3 insights about treating aging under the eyes with powerful RF microneedling

Your eyes express so much. Even subtle changes in their appearance can have an outsized impact on the overall look of your face. If you feel that your eyes make you look perpetually tired, older, and less healthy than you actually are, RF microneedling may be just what the providers at Pua Manu MedSpa recommend. Our team is pleased to provide three insights into treating aging skin around the eyes. 

1 – RF microneedling treats aging at its “source.” 

Your skin is a sum of many parts. Plump, youthful, flexible skin is made up of components like collagen and elastin. As we lose these structural supports with age and due to the cumulative effects of sun damage, tissues may begin to slide southward. You may also notice changes in the distribution of facial fat. Fat loss also contributes to laxity and the development of hollow or sunken areas in spots formerly plump and well-defined. These changes can manifest as deep tear troughs, bags and puffiness, dark discoloration, and thin/transparent skin in the undereye region. Microneedling techniques and RF energy renew collagen and elastin to rebuild the skin, adding volume to tear troughs, and lifting and tightening lax areas.

2 – Treatment targets the eye area to stimulate healing in two ways.

RF microneedling is a combination treatment. After we have applied a topical numbing cream, a handheld applicator is passed over your areas of concern. This device is equipped with many ultra-fine and sterile needles. These needles gently create microscopic perforations in the skin. Your body will respond to these injuries by triggering a healing and rejuvenating process. More collagen and elastin are made as this process occurs. The radiofrequency part comes into play as we can elevate and maximize your results with this therapeutic energy. RF is introduced through the microchannels produced in the skin using the needling technique. As the energy is converted to heat, wonderful things happen deep within the skin. The deeper layers are safely heated to stimulate a biological response in the cells that make collagen, ultimately resulting in the contraction of existing collagen fibers and the production of new ones.

3 – Results get better with time as healing and regenerative processes occur. 

After a few days, the skin beneath your eyes may look firmer and feel more elastic. However, the real magic happens as the full effects of collagen remodeling are revealed, and with continued treatment. After an initial series of three to four monthly treatments, you can maintain your vibrant results with periodic maintenance treatments. Good, tailored skin care guidance from our team at Pua Manu MedSpa also helps, as time continues to march on even after we reset the clock with these powerful yet non-invasive therapies.
