At DaVida Medical & Aesthetics, our expert team of aesthetic providers offers advanced microneedling to keep patients looking relaxed and radiant. Microneedling has gained massive popularity for its ability to rejuvenate skin, reduce fine lines, and improve overall texture. But when it comes to more delicate areas like around the eyes, many people wonder: Is microneedling treatment under eyes safe?

In this blog post, we’ll take a more specific look at how microneedling can help with circles, bags, and other concerns under the eyes.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a device with fine needles that create tiny punctures in the skin. This controlled injury triggers the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

While it’s commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage, microneedling can also target specific concerns around the eyes.

Is Microneedling Treatment Under Eyes Safe?

Yes, microneedling treatment under eyes can be safe when performed by a trained professional using the correct technique and tools. The skin under the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than other areas, so extra care is essential.

Benefits of Microneedling Under the Eyes

When done properly, microneedling treatment under eyes is a safe procedure and offers several benefits:

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet
• Improves skin tone and texture
• Minimizes under-eye bags and puffiness
• Enhances collagen production for firmer skin

Possible Side Effects

Mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity are common after microneedling, especially in the under-eye area. These usually subside within 24 to 48 hours. In rare cases, improper technique can lead to bruising or more prolonged irritation.

Who Should Avoid Microneedling Under the Eyes?

People with the following conditions should avoid microneedling in sensitive areas:

• Active skin infections or rashes
• Severe eczema or psoriasis
• Blood clotting disorders
• Recent use of Accutane (within the past 6 months)

Always consult a licensed esthetician before undergoing treatment, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

Conclusion

Microneedling treatment under eyes can be a safe and effective option for revitalizing the delicate eye area, as long as it’s done properly. Choose a qualified provider, follow pre- and post-care instructions, and you’ll be on your way to brighter, smoother under-eye skin.
