Conditions
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than many other areas of the face, making it particularly prone to fine lines and wrinkles.
These lines may initially appear when smiling, squinting or making other facial expressions, before becoming more noticeable even when the face is at rest. They can appear beneath the eyes, on the eyelids or around the outer corners of the eyes.
Ageing is a natural part of the process, but factors such as repeated facial movements, sun exposure and changes in collagen and skin elasticity can make eye wrinkles more noticeable over time.
Collagen and elastin production naturally decreases with age, causing the skin to gradually lose firmness and resilience.
Smiling, squinting and other repeated facial movements can contribute to expression lines around the eyes over time.
UV exposure can contribute to collagen breakdown and premature skin ageing, making fine lines more visible.
As the skin becomes less firm and elastic, lines that were once visible mainly during facial expressions may become more noticeable even when the face is at rest.
When the delicate skin around the eyes lacks moisture, fine lines can appear more pronounced.
Smoking, insufficient sleep and other lifestyle factors can contribute to premature skin ageing and affect overall skin quality.
At Alpha Asia Aesthetics, Dr Jeanel Goh will assess the eye area, including the type of wrinkles, skin quality and degree of laxity, before recommending an appropriate treatment approach.
Depending on the cause and type of wrinkles, treatment options may include:
Anti-Wrinkle Injections may be considered for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle movement, particularly around the outer corners of the eyes.
By temporarily reducing the activity of the muscles responsible for these repeated movements, Anti-Wrinkle Injections may help soften the appearance of expression lines.
The treatment is carefully administered around the eye area according to the individual’s facial anatomy and muscle movement.
RF Eye Treatment uses controlled radiofrequency energy to heat the skin around the eyes and support collagen remodelling.
It may be considered when fine lines and wrinkles are accompanied by mild skin laxity or reduced firmness.
As collagen remodelling takes place over time, the skin may gradually appear firmer and smoother.
An eye-specific skin booster such as Amino Acid Skin Booster may be considered for concerns including fine lines, dryness and reduced skin quality around the eyes.
The treatment is designed to support the condition and hydration of the delicate eye area, helping the skin appear smoother and more refreshed.
A 14% PDRN skin booster may be considered when fine lines are accompanied by thin, crepey or compromised-looking skin.
PDRN is used to support skin repair and improve overall skin quality, which may help the eye area appear smoother and healthier over time.
Chanel Skin Booster may be considered when the main concern is overall skin quality around the eyes, including fine lines, dryness and a tired-looking appearance.
By supporting skin hydration and quality, treatment may help the delicate eye area appear smoother and more refreshed.
Eye-specific injectable skin boosters such as PDLLA+HA may be considered for fine lines and concerns related to skin quality around the eyes.
By supporting collagen production and skin remodelling, treatment may help improve the appearance of fine lines and create a smoother-looking eye area over time.
Eye wrinkles can have different causes, such as facial expressions, reduced skin firmness or changes in skin quality, so there is no single treatment that suits everyone.
During your consultation, Dr Jeanel will assess your eye area and recommend a suitable treatment approach based on your facial anatomy, skin condition and concerns.
UV exposure can accelerate collagen breakdown and contribute to premature skin ageing. Use appropriate sun protection and sunglasses to help protect the delicate eye area.
Frequent rubbing can irritate the delicate skin around the eyes and may make the area appear more tired and irritated.
Maintaining adequate moisture can help the skin appear smoother and prevent dehydration from making fine lines look more pronounced.
Avoid pulling or repeatedly rubbing the skin when removing eye makeup, particularly around the eyelids and lash line.
Poor sleep can make existing fine lines and tiredness around the eyes more noticeable.
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes can be influenced by facial expressions, ageing, sun exposure, skin quality and changes in collagen and elasticity. Because these factors can vary from person to person, treatment should be tailored to the individual.
Book a consultation with Dr Jeanel Goh at Alpha Asia Aesthetics to have your eye concerns assessed and explore your treatment options.
Fine lines can develop naturally with age and repeated facial expressions. Sun exposure, reduced collagen production and changes in skin elasticity can also make them more noticeable.
Dynamic wrinkles are mainly caused by repeated muscle movements such as smiling or squinting. Fine lines can also be influenced by ageing, reduced skin quality, dehydration and changes in skin elasticity.
Yes. Depending on the type and cause of the wrinkles, non-surgical treatments may help soften expression lines or improve skin firmness, hydration and overall skin quality.
In some cases, different treatments may be combined because they address different contributing factors. Dr Jeanel will assess your eye area and advise whether a combination approach is appropriate.
The number of treatments varies depending on the treatment selected, your skin condition and the severity of your concerns. Dr Jeanel will recommend a treatment plan based on your individual assessment.
Downtime varies between treatments. Some may involve temporary redness, swelling, bruising or sensitivity, while others may have minimal downtime. You will be advised on what to expect before treatment.
