Eye rejuvenation treatments are evolving beyond traditional methods like addressing crow's feet, undereye bags, dark circles, and thinning skin. The latest trend focuses on reshaping the eye area to enhance its natural beauty. Here are some of the most sought-after eye-reshaping treatments:
The Almond or Oval Eye (Upturned Eye)
The Fox Eye
The Cat Eye
Modern advancements in skin soft tissue fillers, such as Revanesse, Juvederm, and Restylane, allow these eye shapes to be achieved with instant, natural-looking results.
People with naturally almond or oval-shaped eyes, also known as doe eyes, have an upward lift at the outer corners. This lift makes the lower eyelid appear longer than the upper eyelid, giving the eyes a more open and inviting look.
Botulinum Injections: A small amount of Botulinum is injected into the lower lash line's centre at the orbicularis oculi muscle to widen the eye, creating an almond shape. Additionally, Botulinum can lift the outer brow by weakening the orbicularis muscle and allowing the frontalis muscle to elevate the brow for a subtle upturned look.
Dermal Fillers: To address lost volume beneath the eye, fillers like Revanesse, Juvederm and Restylane are injected along the bony orbit's edge. This fills in the lost volume, supporting the skin and refreshing the eye area for a less tired appearance.
Achieving the desired almond eye look may require 2-3 sessions. Once achieved, maintenance treatments are recommended once a year.
Fox eye lifts elevate the outer corners of the eyes, pulling them slightly outward and upward. This creates a more youthful and foxy appearance.
PDO Threading: This non-surgical procedure involves inserting PDO and/or anchor threads beneath the skin to lift and strengthen the outer eye area. It also helps minimize smile lines. The recovery period is short, with practically no downtime.
Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty: For those with excess upper eyelid skin (hooded eyes), Jett Plasma, Endybleph, and EndyEYE treatments tighten and shrink the hooded area, enhancing the fox-eye look.
Temporal Lift: Using dermal fillers or threads, a temporal lift raises the eyebrows, tightens the skin around the eyes and lifts the outer corners.
Depending on the initial condition and required treatment modalities, 3-5 treatments may be needed to achieve the fox-eye look.
Surgery or non-surgical eye lifts with threads can achieve the cat-eye look.
Surgical Canthoplasty: This delicate cosmetic procedure lengthens the eye-opening, creating a dramatic cat-eye look. A plastic surgeon would need to be consulted to perform this procedure, as all procedures at Skin Renewal are non-surgical.
Non-Surgical Thread Lift: Threads are inserted along the eye's side, starting at the outer edge of the eyebrow and angling upwards. The skin is pulled over the threads, elongating the eye without cutting or stitching.
Emphasising subtle enhancements that preserve individual features while achieving a youthful look. While not specific to eye rejuvenation, laser treatments, including the eye area, are popular for overall facial rejuvenation.
These non-surgical trends appeal to a growing number of patients, especially women in their 30s and 40s, looking to address early signs of ageing around the eyes without invasive surgery. The appeal lies in minimal downtime, instant results, and a refreshed, youthful appearance.
