all about
wrinkles under
the eyes

what are wrinkles under the eyes?

Under-eye lines are caused by a mix of facial expressions (squinting, smiling), collagen loss, sun exposure and dehydration. As your skin ages, these dynamic lines become static wrinkles that stay visible even when your face is at rest.

causes and triggers

• thin, delicate tissue with fewer oil glands
• frequent squinting (sun, screens)
• sunlight and blue light
• smoking, alcohol and too little sleep
• loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid with age
• dehydration and not enough skincare

symptoms

• fine dryness lines when you smile
• permanent fine wrinkles under the eyes at rest
• thinning skin: more visible blood vessels and dark circles
• make-up settling into fine lines

who is the treatment suitable for?

Anyone with early fine lines or deeper wrinkles under the eyes. From people in their 30s noticing the first dryness lines to those over 50 with static wrinkles.

how often is treatment needed?

The effect of botox wears off gradually, so a top-up is usually needed after 3 to 4 months. With regular treatments, the muscles contract less readily, which means your wrinkles stay away for longer.

treatment methods at uma clinic

polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are purified molecules derived from fish DNA with a powerful regenerating effect. They stimulate cell renewal, activate fibroblasts and boost the production of collagen and elastin. Thanks to their biocompatible structure, they’re well tolerated and especially effective for thin, ageing skin around the eyes.

prf

PRF is a treatment that uses only your body’s own material. We isolate growth factors and white blood cells from your own blood and inject them into the skin around your eyes, where they stimulate your natural repair process from within. PRF thickens the skin, softens fine lines and gives the eye area a fresh, healthy glow. No synthetic additives.

botox

Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet. By using very small amounts, we soften fine lines without taking away your expressions. Your skin looks smoother and calmer, while you still look completely like you.

microneedling or laser

Both treatments activate your skin’s natural repair process. Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny microchannels in the skin, while laser uses controlled heat. Either way, new collagen production is stimulated, helping the skin under your eyes look firmer and smoother.

skincare

A good daily skincare routine supports your treatments and helps the results last longer. Ingredients like retinol stimulate cell renewal and reduce fine lines, while peptides support collagen production. And a mineral SPF 50 protects against sun damage, the biggest cause of skin ageing.

results you can expect

• polynucleotides and PRF: a gradually smoother eye contour after 4 to 6 weeks.
• Botox: softer lines within 7 days.
• skin boosters: instant hydration, with the best effect after 2 weeks.

before and aftercare

• avoid intense exercise, saunas and massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours.
• avoid applying make-up to the treated area.
• use an eye cream with antioxidants and SPF every day for longer-lasting results.
