Treatment of drooping eyelids, wrinkles, dark circles and hollow eyes in Beaulieu sur Mer

look

The delicate area around the eyes is not only one of the most expressive parts of our face, but also one of the most sensitive. The thin layer of skin, subject to the muscular stresses of the orbicularis muscle, makes this area particularly prone to ageing.

As an aesthetic doctor in Beaulieu sur Mer, I understand the importance of this area of the face, which is often indicative of age and fatigue.

Several factors contribute to the ageing of the eye area:

Periorbital wrinkles (Crow’s feet)

The appearance of periorbital lines and wrinkles, commonly known as “crow’s feet”, is the result of repeated muscle contractions around the eyes. These expressive marks are often the first visible signs of the passage of time.

Reduced skin density

The reduction in skin density in this area reveals microcirculation, which can lead to purplish dark circles. Loss of firmness accentuates the appearance of these undesirable marks.

Loss of volume

The loss of volume around the eyes, particularly in the temporal region and cheekbone, can give the impression of a reduced palpebral slit. Restoring these volumes is essential to rejuvenate the eyes.

Drooping of the upper eyelid and the tail of the eyebrow

The drooping of the upper eyelid and the tail of the eyebrow can alter the symmetry of the face, impacting on the overall perception of youth and vitality.

Hereditary pigmentation disorders

Some patients, particularly those from the Mediterranean region, may be predisposed to hereditary pigmentation disorders. This often manifests itself as permanent brown circles, even in young patients.

Faced with these challenges, treating the eyes requires a holistic approach. As a professional in aesthetic medicine in Beaulieu sur Mer, I offer a combination of targeted treatments, personalised according to the causal factors identified during the clinical examination.

Anti-wrinkle injections are effective in reducing periorbital expression lines, providing a visible tightening of the skin around the eyes. Botulinum toxin works by relaxing the periorbital muscle, whose repeated contractions cause crow’s feet wrinkles by fracturing the dermis thousands of times a day.

Innovative procedures to stimulate collagen production and improve skin density can reduce the appearance of dark circles and restore firmness, including HIFU treatment which offers superb results in this very delicate area.

The use of dermal fillers, using hyaluronic acids whose density and cohesivity are precisely adapted to the delicate area of the dark circles, can restore lost volumes, creating a natural, rejuvenated appearance.

Medical blepharoplasty is an alternative technique to surgery for correcting drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes. Two main technologies are used: the ablative fractional CO2 laser and plasma.

The ablative fractional CO2 laser uses a precise beam of light to vaporise the superficial layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and dermal retraction. This technique offers a high degree of precision and effectiveness, but is accompanied by a longer recovery time (around 7 to 10 days) with significant oedema for the first two days and then the appearance of scabs, which must be respected.

Plasma uses an ionised gas to create tiny coagulation points on the skin, causing progressive skin retraction. This technique is less invasive than the CO2 laser and the recovery time is shorter (around 3 to 5 days). However, it may require several sessions to achieve optimum results, and is not always sufficient for very wrinkled skin.

The choice between the two technologies depends on a number of factors: the extent of skin sagging, skin type and the patient’s expectations. Both treatments are performed under topical anaesthetic using an anaesthetic cream, and are completely comfortable. In addition, safety is fully guaranteed by the use of lead eye shields during the treatment.
