Eyes Rejuvenated: Your Ultimate Guide for Radiant Eyes
Some say that your eyes are the first features others see when they look at you, so it’s only natural you want them to look as vibrant and youthful as ever. However, time and life can have an impact, allowing crows feet and dark circles to creep in. So, what can we do to preserve the radiance around our eyes? Take a read of our guide to see which well-loved treatments and popular products you can invest in to feel as youthful as ever.
There are many reasons why your eyes may appear dull and lacklustre, but there are products and treatments to help make your eyes look more youthful and vibrant.
The science behind radiant eyes
The area of skin surrounding the eyes is notably thinner and more delicate than other facial features. As a result, they can become exceptionally susceptible to signs of ageing, including wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles and hollowness. While environmental factors can sometimes be to blame, such as sun exposure, pollution and lifestyle choices, there is also a lack of oil glands in this region which further exacerbates dryness and dehydration. It all sounds pretty negative but be rest assured, there’s good news. The beauty industry now has a wide array of treatments to combat these concerns and make dull eyes a thing of the past.
Eradicating peri-orbital dark circles
Peri-orbital dark circles can often be the result of visible signs of fatigue, stress or genetics, hugely affecting confidence in your skin. In addition to the elements that you can’t necessarily control, lifestyle elements such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and insufficient sleep can further contribute to their prominence. Shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under the eyes can also mimic dark circles, accentuating the need for targeted solutions.
For those who want to boost the hydration around their eyes, a course of hydrafacial sessions can be of huge benefit. Not only does it deliver a cocktail of serums to infuse the skin with much-needed hydration, it also finishes with a red and infrared LED light therapy session to stimulate collagen, providing your eyes with the sparkle it’s been craving.

If you want something a little more long-lasting and low-maintenance, we highly recommend Lumi Eyes, a super speedy and safe treatment that is injected to rid the under-eyes of dark circles, while simultaneously moisturising and fighting the appearance of fine lines. In addition, tear trough fillers are a great alternative. By filling the under eye area with hyaluronic acid, they plump the skin, removing the appearance of hollow under-eyes and dark circles. Both Lumi Eyes and tear trough filler treatments are available with our in-house advanced aesthetic practitioner, Lisa. Lisa attends the salon usually twice a month.

Banishing wrinkles
Wrinkles around the eyes are a testament to your life experiences and expressions, often manifesting due to thinning skin and diminishing elasticity. Commonly referred to as crow’s feet, they can also settle in due to sun exposure, repetitive facial movements and genetic predisposition. Here at Beauty Within Salon, we have a vast array of treatments aimed at addressing crows feet effectively.
Want a treatment with minimal downtime? The LED light therapy facial is for you. It stimulates collagen, which is the magic ingredient for plump skin, particularly around the eyes. If you want something a little more ‘hardcore’, microneedling is extremely effective. The microneedling pen forms tiny punctures in the skin, kickstarting collagen production and a wound-healing response, as a result, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, as well as acne scarring, pigmentation and other concerns.
Of course, anti-wrinkle injections are a well-loved treatment, particularly by Hollywood celebrities. By freezing the muscles in the associated area, it stops the muscle and skin from moving, removing the likelihood of wrinkles settling in place. Although it’s best used as a preventative measure, it can also be effective if wrinkles are already present.
