What problems are most common on the delicate skin around the eyes? What active ingredients will work most effectively on this area of the face? Which cosmetic treatment to choose for wrinkles around the eyes? Can a laser treatment be used on the skin around the eyes?

 

 

Problems of the skin around the eyes

The skin around the eyes is very thin – only half a millimetre thick. In other areas of the face it is four times thicker. In the periorbital area, there are almost no fatty acids, few sebaceous and sweat glands and support fibres such as collagen and elastin. In contrast, the circular muscle of the eye works continuously, contracting at least 10,000 times a day. This is why wrinkles around the eyes are among the first to appear on the face. The first wrinkles start to appear around the eyes as early as the age of 25. The process accelerates after the age of 40. As the years go by, the wrinkles become deeper and longer and therefore more visible. The number and type of wrinkles are mainly influenced by genetic factors. However, proper skin care in the beauty salon and at home is also of great importance.

 

LLT Eye-Pro Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Dark laser treatment

This laser treatment for reducing wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes has a multi-dimensional effect. It reduces bruising and dark circles under the eyes, and thus reduces ‘bags’ and puffiness. At the same time, it regenerates and moisturises the skin and smoothes “crow’s feet” wrinkles around the eyes. Strengthens the support fibres and the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). Stimulates blood circulation and improves lymphatic drainage, improves skin contour and condition. This eye treatment is designed for delicate skin in need of rejuvenation, hydration and smoothing. Also for skin with visible bruising, puffiness, a feeling of fatigue, with wrinkles and furrows.

 

Most important active ingredients of the eye treatment

✓ Syn-Eye Complex contains pro-collagen tripeptide Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, moisturising ultra-low-molecular hyaluronic acid HA (350-550 kD), anti-irritant Panthenol and microalgae extract Dunaliella Salina with energising and protective effects at the mitochondrial level. The result is smoother skin, with reduced wrinkles and a more youthful appearance. Effect proven in in vitro and clinical tests.

✓ Perfect-Eye – white flower essence for multifunctional eye area care. The complex combines two white-flowered plants – hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac), which together produce a multifunctional effect on the eye area. The complex restores lost firmness to the upper eyelid, gives a lifting effect and reduces dark circles under the eyes for a total rejuvenating result.

✓ Matrixyl 3-Peptide – a powerful anti-wrinkle low-molecular peptide stimulates the synthesis of key components of the dermal matrix and dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), including collagen I, III, IV and hyaluronic acid. It improves skin hydration, density, firmness and elasticity, skin tone and facial oval. Effectiveness confirmed in an in vivo panel study on a group of women aged 42-70 years.

LLT laser application

An important part of the treatment is the improvement of microcirculation in the skin around the eyes and lymphatic drainage. The capillaries in this area dilate easily and, as a result, swelling around the eyes becomes a visible and bothersome problem. This is especially true when the swelling occurs not only after a sleepless night, after crying or during allergies. In addition, due to the swelling around the eyes, the active treatment ingredients will not work as effectively as we would like, as the ‘extra water’ prevents them from penetrating deep into the skin. In contrast, the treatment’s LLLT laser therapy will provide an anti-inflammatory effect, promote microcirculation and act as a gentle drainage under the eyes.

Bio-stimulating therapy

Black Essential’s PDT formulations show the highest efficacy when PDT is applied with the LLLT laser with magnetic field. The laser light acts directly on the energy centres of the cells. It stimulates their metabolism and stimulates them to work intensively. The effect of the treatment is significantly prolonged over time. The magnetic field increases the stimulation effect in the tissues. The synergistic use of laser light and photosensitive preparations, such as PDT Black Essential, guarantees an immediate treatment effect. The active ingredients contained in the PDT Black Essential concentrates act immediately after their application and simultaneously optimise the effect of the laser. This leads to enhanced tissue processes, increased collagen production and skin remodelling.
