Eye lines are often referred to as crows feet, smile lines, laugh lines or character lines. Nearly anyone who is over the age of 25 will have these v-shaped lines or wrinkles at the corner of their eyes. Eye lines include static and dynamic wrinkles. (see wrinkles)

Why do Eye Lines form?

The causes of these lines include collagen breakdown, loss of elasticity in the skin, too much sun exposure, diet and lifestyle choices such as smoking.

How can Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture help your eye lines?

Cosmetic Acupuncture works in 2 ways:

1) It stimulates the blood flow, collagen and elastin in the face. Acupuncture also works with strengthening the muscles great for lifting and tightening the skin. Over a program of treatments you will notice a reduction in your wrinkles and possibly an elimination of the fine lines around your eyes. As well as this if you experience puffiness, dark circles, dryness or tear troughs around the eyes acupuncture also helps to improve these symptoms simultaneously.

2) Your treatments do not just consist of a facial treatment we also assess your overall health and treat any conditions that you may present with. For example insomnia, menopausal symptoms, digestive disturbances etc. These health conditions can make a big difference to the health of your skin. At the end of your program we will have treated your internal and external health and beauty.

Loss of elasticity and tone of muscles means that gravity takes hold and sagging of the skin results.

Eye brows lose their arch giving a ‘sad-eye’ appearance. The cheek bone around the eye area, and the mid and lower cheek also sag creating deeper naso-labial grooves (the line running from the nose to the outer corner of the mouth), downward turning of the mouth and drooping jowls (side areas of the jaw/chin).

What are Dynamic Wrinkles?

Dynamic wrinkles occur when we use our muscles to form facial expressions. During facial expressions such as smiling and frowning our muscles contract and cause our skin to wrinkle. For example, when we smile our eye wrinkles become prominent and when we frown the vertical lines between our eyebrows become noticeable.

When we are young our skin springs back to its original position when we finish making the facial expression (at rest) but as we get older the dynamic wrinkles remain on the skin to form static wrinkles.

What are Static Wrinkles?

Static wrinkles are the wrinkles and folds that are present at rest or when we are not forming facial expressions. They develop as we get older because natural substances such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that provide the skin with structure and volume decrease with age.

The loss of skin structure and volume means that the skin is less able to spring back to its initial position after facial expression, and as a result static wrinkles and folds form.
