Eye Treatments Explained: Best Time to Start & Key Benefits

The skin around your eyes is a delicate area that requires special attention. Unlike the rest of your face, the eye area has unique characteristics that make it more vulnerable to aging, dryness, and puffiness. Eye treatments are designed specifically to address these issues and have gained immense popularity in recent years. For instance, people have been using Microcurrent to treat the eye area’s special conditions. With a century of research supporting it, Microcurrent is a gentle and effective treatment that you can find in spas, as well as at home. Many options exist on the market today, but the Myolift line of devices set the standard. The science of products and ingredients has also come a long way in terms of purity and effectiveness. As you can imagine, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach for which one you should use.

But when you decide to implement an eye treatment into your skincare routine, how do you know which one will work for you? 

Why Is The Eye Area Different?

The skin around your eyes is physiologically different from the rest of your face. For starters, it’s much thinner. In fact, for some people, the skin is so thin that it can appear almost translucent. This contributes to the appearance of dark circles by revealing the fluids that tend to pool around the eye. One of the advantages of using a Myolift Microcurrent device, like our Myolift™ Triwave which has the lymphatic drainage waveform for the eyes, is that it will increase blood flow and boost lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid pooling to brighten and depuff.

Also, the skin around your eyes is more sensitive and vulnerable to damage. It’s subjected to constant movement from blinking, smiling, and other facial expressions, and the eye area tends to produce less sebum than the rest of the face. Given these factors, the eye area is more prone to aging and dryness, which is why it’s important to treat it specifically. 

Eye treatments are formulated to address these concerns with more gentle and targeted ingredients than typical face creams. As for when you should start using one? Well, prevention is always easier than correction. If you use a gentle eye treatment early on, it can help delay visible signs of aging.

7e Eye Lift Serum: A Tailored Solution

One prime example of an eye treatment designed to cater to the unique needs of this delicate area is the 7e Eye Lift Serum.  With ingredients that target dark or puffy under eye areas, crow’s feet and dryness this is an ideal solution. 

For Dark or Puffy Under Eyes

A good eye treatment usually incorporates ingredients that stimulate microcirculation to brighten darkness and depuff the skin. The 7e  EyeLift Serum used Green Coffee Seed Extract as a natural source of protective polyphenols and caffeine. Caffeine temporarily increases blood circulation to immediately brighten the eye area and clear out pooled fluid that causes dark circles.

For Crow’s Feet
This serum contains a combination of peptides that work together to firm and tone the skin, clear out pooled blood, and reduce swelling. Peptides also help prevent glycation, a process that breaks down collagen and contributes to skin aging.  When using Myolift Microcurrent devices you are able to relax the muscles that become tight from over use and soften those crow’s feet. You can also apply our conductive eye mask which helps to target that area. 

For Dryness and Irritation
Eye treatments like the 7e Eye Lift Serum can help you address dryness and irritation. Ingredients like Glycerin, a humectant, draw moisture into the skin, boost hydration, and plump up fine lines. It is also packed with botanicals like Evening Primrose that nourish and protect the skin from oxidative damage.

Eye Treatment Tips and Tricks

To get the most out of your eye treatment, be consistent. Here are some simple tips:

• Use your eye treatment 1-2 times a day. Follow up with moisturizer and SPF as needed.
• Dispense a pea-sized amount of the product and gently tap it into your under-eye area.
• For an extra depuffing effect, keep your eye treatment in the refrigerator.

In a pinch, you can use your eye treatment as a flash mask. Apply a full pump under both eyes, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe off or rub in the excess. If you’re planning on using it with other treatments such as a Myolift QT, even better! Myolift Microcurrent helps to infuse these ingredients deeper into the skin for better results.
