Eye Bags & Dark Circles
The area between the lower eyelid and upper cheek, known as the tear trough, can develop hollowness, shadowing, and discolouration over time.
These changes often lead to the appearance of dark circles or under-eye bags, giving the face a tired or prematurely aged look.Polynucleotides offer a regenerative alternative to traditional filler in this delicate area.
Rather than adding volume, they work by stimulating tissue repair, improving skin thickness, elasticity, and hydration. This leads to a gradual yet noticeable reduction in dark circles, crepiness, and fine lines, resulting in a brighter, smoother, and more revitalised under-eye appearance.

Polynucleotide Eye Treatment
The tear trough—the delicate area between the lower eyelid and upper cheek—can become hollow, shadowed, or discoloured with age due to a gradual loss of collagen, elasticity, and dermal support. These changes often create the appearance of dark circles, under-eye bags, or fatigue, even when you’re well rested.
Polynucleotide injections offer a regenerative approach to treating this area. Rather than simply filling the hollow, they work at a cellular level to improve skin quality, stimulate collagen production, and enhance hydration. The result is a gradual yet natural improvement in brightness, texture, and firmness around the eyes, with reduced crepiness and less visible dark circles.


This treatment is ideal for individuals who:
• Have a hollow or sunken appearance beneath the eyes
• Notice persistent dark circles or tear trough shadowing
• Want to reduce signs of fatigue and restore brightness to the eye area
• Are looking for non-surgical options to address mild to moderate under-eye concerns
• Prefer subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal downtime
How Does the Treatment Work?
Two main approaches are used in the treatment of tear troughs:
• Tear Trough Filler: A very soft, hydrating hyaluronic acid filler is placed precisely along the tear trough to restore lost volume and reduce the shadowing that causes dark circles. This method offers immediate results and is ideal for those with well-defined hollows and good skin quality.
• Polynucleotides: Increasingly favoured as a regenerative alternative to traditional fillers, polynucleotides work by stimulating tissue repair, fibroblast activity, and collagen production. Rather than simply filling the area, they improve skin quality and density over time, reducing crepiness and pigmentation. Polynucleotides are especially suitable for clients with delicate or thin under-eye skin, where filler may be too heavy or increase the risk of puffiness.
Both treatments are tailored to your specific anatomy and goals, and in some cases, a combined approach may be appropriate.

Injection Points for Tear Trough Treatment:
• For dermal filler, micro-cannula or needle techniques are used to place product precisely along the orbital rim, avoiding excessive volume in the central trough
• For polynucleotides, small injections are placed into the periorbital area to stimulate gradual tissue regeneration
• Injection strategy is chosen based on the severity of hollowing, skin thickness, and overall eye area structure

Long-Term Benefits of Regular Botulinum Toxin Treatments
• Muscle Fatigue & Reduction in Bulk – With repeated treatments, the targeted muscle becomes weaker over time due to reduced activity, leading to a gradual slimming effect in areas such as the jawline, trapezius, and masseter muscles.
• Prevention of Deep Static Lines – Regular use of botulinum toxin reduces repetitive muscle contractions, preventing wrinkles from becoming permanently etched into the skin and resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Increased Longevity of Results – As the underlying muscles adapt to reduced movement, many clients find that they require fewer units over time or that results last longer between treatments.
• Gradual Muscle Wastage (Atrophy) – Over time, the muscle experiences atrophy (a decrease in size and strength), leading to longer-lasting results and a reduced need for frequent treatments in some cases.
• Enhanced Facial and Body Contouring – In areas like the jawline, trapezius, or masseter muscles, consistent treatments reduce bulk and refine the contour, creating a naturally sculpted and balanced aesthetic.
