Sagging Skin Around the Eyes

Sagging skin around the eyes is a common concern that can make individuals look tired or older than they feel.

Sagging skin around the eyes is a common concern that can make individuals look tired or older than they feel. At our medical spa in Calgary, Arlo Medical Injections, we specialise in treatments for the delicate skin around the eyes. Understanding the causes and treatment options for sagging skin can help you decide what is worth considering.

What Is Sagging Skin Around the Eyes?

Sagging skin around the eyes, also known as periorbital sagging, occurs when the skin loses its elasticity and firmness. This can lead to a droopy or puffy appearance, particularly under the eyes and on the upper eyelids. The skin in this area is particularly delicate and thin, making it more susceptible to the effects of ageing and other factors.

What Causes Sagging Skin Around the Eyes?

Ageing: As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, proteins that keep the skin firm and elastic. This natural decline leads to sagging and wrinkles, especially in the thin skin around the eyes.
Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can break down collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, accelerating the ageing process and causing the skin to sag.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor diet, and lack of sleep can contribute to the premature ageing of the skin, including the delicate area around the eyes.
Genetics: Your genetic makeup can influence how your skin ages, including how prone you are to developing sagging skin around the eyes.

Available Treatments for Sagging Skin Around the Eyes

At Arlo Medical Injections, we offer a range of treatments for the skin around the eyes:

Plexr Plus: Plexr Plus uses plasma energy to tighten and lift sagging skin around the eyes without surgery. It is one of the non-invasive options for periorbital skin laxity and excess eyelid skin.
NeoGen PSR Skin Rejuvenation: NeoGen PSR uses nitrogen plasma energy to resurface and tighten the delicate skin around the eyes, stimulating collagen renewal for a refreshed appearance without surgery.
Dysport and Botox: prescription injectables offered at our Calgary clinic. Pricing is confirmed at your consultation, and a prescription is required before treatment.
Dermal Fillers: Fillers can add volume to the under-eye area, helping to soften the appearance of hollows or shadows under the eyes.

For more significant sagging, surgical blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is an option worth knowing about, though it is not a treatment we perform directly. We are happy to discuss whether Plexr Plus or NeoGen PSR can meet your goals, or talk through a referral if surgery is the better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the skin around my eyes sagging?

The skin around the eyes is delicate and prone to sagging due to ageing, which reduces collagen and elastin production, leading to loss of firmness. Factors like sun exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of sleep can accelerate this process. Genetics also play a role in determining how quickly skin loses its elasticity.

What non-surgical options can help with skin tightening under the eyes?

At Arlo Medical Injections, the non-surgical options for this area are Plexr Plus and NeoGen PSR, both of which use plasma energy to tighten and resurface the skin around the eyes. Daily sun protection and a consistent skincare routine help protect the results. Where sagging is more pronounced, surgical blepharoplasty may be the better fit, and that is carried out by a physician rather than at our clinic. A consultation is the way to work out which option suits you.

How to support collagen under the eyes?

Skincare products containing retinol, vitamin C, and peptides can support collagen production over time. A balanced diet and consistent daily sun protection help limit further collagen breakdown. In clinic, NeoGen PSR and Plexr Plus use plasma energy to stimulate collagen renewal in the skin around the eyes. Results vary from person to person and are reviewed at your consultation.

How to regain fat under eyes?

Regaining fat under the eyes naturally is challenging; however, improving overall skin health can enhance the appearance of this area. Maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated supports skin health. Non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers can replace lost volume under the eyes, giving a fuller and more youthful appearance. Always consult a healthcare professional before undergoing treatments.
