Puffiness Under the Eyes

Puffiness under the eyes is characterized by thin skin due to decreased (epidermal) skin cell growth and decreased collagen formation.  In addition, there is an accumulation of fluid in the epidermis and dermis, and finally bulging of the fat pads.  Restorative Eye Firming Therapy is administered by a physician, nurse, esthetician, or other trained profession and is designed to decrease puffy eyes, improve skin tone, and decrease the appearance of fine lines under the eye and crow’s feet.  Our enzyme complex peel, reparative eye gel and rejuvenating facial firming mask work together to remove dead skin cells, induce enzymatic activity in the epidermis, and infuse hydrating molecules into the skin, instantly reducing the appearance of puffiness, fine lines and crow’s feet around the eye.     It is important to use the specific product and appropriate sequence for the Restorative Eye Firming Therapy in order to increase the penetration of each product and achieve the maximum benefit.  This is important because each product is pH adjusted.  This enhances the penetration and effectiveness of each product in the protocol.  Using an alternative product with an inappropriate pH could decrease or even eliminate the benefits of the therapy.

This 30 minute therapy is outlined and can be used as a standalone eye therapy or in addition to other facial services

 1.  It is important to make sure all makeup is removed before beginning the eye firming protocol.  Our Makeup Removerfor face and eyes is designed for the removal of any residual makeup and other skin impurities.  Remember to remove makeup before bed and discard old makeup.

2.  Rejuvenating Cleanser with “glypoic complex” (which is a combination of glypure-L and alpha lipoic acid in a facial cleanser) is designed to remove dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil to prepare the skin for the restorative eye firming therapy protocol.  Cleansers are designed to prepare the skin for treatments, therapies, and products and should be adjusted based on an individual’s skin type.

3.  The neutralizer is applied to prep the skin creating a uniform layer of hydration around the eyes and adjusts the pH of the skin enhancing the effectiveness of the enzyme complex peel.

 4.  A short contact enzyme complex peel avoiding the upper eyelid skin is applied for 2-3 minutes (which can be increased 1 minute with each treatment not to exceed 7 minutes) and then removed.  The enzyme complex peel is a unique combination of proteases and lipases (enzymes) versus the single enzyme products on the market.  It is designed to restore normal skin growth, exfoliate dead skin cells, and replenish epidermal enzymes.

 

5.  After removing the enzyme complex, apply a small amount of the reparative eye gel.  This product, also, contains the trademarked “glypoic complex” and is the only eye product in the market place which contains glypure-L and alpha lipoic acid in a single product.  Do not apply to the upper eyelid skin and avoid stretching or pulling the skin around the eye.  This is designed to restore the normal skin pH, improve skin cell growth, restore normal skin exfoliation, and increase collagen synthesis.  This improves skin texture, firms and tightens the skin, improves skin color, and reduces the appearance of fine line and wrinkles.

 

6.  The rejuvenating facial firming mask with soluble collagen and glycoproteins penetrate the skin improving skin firmness and tone.  It can be use on the upper and lower eyelid skin.

7.  The rejuvenating protein moisturizer can be applied to the upper and lower eyelid skin.  It is enriched with glycoproteins.  Glycoproteins are the skins natural moisturizing molecules which improve skin tone and moisture content.  In addition, the facial moisturizer SPF 35 with transparent zinc oxide can be used if one is going to be in the sun.

Particularly the day of the therapy, drink water, decrease salt and alcohol intake, avoid cigarette smoking, and sleep with head elevated and face up.  Look at maintaining overall health with weight control, balanced diet, and physical fitness on a daily basis.

Additional measures can be introduced to prevent and maintain treatment results.  It centers on one’s home skincare care maintenance program and using other Rx Systempf custom, combination therapies and treatments.  We want you to look and feel your everyday fabulous with our new eye therapies.
