A variety of treatments for beautiful eyes

Dark circles/eye wrinkles/eye bags

In conversation, the first glance usually falls on our eyes. Whether they sparkle or perhaps look tired is immediately noticeable. Our eyes are not only the windows to the soul, but above all the direct connection to the world.

Various causes can underlie the formation of dark circles. Most often, hereditary volume loss is responsible for the unattractive shadows, but discolorations (brown pigment and red blood vessels) can also make the lower eyelid appear dark.

Treatments & Therapies

Fillers against dark circles

Dark circles are therefore a complex issue that can, and often must, be addressed successfully with different methods:
On the one hand there is volume loss – the correction of the ring formation can be achieved by an injection/Filling (filler) of the region with hyaluronic acid be significantly improved and the „missing shadow“ already produces a noticeable brightening effect.

PDO thread lifting

The Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting is an innovation for lower eyelids prone to swelling (under-eye bags), for smoothing fine lines such as lower eyelid wrinkles and also for early dark circles.

Laser and peeling

A further brightening of discoloration in the eye area can additionally be achieved with various laser treatments or peeling technologies achieved. These also lead to an overall tightening of the lower eyelid area.

Treatment regions

  • Eyes

Hyaluronic acid treatment procedure

How are dark circles, under-eye fine lines and under-eye bags treated with hyaluronic acid?

30 minutes before the treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the eye area.

We use a new, longer-lasting hyaluronic acid variant specifically developed for the eye area. Because the ampoule already contains a local anesthetic, the treatment is perceived as barely noticeable even in particularly sensitive facial areas. With ultra-fine needles, the hyaluronic acid is introduced into the relevant region.

Before and after the treatment there are a few points to observe.

PDO thread lifting treatment procedure

How are dark circles, under-eye fine lines and under-eye bags treated with PDO threads?

30 min. before the treatment a numbing cream is applied.

With ultra-thin cannulas the threads are gently introduced into the tissue, which is not felt due to the local anesthesia. By interweaving the PDO threads in a grid-like pattern, under-eye bags can be noticeably tightened. Fine lines are smoothed and early dark circles are gently corrected.

PDO stands for polydioxanone – a material that has been used worldwide for decades as surgical suture material. Today it is also used to tighten and smooth the skin by stimulating new collagen formation. Its decades of use prove the material's high tolerability.

Before treatment with PDO threads or hyaluronic acid

Please observe the following points 10 to 14 days BEFORE the treatment:

  • Please schedule dental appointments/treatments, as well as dental hygiene, so that the appointment takes place at least 14 days before the treatment performed by us.

  • If you need to take pain and/or anti-inflammatory medications, please contact us in good time so that we can discuss which medications may be taken.

  • Please do not take high-dose vitamin C and E supplements.

  • Please do not drink coffee shortly before the treatment, as this increases blood circulation and thus promotes bruising.

After treatment with PDO threads or hyaluronic acid

For 1 week AFTER the treatment the following should be avoided:

  • sporting activities

  • Massages in the treated area and back massages (face cutout on the massage table!)

  • Applying pressure to the treated area (e.g.: no diving goggles, no motorcycle helmet etc.)

  • You should not expose yourself to extreme heat/cold: no sauna, no steam bath, no direct sun exposure, no solarium, no prolonged stays outdoors at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius to avoid frostbite.

Peeling treatment procedure

Peels are very regenerative for the skin. They remove the upper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen production in deeper skin layers. Because of these properties they can reduce fine lines, even out pigment irregularities, refine pores, heal inflammations and improve skin impurities.

At least 4 weeks before the first peeling treatment, a pigment-stabilizing cream therapy should be started. Multiple treatments are generally advisable, with each treatment producing a visible improvement.

The skin begins to peel after approx. 2–3 days. This lasts about 3–5 days. It is especially important that after the peels you strictly avoid the sun and use sun protection products.

Peeling treatment against dark circles, under-eye fine lines and under-eye bags (trichloroacetic acid, fruit acid, salicylic acid or glycolic acid peels) procedure

  • The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased.

  • The peeling solution is applied evenly.

  • After a few minutes of exposure time, a soothing cream and a high sun protection are applied.

  • The skin may be red and peel in the following days.

  • High sun protection is absolutely necessary for several weeks after treatment.

FAQs

Dark circles and eye bags can arise from various factors, including genetic predisposition, skin aging, loss of volume, thin skin, pigmentation disorders, stress or lack of sleep. Water retention or poor circulation can also play a role.

Depending on the cause, different methods are used, for example:

  • Hyaluronic acid skin booster filler to replenish lost volume

  • laser or light treatments with pigmentation or vascular changes

  • Peels to brighten the eye area

  • PDO thread lift to tighten this area

The treatment is individually tailored to your needs.

In cases of volume loss, hyaluronic acid is specifically injected into the tear trough. This lifts the skin, reduces shadows, and the eye area appears fresher and more awake.

Mild to moderate eye bags can often non-surgical be improved, for example with fillers, skin tightening, or regenerative treatments. In pronounced cases, however, surgical intervention may be necessary.

After a detailed consultation, the appropriate method is chosen. The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes, depending on the procedure, 20 to 45 minutes.

Most treatments are well tolerated. With injections, a slight stinging may be felt. On request, a numbing cream be used.

That depends on the treatment:
