Unlock the secret to eyes that radiate a timeless, youthful allure: A Comprehensive Guide to achieving More Youthful Looking & Revitalized Under-Eyes at BeautySmart Medical Spa
In the realm of beauty, our eyes often take center stage, reflecting our age, vitality and well-being. At BeautySmart Medical Spa, we are dedicated to the happiness of our clients and patients.
Using the most cutting-edge lasers in the industry, combined with our specially formulated and meticulously curated at-home skincare regimen, our goal is to deliver the best-of-the-best results to our clients and help them achieve more youthful-looking, rejuvenated, beautiful eyes.
1. The Best Laser Treatments for Under-Eye Concerns:
Our eMatrix Sublative RF treatment is a game-changer when it comes to addressing under-eye issues. This non-invasive procedure stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, improves texture, and promotes firmer skin (psst… its treats lots of other stuff, too, but for now we’re just talking about under-eyes 😊). The fractional energy emitted from the eMatrix differs from other laser treatments because it reaches deep into the skin, leaving the surface (superficial layers) safely intact. While there is some downtime after having an eMatrix treatment, its minimal.
IPL treatments target pigmentation and some vascularity concerns, such as dark circles and sun damage around the eyes. By breaking down melanin and promoting cell turnover, IPL can significantly improve the overall appearance of the under-eye area.
RF treatments tighten and firm the skin around the eyes by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps reduce skin sagging and looseness and improves it’s overall elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and lifted appearance.
Although many of our devices at BeautySmart Medical Spa utilize the power of RF energy, in the case of treating the eye area, we use the Exilis Ultra360 for skin tightening (psst… our ExilisUltra360 treats areas all over the body, too!). The Exilis Ultra360 is superior to other RF devices in that it simultaneously delivers TWO very popular energies: radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound. The combination ensures its highly rated patient satisfaction and comfort. Thanks to its built-in cooling, the Exilis Ultra 360 offers a comfortable and safe therapy, and enables the device to able to precisely target the desired area.
2. Choosing the Best At-Home Products, with the Right Ingredients, for Your Individual Concerns:
When you’re treated by us at BeautySmart Medical Spa, we understand you’re putting your utmost trust in us to deliver the best treatments and care to you and your skin. Preceding any aesthetic treatment, be it a laser treatment or basic facial, we take our time with our clients to really evaluate their skin, discuss their concerns and develop a good understanding of how they implement self-care at home. Depending on our client’s starting point and desired outcome, we’ll customize an at-home skincare regimen, tailored specifically for them.
Here are some of the things we recommend for ‘around the eye area’ care in their at-home skincare regimen:
- Choosing the right under-eye gel:
Because the skin around the eye area is more delicate than skin on other areas of the face and body, it should be addressed and cared for differently. We don’t recommend using just any regular moisturizer on this area as many moisturizers contain higher concentrations of actives and/or ingredients that may cause irritation to thinner, more delicate skin (and eyes).
When choosing an under-eye product, sometimes less is more. Finding a happy hydration level, that keeps the delicate under-eye area amply hydrated, but not overly-hydrated is important (Yes, You can over-hydrate your skin~ too much moisture softens the derma barrier which can cause cell degradation, irritation, and a range of other skin issues). The most helpful ingredients for around the eye area are ones that promote improved circulation, help reduce puffiness, and nourish the skin.
We do recommend using products formulated with antioxidants, botanicals, peptides, and circulation-improving ingredients.
Specifically, we recommend our clients use BeautySmart Skincare’s’ De-Puff the Rough Eye Gel (available at BeautySmart Medical Spa and online at beautysmartskincare.com)
Here are some of our favorite eye-treatment skincare ingredients:
- Aloe and Cucumber Extract: These natural elements hydrate the skin, reduce puffiness, and provide a refreshing sensation. Aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, aloe helps calm inflammation, reduce redness, and improve overall skin health. When applied to the under-eye area, aloe vera hydrates the skin, promoting a more supple and refreshed appearance. Cucumber extract, packed with antioxidants and moisture, helps to soothe tired eyes, de-puff under-eye bags, and alleviate dark circles. Its light texture makes it perfect for the sensitive skin around the eyes, providing a refreshing sensation that invigorates and revitalizes.
- Bisabolol and Chamomile: Products enriched with bisabolol and chamomile offer anti-inflammatory and calming effects, making them ideal for sensitive skin around the eyes. These ingredients soothe irritation and contribute to a calmed, more relaxed appearance.
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract: Known for its adaptogenic properties, ginseng helps combat fatigue, promoting a more revitalized and radiant look. Research has shown that ginseng delivers numerous antioxidant compounds and various flavonoids, along with B vitamins. Multiple clinical studies have shown that ginseng extract prevents and slows skin aging, improves the appearance of crepey skin texture and facial wrinkling, while inhibiting further wrinkle formation by working within the skin to reinforce its natural firmness. Ginseng increases circulation to and within the skin, improves the function of -and protects- the skin barrier. It helps to minimize the look of dark spots, improves the look of dullness and uneven skin tone. Ginseng is even recognized by the Korean FDA for its collagen-boosting and anti-aging properties.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): For optimal hydration, choose products with this powerhouse ingredient! HA attracts and retains moisture, helping to plump the skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines.
- Harnessing the Power of Vitamin C:
While we recommend using products specifically designed for the eye area to treat the eye area, some products can be used all over. One of these products is Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a key player in maintaining the health and brightness of skin, including both the upper eyelids and under-eye area. Its antioxidant properties protect against free-radicals and environmental damage, while its ability to inhibit the production of melanin helps with fading dark circles and pigmentation. It reduces puffiness, and helps the skin all around the eyes feel firmer.
Bias aside, our favorite Vitamin C serum on the market is BeautySmart Skincare’s Vital-C Serum (available at BeautySmart Medical Spa and online at beautysmartskincare.com).
And here’s why:
Unfortunately, as with so many products on the market, not all Vitamin C serums are created equal. Most Vitamin C serums on the market call themselves a “Vitamin C Serum” even though they have very low to even less-than-effective percentages of actual Vitamin C in their formulas. Even the kind of packaging counts when choosing a superior-quality Vitamin C serum -exposure to air, light, and heat cause Vitamin C to degrade- so dark glass bottles with a medicine dropper style delivery is optimal.
BeautySmart Skincare’s Vital-C Serum is beautifully packaged in an amber glass bottle with a medicine dropper, and it’s formulated with the right amount of Vitamin C to deliver superior effectiveness.
BeautySmart Skincare’s Vital-C Serum is a uniquely designed, exceptional golden Vitamin C serum that combines its potent Vitamin C with stem cells from ozonized Himalayan Red Rice extract, Green Tea extract, and willowherb, to penetrate the skin and deliver a megadose of potent antioxidants. For these reasons, we confidently recommend Vital-C Serum to our clients (available at BeautySmart Medical Spa and online at beautysmartskincare.com).
- We’ll let you in on a secret…
Layering Vital-C Serum with De-Puff the Rough is truly an at-home self-care skincare regimen game changer. For maximum effectiveness and the best-of-the-best results, with clean hands, apply Vital-C Serum by patting it into the skin and allow a few minutes for it to be absorbed. Put a pea-sized amount of De-Puff the Rough on the tips of your ring fingers and gently apply small dots of product under the eyes, along the orbital bone. Tap in (don’t rub) the De-Puff moving from the outer corner to inner and continue to tap until the product is absorbed. (psst… De-Puff the Rough does wonders for the perioral area around the mouth, too). Layering products in the correct order results in increased absorption (studies show by up to 80%), and deeper penetration, while sealing in their moisture and active ingredients. Meaning the benefits of both products are amplified and maximum results are attained… an at-home, skincare game changer.
