Under-Eye Skin Rejuvenation
UNDER-EYE MICRONEEDLING
“A refined approach to Brighter, Smoother, More Rested-Looking Eyes”
Under-Eye Microneedling at nurim is a refined, precision-led approach to periorbital rejuvenation. Using controlled micro-injury to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative response, the treatment is designed to support collagen and elastin production while improving the quality, texture and appearance of delicate under-eye skin.
Nurim philosophy is not to alter your expression, but to restore freshness, refinement and luminosity to the eye area – subtly and naturally. Our aesthetic team determines whether microneedling is appropriate for your specific concern. Treatment depth, intensity and protocol are customised according to skin thickness, sensitivity, pigmentation tendency and overall skin conditions.
TREATMENT PROCEDURE OF UNDER-EYE MICRONEEDLING:
Under-eye microneedling demands exceptional precision. At Nurim, every stage is thoughtfully designed around the delicate anatomy and individual skin characteristics of the periorbital area.
01
Stage 1: Personalised Consultation-
The treatment begins with a detailed assessment of the under-eye area, including skin texture, fine lines, pigmentation, hydration and firmness. Our experts evaluate your concerns and determine whether microneedling is appropriate.
02
Step 2: Gentle Preparation-
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepared using a delicate protocol suitable for the sensitive eye contour. Comfort measures may be considered according to individual requirements.
03
Step 3: Precision Microneedling-
Using a professional microneedling device, controlled micro-channels are created at carefully selected settings. The technique and intensity are adapted to the thin, delicate nature of the under-eye skin, encouraging the skin’s natural repair and collagen-remodelling response.
04
Step 4: Skin Recovery Support-
Following treatment, an appropriate soothing and hydrating formulation may be applied to support comfort and the skin barrier. Any additional topical treatment is selected according to your individual treatment plan.
05
Step 5: Post-treatment Protection –
The skin is gently cared for and protected before you leave the clinic. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided, including guidance regarding skincare, sun exposure and activities during the recovery period.
06
Step 6: Progressive Skin Renewal-
The regenerative process continues after the treatment. As the skin naturally remodels collagen over the following weeks, the under-eye may gradually appear smoother, firmer and more refined.
