Eyes of the BEHOLDER

It’s no secret that the skin surrounding the eyes is the most delicate on the face and thus the quickest to show signs of ageing, stress and sun damage. Here we focus on just some of the targeted technologies and products that you can use on your clients

ENDYEyelift

Distributed by Radiant Healthcare, ENDYMED’s ENDYEyelift with 3DEEP RF technology is a non-surgical eyelift that offers superior results in reducing under-eye bags, smoothing and tightening skin, and lifting the upper eyelid for a more open eye. It combines radiofrequency and fractional radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production. Radiofrequency delivers energy to the skin to stimulate natural wound healing and collagen production for an instant lift, while microneedle dermal remodeling with fractional radiofrequency is used to resurface skin.

3DEEP technology ensures that dermal heating is volumetric, focused and homogeneous for a minimally invasive treatment without side-effects or downtime.

Endymed follows a combination protocol for periorbital rejuvenation using iFine (advanced RF technology) and FSR (fractional skin resurfacing) in the same session.

SIX Aesthetix Plasma Wave

The SIX Aesthetix Plasma Wave device is a device used for non-invasive treatments by creating a genuine plasma output. This plasma ARC permits precise ‘soft surgery’ when needed for smaller areas, and is therefore ideal for non-surgical blepharoplasty, as in eyelid correction.

There are several benefits associated with this technology. For instance, no cutting of the skin is required and therefore no stitches are required. This is a very low-risk procedure – there is no danger of blindness as there is with surgery. Minimal side-effects only and far less downtime are associated with this treatment. This is a quick and easy procedure that does not result in thinning of the skin.

E.Y.E. recovery

The pHformula E.Y.E. recovery is a 4-in-1 lifting, dark eye circle improving, puffiness reducing and anti-ageing eye treatment. It is a powerful but gentle formulation containing an innovative ingredient named Bakuchiol, a seed extract that has proven to work similarly to Retinol, contributing to decrease the signs of ageing and avoiding skin irritation.

Along with Bakuchiol, the formulation consists of a unique Peptide complex, Chrysinimide and Arginine, which assists to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as dark circles and puffiness. This product is also ideal for use under the brow bone for a lifting and tightening effect.

Bakuchiol is a phytochemical, a purified meroterpene phenol, obtained from Psoralea corylifolia seeds. Early in vitro studies have suggested that bakuchiol is a functional analogue of topical retinol, as both compounds have been shown to induce similar gene expression in the skin and lead to an improvement in skin photodamage.

A potent combination of 4 peptides namely, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 and Acetyl hexapeptide-30 form a powerful “ALL IN ONE” Peptide complex that works in synergy to help reduce wrinkles, expression lines, dark circles, and puffiness.

DermaFix

DermaFix CircleLight is a dark circle corrector that contains antioxidants and peptides, working against ageing and environmental damage around the eye area. Infra-orbital shadows (dark circles) are due to the accumulation of haemoglobin and its coloured degradation products (biliverdin, bilirubin and iron) in the dermis and epidermis.

This product contains 24% peptides, which help to prevent and fight bags under the eyes. It increases peripheral circulation around the eye area, reduces puffiness and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.

C-Quence Eye Gel

Environ Vita-Peptide C-Quence Eye Gel has been specifically designed for use on the sensitive, delicate eye area where deep lines and crow’s feet are visible. It contains three peptides, Argireline, Matrixyl and Dermaxyl, which have been scientifically proven to combat the appearance of wrinkles. Working together with vitamins A, C, and E, Environ C-Quence Eye Gel results in firmer, healthier and more radiant skin. It also includes Soybean and Rosemary extracts to complete the full arsenal of powerful antioxidants.

The brand’s Focus On Eye Treatment using Electro-Sonic Technology, is a 30-minute facial like no other. This non-invasive solution helps to give fragile skin around the eyes a boost of essential nutrients for an immediately noticeable, revitalised appearance.

Lift Sensation Eye Serum

From Monteil Paris, the Feel Satin Lift Sensation Eye Serum cools, refreshes and firms up the eye area. It reduces shadows under the eyes, as well as dark circles. It refines, smooths and plumps up the skin structure.

Specially developed for the sensitive eye area, the serum stimulates the metabolism deep down and promotes cell regeneration. This product provides the skin with nutrients and activates the formation of collagen and elastin. 

Lift Sensation Eye Serum provides intensive and long-lasting moisture, while visibly reducing the signs of skin ageing.
