Under-Eye Fine Lines explained
The skin under the eyes is among the thinnest on the face, so it shows lines early. Fine lines here can come from dryness, sun damage, smiling and squinting, and collagen loss. They are different from deep hollows, which usually need filler.
How Under-Eye Fine Lines works
Skin boosters such as Rejuran Eye or PN injections place small amounts of polynucleotide under the skin to improve thickness and hydration over several sessions. Low-dose under-eye Botox softens creases caused by muscle movement. Fractional lasers or eye RF stimulate collagen to firm and smooth the skin.
