skin around your eyes is a delicate process as it is thinner and more sensitive compared to the rest of the face. It tends to be the first place to show signs of aging, therefore it’s never too early or too late to start using suitable eye-care products to slow down or reverse the effects of peri-orbital aging.

Lighten up those darned circles

Only Wednesday Addams can get away with dark circles and #iwokeuplikethis with legions of followers adoring her look.

Unless you are Wednesday Addams or Kungfu Panda Po, no one is going to look good with dark eye circles. Dark circles tend to add years to one’s actual age, making your eyes appear smaller, tired and sickly looking.Choosing the correct type of concealer and using it right will do wonders in camouflaging your dark circles to pull a fast one. Choose a lightweight creamy concealer that glides on smoothly without excessive rubbing, paying close attention to the areas where your eyes meet the bridge of your nose as these nooks and crannies tend to have the darkest circles and tend to require a tad more attention.

Our undereye are riddled with a web of tiny capillaries which can become leaky. As red blood cells from these capillaries seep into the surrounding skin, a dark discoloration is formed when the haemoglobin in them are being broken down.With this in mind, medical aesthetics treatments based on these scientific findings are giving dark eye circles a one way ticket to obscurity.

“The Eye Illuminator Program tackles dark eye circles for more youthful looking peepers by engaging the synergistic effects of Revitalift Eyes and Quattro Toning” Says Dr Chua Han Boon senior medical consultant with the SW1 Clinic (formerly from The Sloane Clinic). “Revitalift illuminates under eye area with natural hyaluronic acid while Quattro Toning utilizes laser waves to improve blood circulation and break down excessive dermal pigmentation while stimulating the deeper layers of the skin to repair the fragile collagen and elastin networks of your undereye.”

Hollows no more

Dermal fillers and autologous fat transfer are two of the most requested procedures to deal with hollowing of the undereyes

Sunken eyes also go by other names such as “tear trough hollows” or “under-eye hollows. Commonly a result of aging, most people will begin to notice sunken eyes by their late 30s and early 40s or when there’s dramatic weight loss over a short period of time. As we aged, we lose fat and bone density around our bodies including our faces. There is also a decline in the supporting structures that hold everything together, diminishing collagen stores with thinning of the overlying undereye skin, giving rise to undesirable undereye hollowing.

Dermal Facial Fillers made of naturally occuring hyaluronic acid can be safely used to correct undereye hollowing to improve upon its appearance. Due to the thin skin of this region, very soft fillers should be chosen to avoid lumps. More severe undereye hollows may require deeper filler placement if a “tenting” effect is desired, in which case, a choice of slightly harder fillers would be appropriate in these cases. Gratifying results are achievable in the correct hands, but it takes a fair amount of skill, patience and experience to treat this delicate area satisfactory, making the choice of physician of utmost importance.

Baby Face Restoration fat Grafting is a process whereby your own fat is harvested from your body, then purified to extract the young fat cells. The latter is then injected through a series of carefully placed facial microinjections to restore and replenish your face’s lost youth and vitality, including undereye hollowing. It is usually done under local anaesthesia, but patients may also choose to have light sedation. This is an extremely well-tolerated procedure, and one of the benefits of fat transfer is that latest innovation led to improvements of long term survival of grafted fat.Many patients find that the results last many years with some even reporting them as permanent.
