Understanding Ageing around the Eyes: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments at our Clinic
Signs of ageing around the eyes commonly occur as we start to lose collagen progressively. We offer a range of age-appropriate, tasteful treatments to lift & tighten the tissues around the eyes.
Causes:
The eye-area is a complex structure where a combination of factors contribute to signs of ageing. Overactivity of muscles, loss of elastin and collagen to the skin alongside volume loss of facial tissues together lead to the appearance of aged, tired & sad eyes.
Symptoms:
The ageing process manifests in five possible outcomes in the eye area:
- Eye bags or puffy eyes
- Hollow under-eyes
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Wrinkling & creasing around the eyes
- Hooded eyelids or heavy eyebrows

We take pride in our passion for providing natural, tasteful, age-appropriate and undetectable results throughout all of our treatment modalities. When it comes to the delicate & complex eye-area we focus on improving skin quality which does not result in an unnatural appearance.
As part of the natural ageing process, it is common to see skin laxity across the eye-area. As the skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the body, we see signs of ageing here relatively early in our 20s & 30s. Having said that, some cases such as hollowness & pigmentation can be see even earlier as these often are genetic. Our treatments can be utilised across all of these situations.
All of the above are common and sometimes overlapping causes of ageing around the eyes. There are certain marked differences that we will be able to ascertain & advise on during our consultation so that you can make the most informed decision in your own time.
Loss of collagen starts as early as our 20s however accelerates significantly around the menopausal period. Patients often therefore find that their skin’s elasticity rapidly declines around this time. We recommend starting skin tightening treatments as early as possible to account for this, this method is referred to as “collagen banking”.
Anti-wrinkle injections around the eye-area are most effective for crow’s feet lines (on the side of the eye) or for a subtle brow lift effect.
