Treating the skin around your eyes
Winter is for warm layers of clothing. While all our cold weather accessories create excellent camouflage for Body Sculpting opportunities; they simultaneously centre what we do see by framing our face.
Aesthetics in Focus: The Eyes
The unique beauty in one’s eyes is truly timeless; ageing around the eyes is not. Bone structure, genetics, environmental exposure, and the fragility of delicate skin surrounding the eyes all contribute to the way visible ageing is accentuated or downplayed in our eye area. An astute awareness of the aesthetic importance of this area serves to inform Dr Clark’s approach. Preventing, halting, and reversing unwanted ageing is entirely possible and the scope of achievable results without utilizing surgery is impressive and encouraging. Here are four key elements to consider regarding the eye region.
Element #1 – A Sagging Brow
Address and correct a sagging brow through the use of one or more types of injectables. Add volume with Hyaluronic Acid to provide a natural ‘lifting’ affect. Employ Botulinum Toxin in some cases to strategically halt specific muscle contractions that would otherwise deepen existing wrinkles. Injection points will be chosen in conjunction with individual particulars, however, an effective liquid brow lift often includes injection points behind the eyebrows, in the temple area, and on the forehead.
Element #2 – The Glabella i.e. ‘frown-lines’
Clarify emotional expressions by effectively removing interfering furrows between the eyebrows. Dermal Fillers are one option used to plump and fill these deep-set lines as they can be inserted directly behind the wrinkles themselves. Botulinum Toxin is another approach that can be implemented instead of or in addition. When it is used, it is place higher up in the forehead in order to release muscle tensions that are contributing to the glabella lines. Both of these can work to smooth and soften the appearance of frown-lines.
*Note Addressing the Glabella requires a high level of medical competency. Ensure your Doctor is qualified and experienced.
Element #3 – Crows’ Feet
These fine lines are often some of the first to appear as we age. Restore the crease-less and even textured skin at the side of your eyes easily with the assistance of Dermal Fillers. The introduction of Hyaluronic Acid brings moisture to the area to naturally fill-in lines from within. The use of Botulinum Toxin in this area can also be an effective solution in creating the desired aesthetic result. Product chosen will dictate exact placement position but injection points will likely be around the side of eyes in the temple area.
Element #4 – Under eye ‘bags’ and circles
Refresh your look by removing the distracting under ‘bags’ and eye circles. Thin skin along with loss of volume creates the shadows and conditions where under eye bags and circles gain prominence. Please be aware that effectively solving this common complaint involves a high level of technical competence. The correctly chosen product must be carefully injected in precise amounts. This in turn produces volume that gently lifts skin away from the dark blood vessels thus counteracting the concern with visible rejuvenating brightening.
*Gold standard cosmeceutical products can also be employed to assist in nurturing this delicate skin and targeting these commonly experienced under eye bane’s. Click here to view SAI’s Online Shop.
Variety for Distinct Purposes
The term Dermal Filler is applied to a wide range of injectable products. Far from being interchangeable, each one offers unique advantages in specific application usage. Variance encompasses ingredients, formulation ratio’s, particle size, viscosity and more. Selection and usage will depend on outcomes desired, individual anatomy, and placement. Choosing the correct filler is highly important and requires a broad medical and product knowledge as well as years of experience.
It should be noted that even though Botulinum Toxin is classified as an injectable, it carries a completely unique and separate mechanism of action when compared to other injectables. By pausing muscle movement contraction it both prevents future wrinkles from forming while smoothing out creased skin almost immediately. Whether used on its own or in companionship with Dermal Fillers; it can produce natural-looking results.
Choice Matters
Dr Clark is renown for his application techniques as well as his product choices. He regularly trains other doctors in how to effectively implement injectables within the field of medical aesthetics.

Extending Past the Eyes
Addressing the eye region in particular carries specific advantages. However; one should always keep a holistic approach to beauty in mind. Skin rejuvenation techniques along with an attention to inner health (including nourishing habits and healthy eating) will serve to increase the overall visibility and enjoyment of long-lasting positive anti-ageing results.
