Under-Eye Treatments
Skin Injectables
Treatments made for the delicate skin under the eyes.
Appointment length: 30 minutes
What it is
The skin under the eyes is the thinnest on the face, so it needs its own products.
Vitaran Eyes – a polynucleotide for the under-eye area, designed to support skin quality, texture and elasticity
Illuma Luna – an under-eye booster aimed at brightness and hydration
Which one suits you is decided at your consultation.
