The gaze is often considered the reflection of the soul. It communicates emotions, creates connections and plays a crucial role in our overall appearance. Over time, the skin around the eyes can show signs of premature aging, such as wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles.
It is so true that any unaesthetic feature in the orbital region can give a sad, tired, and aged look.
The techniques of aesthetic-oriented medicine offer many solutions to revitalize and rejuvenate this delicate area. It is possible to effectively treat the signs of aging around the eyes and restore radiance and freshness to your gaze.
The gaze is one of the most expressive areas of the face. It reflects not only our emotions, but also our age, vitality and state of health. Over time, repeated expressions, weight variations, loss of skin tone and the natural aging of tissues weaken this delicate region. The first signs of aging often appear around the eyes : dark circles, hollow eyes, wrinkled eyelids, a pronounced tear trough or a drooping eyebrow.
The orbital area is made up of extremely thin tissues, sensitive to volumetric variations, dehydration and loss of firmness. With age, the skin gradually loses collagen, elastin and natural hyaluronic acid. The eyelids appear tired, volumes shift, contours become less defined. Repeated expressions lead to the formation of folds, while peri-orbital fatty pockets may shift or diminish. The gaze, once bright and open, can then seem tired, sad or stern despite a good general state of health. This natural process can also be accelerated by external factors such as stress, lack of sleep, smoking, UV exposure or hormonal variations.
During a preliminary consultation the doctor identifies the issues to be treated in order to offer you a personalized solution.
The most common unaesthetic features are :
There are several treatments in aesthetic-oriented medicine to improve the gaze.
Several signs can alter the gaze and give an impression of fatigue or premature aging. Each issue has its clinical characteristics and requires a personalized treatment.
Dark circles are distinguished by a dark coloration under the eyes, they can be pigmented, vascular or linked to a loss of volume.
Hollow eyes result from fat and bone resorption at the level of the upper eyelid.
The tear trough corresponds to a hollow located between the lower eyelid and the cheek, this unaesthetic feature gives the face a tired and severe appearance.
Wrinkled eyelids are the sign of skin laxity, characterized by fine lines and a loss of skin density.
The treatment of the gaze is not limited to correcting an isolated flaw. It requires a global analysis, taking into account the bone structure, the volumes, the quality of the skin, but also the emotional aspect of the gaze. During the consultation, a precise evaluation makes it possible to define the main issue, any secondary signs that may be associated, as well as the patient’s expectations. The techniques of aesthetic-oriented medicine allow for a progressive intervention, respecting the natural balance of the face. The goal is not to transform, but to restore, enhance and harmonize.
Pigmented dark circles are generally of genetic or ethnic origin, while vascular dark circles are characterized by a bluish coloration linked to the thinness of the skin : through transparency the fine subcutaneous vessels are visible. Hollow dark circles result from a lack of volume (genetic or linked to aging) with an accentuation of the natural shadow located under the eye. The treatment is mainly based on the injection of a specific hyaluronic acid, adapted to this sensitive area, in order to discreetly fill the hollow and reduce the shadow. The cross-linking, density and elasticity of the gel are determining factors for a natural and long-lasting result. Complementary treatments can improve the quality of the skin and reduce the residual coloration.
The hollow eye results from a loss of volume in the periorbital region, often linked to the sagging of fatty tissues or the resorption of the sub-orbital supporting structures. This lack of support gives the gaze a tired, hardened or prematurely aged appearance, even in young patients. The treatment consists in subtly restoring the volumes through injections of hyaluronic acid specifically formulated for this delicate area. The objective is to reconstruct the natural curve of the eyelid and restore brightness to the gaze, while preserving its expression. This correction is performed progressively, respecting the dynamics of the face and the natural mobility of the tissues, for a harmonious and imperceptible result.
The tear trough corresponds to a hollow located between the lower eyelid and the cheek, resulting from a loss of infra-orbital volume associated with a progressive sagging of the cheek tissues. This depression creates a break in the continuity of the facial volumes and accentuates the shadow under the eye, giving an impression of persistent fatigue. The treatment is based on targeted injections of hyaluronic acid specifically designed for this area, in order to gently fill the hollow, support the sagging structures and restore the natural contour of the midface. This correction does not only reduce the tear trough : it brightens the gaze, softens the features and contributes to rejuvenating the entire face by reestablishing a natural transition between the eyelid and the cheek.
The eyebrow plays an active role in facial expression. With age, it loses its natural support and descends slightly, sometimes giving an impression of fatigue or heaviness in the gaze. The use of botulinum toxin makes it possible to relax certain depressor muscles and stimulate the action of the elevator muscles. The indication for botulinum toxin is not the brow lift, its indication is the treatment of expression wrinkles between the eyebrows and at the corners of the eyes. The blocking of the muscles responsible for these wrinkles gives a brow-lifting effect.
The medical brow lift is a gentle method that provides a discreet yet visible effect, without altering the natural expression. The technique can be combined with a skin treatment or volumetric restoration for an optimal result.
The treatment of wrinkled eyelids and peri-orbital wrinkles is not limited to volumetric restoration. Photorejuvenation technologies and fractional ablative laser stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, inducing a progressive densification of the skin. This action not only helps to smooth fine lines, but also has a preventive effect on skin laxity. When the wrinkles are more pronounced or when the skin shows a greater loss of tone, only a medium peel allows true skin regeneration by completely renewing the superficial layers of the skin. This treatment provides a long-lasting disappearance of wrinkles and rejuvenates the gaze.
The duration of the results varies depending on the techniques used, the quality of the patient’s skin and their lifestyle. The results of hyaluronic acid injections last between 6 and 15 months, depending on the product used and the patient’s metabolism. Botulinum toxin has an average duration of action of 4 to 6 months. Laser photorejuvenation requires several sessions, but the effects are long-lasting thanks to the natural production of collagen. Regular follow-up helps maintain the benefits of the different treatments and act preventively to slow down aging.
Aesthetic-oriented medicine today offers a gentle, harmonious and safe approach to improve and rejuvenate the gaze. The goal is not to transform, but to enhance natural features, reveal the light of the gaze and give a more rested, more confident, more harmonious expression. Each treatment is adapted, precise to the millimeter and respectful of the identity of the face. By choosing an experienced doctor, you opt for a progressive, natural and elegant enhancement.
For any request for a personalized evaluation, a medical consultation in Geneva will allow you to benefit from a precise diagnosis and recommendations adapted to your face.
The options include injections of botulinum toxin to smooth expression wrinkles, injections of hyaluronic acid to fill hollow dark circles and restore volumes, the placement of tensor threads to reposition tissues, and laser photorejuvenation to stimulate collagen production and firm the skin.
Non-surgical treatments usually have minimal side effects, such as redness, bruising, or slight swelling, which disappear after a few days.
Natural remedies, such as gentle massages or the application of cold compresses, can temporarily reduce signs of fatigue, but their effects are limited compared to aesthetic-oriented medical treatments.
It is advisable to consult a doctor when signs of fatigue persist despite rest and lifestyle measures, or if pronounced dark circles, bags or wrinkles affect your self-confidence.
