We know that the skin around the eyes is the first part of the body to age and is also the most vulnerable part of the facial skin. In clinical use, have you ever used photoelectric beauty to improve fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes?

Compared with laser and radio frequency (RF), which one will have a better effect?

  1. Causes and treatment of periocular wrinkles. The eyes are the core area of ​​the face. With the increase of age, coupled with the influence of bad living habits such as staying up late, looking at mobile phones for a long time, and inadequate care, the eye area is the first part to show signs of aging.

The skin around the eyes is sensitive and fragile. The thickness of the eye skin is only 0.3-0.5mm, which is about 1/5-1/3 of the thickness of other parts of the face. It contains almost no sebaceous glands and sweat glands, and the blood vessels are extremely fine. There is little collagen and elastic fiber distribution in the eyes, and there is a lack of support from fat and muscle fibers. In addition, it must withstand about 10,000 high-intensity eyelid micro-movements and folding of various expressions every day, which is very easy to cause aging problems such as sagging, wrinkles, eye bags, and dark circles. The first wrinkle on the face usually starts from the eyes.

Non-ablative fractional 1927 nm thulium laser for wrinkle removal around the eyes

Symptoms: The skin around the eyes is dry, loose, and has no tension, with fine wrinkles arranged radially.

Causes: There are two main reasons for the aging of the skin around the eyes: one is the loss of collagen, and the other is the fracture of skin tissue. The tissue in the skin around the eyes is like the “rebar” in a building, and collagen is like “cement”. When the “rebar” collapses due to aging and cannot fix and support collagen, wrinkles, collapse, and sagging will appear around the eyes.

The periocular area is one of the thinnest parts of the human skin. Wrinkles in this area appear early. Genes, photoaging, hormones and environmental stress are the main causes. Unlike dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles refer to lines that are still visible when the face is expressionless. They are also called true wrinkles. Their causes are more complicated and difficult to treat. At present, the treatments for static wrinkles around the eyes include topical medications, chemical peels, injection fillers, botulinum toxin type A injections, laser and radio frequency treatments.

  1. Can photoelectric beauty machines be used to treat wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes? Let’s talk about the answer first. The answer is yes!

Take non-ablative fractional laser (1927 nm laser), radio frequency and the most commonly used intense pulsed light (IPL) as examples.

2.1 1927nm non-ablative fractional thulium laser for the treatment of periocular wrinkles.
1927nm thulium laser, non-ablative fractional laser treatment is a relatively effective treatment method for improving fine lines around the eyes. Its treatment principle is to cause the photothermal effect of the basal layer and dermis and the activation of skin stem cells induced by heat shock protein without peeling the epidermis, inducing wound healing response, increasing collagen production, and promoting collagen reorganization, thereby improving fine lines and relaxation around the eyes. This treatment method has a short recovery time and can accurately control the treatment depth to avoid excessive stimulation to the sensitive skin around the eyes. The effect is obvious after a course of treatment.

In one study, 24 patients were selected and received 1927nm non-ablative fractional laser treatment every two weeks for a total of five consecutive treatments. The biomechanical properties of the skin were measured using a dermaelastometer. Skin elasticity measurements were taken at three sites around the eye. Dermatometry analysis showed significant improvements in skin elasticity. The clinical results of the treatment were analyzed using photographic records, which showed a 47% reduction in the number and depth of eye wrinkles. It shows that 1927nm non-ablative fractional laser treatment is an effective method to reduce eye wrinkles and improve firmness.

2.2 RF for the treatment of periocular wrinkles.
Radio frequency (RF) is a high-frequency electromagnetic wave with a frequency of more than 10,000 times per second. It can act on the dermis and use the heat conduction effect of the high-frequency electric field to heat the dermis to 45-60 degrees, directly stimulating the collagen fibers and elastic fibers deep in the dermis to contract, regenerate and reorganize, thereby achieving the effect of tightening the skin and improving wrinkles with few adverse reactions.

2.3 IPL for the treatment of periocular wrinkles.
In terms of anti-aging around the eyes, IPL can act on the deep layers of the skin, promoting the regeneration and rearrangement of collagen, thereby improving the texture and elasticity of the skin around the eyes. It can also reduce dark circles and improve uneven eye skin tone. The advantage of IPL treatment is that it can treat a variety of problems around the eyes and achieve a comprehensive anti-aging effect.

  1. Comparison of the treatment effects of different photoelectric beauty machines. A study selected 71 patients, of which 24 patients were treated with 1927nm non-ablative fractional thulium laser every 2 weeks; 23 patients were treated with bipolar radiofrequency once a week; 24 patients were treated with IPL every 2 weeks. A total of 5 times were completed, and professional skin physiological testing equipment was used to evaluate changes in skin elasticity. Patients also filled out a questionnaire regarding their pre- and post-treatment outcomes.

The results showed that non-ablative fractional laser, bipolar radiofrequency and intense pulsed light treatments can improve skin elasticity.

Among them, the improvement percentage of R6 (note: it is an indicator of skin moisture content) parameter of non-ablative fractional laser treatment is the most significant, which is better than other methods (p<0.0001) (note: p value less than 0.05 means it is very effective), but There is no statistical significance between the efficacy of RF (radio frequency) and IPL (photorejuvenation).

Patient questionnaire results found that all three treatments could reduce the number and depth of wrinkles, but had no effect on other symptoms of skin aging, including periorbital pigment abnormalities, eye bags, dark circles and edema. All three technologies can improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles, but the most effective one is 1927 nm non-ablative fractional laser, followed by IPL, which is intense pulsed light therapy.

  1. Conclusions on different beauty machines in reducing wrinkles around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is thin. To avoid excessive thermal damage causing scars, pigmentation or local depression caused by apoptosis of fat cells, the appropriate treatment depth is the key to successful treatment. Non-ablative fractional laser (1927nm thulium laser) can effectively improve periocular wrinkles and eyelid relaxation, and the effect is better than bipolar radiofrequency and IPL. Bipolar radiofrequency is more suitable for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles in the elderly, and non-ablative fractional laser is recommended for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles in young patients.
  2. FAQs about beauty equipment for reducing wrinkles around the eyes. Q: Is radio frequency better than laser for wrinkle removal? Answer: For wrinkles on the face and body skin, monopolar RF is a very effective treatment method. If it is the removal of wrinkles around the eyes, the non-ablative fractional thulium laser is more effective.

Q: Which method is best for removing wrinkles under the eyes?
Answer: 1927nm thulium laser. Because it is a non-ablative, safe and effective treatment to promote collagen regeneration in the under-eye area, the 1927nm thulium laser is very suitable for removing under-eye wrinkles.

Q: Which beauty machines can treat around the eyes?
Answer: The area around the eyes is a very sensitive area of ​​human skin. Only RF and non-ablative 1927nm thulium laser can treat it.

Q: What are effective skin tightening treatments?
Answer: In the beauty machine skin tightening treatment, the 6.78mhz monopolar RF machine anti-aging and the 1927nm fractional thulium laser non-ablative treatment are both effective and very safe beauty projects.

  1. More information about eye wrinkle removal machine. For the treatment of wrinkles around the eyes, beauty machine manufacturer Litonlaser has many products that can reduce and improve wrinkles around the eyes and under the eyes.

IPL intense pulsed light can be used for treatment of the eye area, but it needs to be set at a lower energy and wear an eye mask, otherwise the strong light of IPL will affect people’s eyes. The photothermal effect of IPL has a sufficient wavelength to reach the dermis and stimulate collagen production, thereby removing wrinkles around the eyes.

RF technology is widely used. In the field of beauty machines, it is often used to produce monopolar RF or bipolar RF. Monopolar RF is more prominent in treatment effect, and 6.78mhz monopolar RF is currently the most mainstream anti-aging frequency.

Non-ablative fractional laser, with 1927nm thulium laser being the best, is a relatively new beauty technology. Traditional thulium laser is mainly used in the urology system of medical hospitals, while 1927nm laser, because of its depth to the mesoderm (the boundary between the epidermis and dermis), can play a good role in the beauty of the skin, including the removal of wrinkles. It can also be treated with confidence for the eye area because it is a relatively safe non-ablative output method.
