Miss Jennifer Doyle and Mr Richard Scawn explore the available options to treat the delicate eye area.
Ageing around the periocular area plays an important role in facial ageing, with the eyelid skin being the thinnest anywhere in the body (around 0.3-0.5mm thick). Perceptions regarding a person’s degree of tiredness and age are predominantly based on periorbital aesthetics, making it a key area to address when wanting to achieve rejuvenation.
Traditionally, rejuvenation of this delicate area was synonymous with blepharoplasty surgery, however, the past decade has shown a growth in options of non-surgical technologies that can be used as alternatives or adjuvants to revitalise this difficult-to-treat area.
As a team of oculoplastic surgeons who offer a spectrum of surgical and non-surgical treatments to rejuvenate the periocular region, we will outline options available to treat the most common concerns.
