Under-Eye Mesotherapy
What Is Under-Eye Mesotherapy?
The eye area is the most delicate and quickest-tiring region of our face. Due to sleeplessness, stress, genetic predisposition, or simply the effect of time, dark circles, fine lines, and a dull appearance can form in this area. Under-eye mesotherapy is a treatment method developed precisely for these problems, nourishing and revitalizing the skin from within. In fact, you can think of this procedure as a “vitamin supplement” specially prepared for your eye-area skin. Its aim is not to fill the hollows under the eyes but to improve the skin’s own quality, repair its texture, and help it gain a healthier structure.
With this treatment, the revitalizing substances the skin needs are delivered directly to the problematic area via very fine needles. This way, blood circulation in the area is accelerated, cell renewal is triggered, and the skin gains a brighter, firmer, and more rested appearance. This special cocktail contains many beneficial substances that revitalize your skin. Some of these are:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Vitamins (C and K)
- Amino acids
- Peptides
- Minerals
- Antioxidants
In short, under-eye mesotherapy is one of the most effective ways to erase a tired expression and achieve a fresher, more vibrant gaze. Since the goal is to repair the skin from the foundation up, the results are both natural and long-lasting.
How Is Under-Eye Mesotherapy Performed?
The under-eye mesotherapy treatment is a very comfortable and practical procedure performed at the clinic. The process begins with a doctor’s consultation to understand your expectations and the needs of your eye area. At this stage, the structure of your skin is examined and the most suitable treatment plan is created for you. The treatment itself consists of very simple steps and takes about 30–40 minutes from start to finish. The discomfort felt during the procedure is minimal.
The treatment is carried out carefully with the patient’s comfort as the priority. The procedure generally includes the following steps:
- Physician evaluation and planning
- Cleaning the eye area with an antiseptic solution
- Applying anesthetic cream to prevent any pain sensation
- Waiting 20 minutes for the cream to take effect
- Injecting the prepared cocktail under the skin
- Post-procedure briefing
Since very fine-tipped needles are used, the injection stage is usually completed in a short time of about 10–15 minutes. It should be remembered that, to achieve the best results, mesotherapy is usually not a single-session solution. A course of 3 to 6 sessions, planned 7–14 days apart depending on the skin’s condition, is ideal for lasting and satisfying results.
What Is the Recovery Process After Under-Eye Mesotherapy Like?
The process after under-eye mesotherapy is quite comfortable and does not affect your social life. You can return to your daily activities as soon as the procedure is over. Right after the treatment, it is normal to see slight redness in the treated area or tiny bumps at the needle entry points. This usually resolves on its own within a few hours. In people with delicate skin, small bruises may rarely form, but these too disappear completely within a few days.
There are a few simple rules to follow after the procedure to increase the success of the treatment and speed up the healing process:
- Not wearing makeup on the area for the first 24 hours
- Avoiding hot showers, saunas, and Turkish baths for a few days
- Staying away from strenuous, sweat-inducing exercise on the same day
- Using sunscreen to protect against the harmful effects of the sun
- Not rubbing or scratching the treatment area
You begin to see the effects of the treatment from the first session. A brightening and revitalization is felt in your skin. However, the main results — that is, the firming of the skin with increased collagen production, the reduction of fine lines, and the lightening of the dark circles — become more pronounced as the sessions are completed. The bright and rested appearance achieved when the course ends lasts an average of 9–12 months, depending on your skin structure and lifestyle. To extend this period, reminder sessions can be performed at intervals recommended by your doctor.
