There are days, or even whole periods, when the eyes are not only the mirror of the soul. They also reflect fatigue, stress and the passing of time. The periocular area, the skin around the eyes, including the upper and lower eyelids and the surrounding tissue, is one of the first to show signs of tiredness.
We can see dullness, fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness that reduce the radiance of the face. But why does this happen? And most importantly, what real and effective solutions can we offer to restore vitality to the eyes?
Why do we notice tiredness in the eyes?
The skin around the eyes has unique characteristics that make it especially vulnerable. It is much thinner than the rest of the face, and its structure lacks almost entirely fatty tissue and a lymphatic system as efficient as in other areas. This means that any imbalance, whether it is lack of sleep, fluid retention, or loss of collagen, is immediately reflected in the form of dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles, or loss of radiance.
Furthermore, this area is in constant motion. We blink around 10,000 times a day, and the periorbital muscles are continuously active with every gesture, smile, or wink. This overuse contributes to the premature breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers, promoting the appearance of fine lines and sagging.
The result is that the eyes convey a tired appearance, even when we feel well. That is why addressing this area with specific solutions and a comprehensive approach is key.
Aesthetic treatments for a rejuvenated look
Today it is possible to achieve visible results without surgery, thanks to the combination of advanced devices and cutting-edge active ingredients.
- One of the most valued techniques is transdermal electroporation. This procedure creates temporary microchannels in the cell membrane, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeply without the need for needles. It is ideal for delivering ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which hydrates and plumps the skin; vitamin C, which adds radiance; or tranexamic acid, which reduces the pigmentation of dark circles. Devices like Sisneo’s Mesolux combine electroporation with LED light, further enhancing the results thanks to the biological stimulus provided by the different light spectra.
- Bipolar radiofrequency, for its part, works by generating controlled heat in the deeper layers of the dermis. This stimulates collagen production and improves local microcirculation. The result is firmer skin, with fewer fine lines and a more even tone. Revicell Pro technology, which combines radiofrequency with gentle vacuum, allows the ocular area to be treated safely and effectively, while simultaneously activating natural drainage to combat puffiness and fluid retention.
- LED phototherapy completes the technological approach. Red light, for example, enhances regeneration and collagen synthesis, while amber light improves tone and adds radiance to dull skin. Integrating these treatments into a combined protocol allows visible results from the very first sessions.
Active ingredients to enhance the eyes
The success of any eye treatment depends not only on the technology used but also on the active ingredients applied to the skin. These actives should be chosen according to the specific needs of each individual.
Hyaluronic acid, for example, is a benchmark moisturizer. Its ability to retain water improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, protecting against free radical damage and instantly adding radiance. Tranexamic acid and niacinamide are key for evening out skin tone and reducing pigment-related dark circles. Additionally, biomimetic peptides stimulate cellular regeneration, while actives like caffeine, horse chestnut, and butcher’s broom help to drain and decongest puffiness.
Sisneo Eye Care takes this philosophy further, combining cutting-edge active ingredients that address the eye contour from every angle:
- With Eyeliss®, which combines hesperidin methyl chalcone, dipeptide-2, and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, it works by reducing capillary permeability, promoting lymphatic drainage, and strengthening skin elasticity. The result is a lighter, decongested look with fewer signs of fatigue.
- And with Sepitonic® M3, a mineral complex of copper, zinc, and magnesium that works within the cell, it provides energy, enhances cellular respiration, and protects against oxidation and glycation processes responsible for premature aging. Its action results in firmer, more even, and more vital-looking skin.
One of the advantages of electroporation is that it allows these ingredients to be delivered deeply and effectively, maximizing their impact.
Habits and tips to prolong results
A high-quality aesthetic treatment should be complemented by good daily habits. Sleeping at least seven hours, maintaining proper hydration, and protecting the skin with a suitable sunscreen specifically for the eye area are simple gestures that make a difference. Additionally, gently removing eye makeup and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol will help the skin retain its freshness and radiance.
Occasionally applying local cold (for example, using a gel eye mask) can be a great ally in reducing congestion and giving the eyes a more rested appearance.
A rested and radiant look is not just a matter of genetics or luck. When we see the results, we realize it comes from proper professional care, the choice of cutting-edge technologies and active ingredients, and the adoption of healthy habits. Aesthetic centers that integrate advanced solutions such as electroporation, radiofrequency, or phototherapy can offer their clients visible, safe, and long-lasting results.
