Dermal Fillers: These are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid or other substances to plump up the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of hollows and shadows.
RF (Radiofrequency): Radiofrequency treatments use energy waves to heat the skin and stimulate collagen production, which can improve the texture and elasticity of the under-eye area.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin around the eyes, reducing puffiness.
MFU (Microfocused Ultrasound): MFU treatments utilize ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin, targeting the underlying structures responsible for under-eye circles and puffiness.
