The Skin Saint’s Guide to Under Eye Treatments

Microneedling for Eye Rejuvenation

Micro‑needling is a non‑surgical treatment that uses tiny stainless steel needles to stimulate your body’s own collagen‑producing capabilities to resurface and tighten your eyes. RF‑based micro‑needling, in particular, can reduce eye bags, as a surgical alternative. It’s also safe for all ethnicities, and there is really no downtime, which makes us love it even more!

Our Favorite Microneedling treatments for under eyes:

Is microneedling effective for under eye hollows?

Microneedling for under eye hollows helps tighten the skin and stimulate collagen but may not replace volume lost from fat. RF-based microneedling can improve firmness and texture. For more dramatic volume restoration, dermal fillers may be used in tandem with microneedling.

What is the best under eye collagen treatment?

PRP and microneedling are top under eye collagen treatments that improve firmness and reduce wrinkles. These stimulate the body’s own collagen regeneration. Morpheus8 and Secret RF are leading microneedling options at FACE Medspa, offering both tightening and brightening results.

Dermal Filler Treatments for Eye Rejuvenation

Filler is a great option for filling in the hollows of your eyes instantly! The skin under our eyes is thin and delicate and loses volume as we age, leading to a more sunken in, hollow look in the tear trough area. This creates shadows, making the areas under your eyes look much darker. Getting a few pokes of filler in this area can restore the lost volume in just minutes, leaving you with a brighter, more youthful look that can last a year!

Pro tip: Have the injector use a cannula to minimize bruising.

Thread Lift Treatments for Eye Rejuvenation

PDO Threads are so fun and versatile! They basically give you an instant facelift without surgery and no downtime! Threads can be used to pull back and tighten the skin around the eyes for a more sleek, defined, and youthful look. This year the fox eye look has been all the rage as it redefines the face and helps give your eyes an immediate lift. 

Threads can look a bit intimidating but know that this is a procedure that takes just minutes to do. The threads dissolve in a few months, and the resulted stimulated collagen keeps the skin tight for up to a year, so though this look is long-lasting, it’s not permanent. This can be a fun way to make natural‑looking adjustments to your face that make a big impact!

Plasma Treatments for Eye Rejuvenation

We’re huge on plasma treatments at FACE as they’re so advanced that they can do more than most lasers! Two of our absolute favorite treatments are Jett Plasma and NeoGen PSR, which both do wonders for tightening and brightening your eyes!

Jett Plasma Lift is great for skin tightening, collagen production, and wrinkle reduction and has almost instant results, lasting more than a year! This is the only direct‑current medical plasma device that uses real plasma and is able to pass through cell membranes. Plasma is so powerful, it’s the closest non‑surgical alternative to blepharoplasty. 

NeoGen PSR uses plasma to treat the WHOLE architecture of the skin, to dramatically help fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity, pigmentation, scarring, and more, all in one treatment, leading to near‑flawless eyes. Whereas Jett Plasma is more for targeted areas, NeoGen can be used globally. 

Plasma is produced inside the handpiece through the combination of nitrogen gas and ultra‑high radiofrequency. The plasma penetrates the superficial and deeper levels of the dermis to replace damaged collagen and encourage new collagen and elastin growth, resulting in smoother, brighter, and tighter eyes!

Can you tattoo the under eye area or get a facial eye enhancement?

Under eye face tattoos, sometimes used for dark circle camouflage, carry risks like pigment migration and scarring. While some opt for cosmetic tattooing, medical-grade treatments like lasers and plasma are safer for rejuvenation. The term “facial eye” is often used in aesthetic contexts for non-surgical contouring around the eyes.

In most cases, 12‑14 days are needed for social downtime post-Neogen, and only 5 days post-Jett Plasma. Only 1‑2 treatments are needed.
