Skin Concerns
Under Eye Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes are common signs of skin ageing and tend to become more visible over time. The delicate skin in this area naturally becomes thinner and less elastic as we age.
Factors such as frequent sun exposure, smoking, repeated facial expressions, and genetics can contribute to the development of lines under the eyes. These changes are a normal part of the ageing process and vary from person to person.
Fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes are the physical signs of aged skin and are inevitable symptoms of the ageing process. Under eye wrinkles occur when the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and loses elasticity which can be accelerated by frequent sun exposure, smoking, repeated facial movements and certain genetic traits.
There are two types of under eye wrinkles called dynamic and static lines. Dynamic lines are wrinkles caused by muscle movement and static lines are the lines that are present when the muscles are not contracted
The primary cause of under eye wrinkles is depleted levels of collagen found in the dermis layer of skin which is lost throughout the years. Collagen is fundamental in supporting the facial structure and responsible for keeping the skin youthful, where a diminished quantity can cause the skin around the eyes to depress, creating lines and wrinkles that become more visible over time.
Symptoms
- Lines under the eyes that can be fine or deep creases
- Crinkling of the skin around the tear duct
- Sagging skin
- Crows Feet
- Sunken eyes
- Increased darkness and puffiness under the eyes
Anti-ageing injectables
Injectable treatments are quick and popular procedures that reduce wrinkles without the invasiveness of surgery. During an under-eye wrinkle treatment, you can expect your practitioner to administer a small amount of natural solution (such as hyaluronic acid) into the skin to improve the appearance of the eye area, promote firmness and deliver a more youthful structure.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers can help to restore volume, lift, redefine and lighten the under eye area. There are many types of dermal fillers which may be more effective in treating different skin concerns. This treatment has mostly plumping, volume restoring properties and can work effectively in treating any gaunt, darkened under eyes, refreshing the eye area and softening fine lines.
Dermal Needling
This treatment is also known as a collagen induction therapy which punctures fine, tiny holes in the skin to encourage skin cell renewal and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. When this response is activated, collagen and elastin (two proteins that are fundamental in warding off wrinkles) are produced to create an immediate brighter, younger look. This treatment is also effective in reducing scarring, evening any pigmentation and UV ray exposure. This would be a good option to treat multiple concerns in one treatment.
Plasma Pen
An alternative to eyelid surgery, Plasma Pen is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that can enhance the appearance of your skin. The plasma gas produced by the pen encourages the production of new cells and collagen to create rejuvenation, plump skin. Superficial wounds will be apparent on the skin, but will flake off in the days following the treatment to reveal gorgeous results.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles Around the Eyes
Fine lines and wrinkles beneath the eyes are a common sign of skin ageing. Over time, the delicate skin in this area naturally becomes thinner and less elastic.
Factors such as frequent sun exposure, smoking, repetitive facial movements, and genetics can all contribute to how and when these lines appear. These changes are a normal part of the ageing process and vary from person to person.
Under-Eye Wrinkles
There are two types of lines often seen around the eyes — dynamic lines, which appear with facial movement, and static lines, which remain visible even when the face is at rest.
Over time, the skin beneath the eyes naturally becomes thinner and less elastic. This change is associated with a gradual reduction in collagen and elastin within the dermal layer, which can make lines and creases appear more visible.
Factors such as sun exposure, facial movement, genetics, and lifestyle choices can all influence how these lines form and progress.
Common visible features may include:
• Fine or deeper creases beneath the eyes
• Slight crinkling near the tear duct area
• Mild sagging or changes in skin texture
• Lines extending outward from the corners of the eyes (“crow’s feet”)
• Shadows, puffiness, or loss of volume beneath the eyes
Cosmetic Injectable Consultations – Facial Rejuvenation
At The London Skin Clinic, we offer consultation-based cosmetic treatments that may assist in softening the appearance of forehead lines caused by repeated facial expression. These treatments are designed to support smoother skin and refreshed facial contours without the need for surgery.
Following a personalised, face-to-face consultation with a qualified health professional, a prescription-only medicine may be recommended if clinically appropriate. A small amount of product is carefully administered into specific areas to help reduce the appearance of dynamic lines and support a more balanced facial appearance.
Volume Restoration Treatment
Volume restoration treatments may be considered for clients seeking to address changes in facial structure, including loss of volume or the appearance of fine or deeper lines across the forehead.
At The London Skin Clinic, all injectable treatments are performed by qualified professionals using products that are approved for use in Australia. The substances used are based on hyaluronic acid, a compound naturally found in the body. When administered correctly, they integrate with the surrounding tissues to support a natural-looking result.
All treatments involving prescription medicines are only offered after a comprehensive consultation and are subject to individual suitability.
Dermal Needling
Dermal needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves creating fine, controlled micro-channels in the skin to support natural cell renewal and regeneration. This process encourages the skin to strengthen its structure through collagen and elastin production, which help maintain firmness and resilience.
The treatment is commonly used to improve the appearance of uneven texture, fine lines, and surface irregularities. Skin may appear smoother and more refreshed following a course of treatments. Your clinician will discuss the most suitable approach for your skin type and goals during your consultation.
Plasma Pen
Plasma Pen is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure designed to support skin tightening and overall appearance. The device delivers controlled plasma energy to the skin’s surface, which gently stimulates a natural regeneration process within the treated area.
Temporary, small surface marks may appear after treatment and generally flake off within several days as the skin renews.
Results and downtime can vary depending on individual skin type and treatment intensity. Your practitioner will discuss your goals, expected outcomes, and aftercare during your consultation to determine suitability.
