Cheshire Lasers Shares Their Quest to Improve Under Eye Wrinkles:
Cheshire Lasers keeps investing in the latest under-eye treatments. Improving this area is challenging, and the results can be disappointing. We have so many successful solutions for treating or improving other areas of the face. However, the under-eye area has a different story.
Over the years, Cheshire Lasers has invested in numerous treatments and machines, hoping to find the latest best treatment for under-eye wrinkles. Sadly, many of them have not fully met our expectations. The treatments either don’t deliver consistently high-quality results in everyone, or they cause too much downtime or discomfort. This does not mean they do not work, because they do, but the results don’t work well in everyone or don’t meet the client’s expectations.
The more aggressive treatments work the best, but some of them can leave you bruised for a week or more, especially when a course of treatments are required.
Which treatments can improve under-eye wrinkles?
Cheshire Lasers offers all of the following Under Eye Treatments.
Most people have heard of Botox; it is excellent for treating what they call dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movement. Botox works by temporarily paralysing the muscles that create your wrinkles and fine lines. Treatment of these muscles causes the muscles to relax and the wrinkles soften.
Botox is very effective at muscle relaxation (it starts working within a few days), and as long as you do your research and go to a recommended experienced medical practitioner, you won’t end up with the ‘frozen face’ you see in some celebrities.
Botox helps with dynamic wrinkles, commonly known as crow’s feet, but it does not work so well if your concern is directly under the eye. This is because these lines are usually due to loss of collagen and elasticity of the skin and not just repetitive movement.
Cheshire Lasers offers a wide range of injectable treatments that stimulate collagen in the skin to improve skin texture and elasticity under the eyes. They can also help improve puffiness and dark circles and are now more popular than tear-trough injections.
They all involve a course of treatments and can deliver fantastic results. We also still provide tear trough treatments but these are only suitable for certain patients depending on their problem.
Most other under-eye anti-ageing treatments involve damaging your skin to make it heal, repair and then regenerate. The results last for varying lengths of time. Generally, the more aggressive the treatment, the better the results and the longer they last.
There are various ways to damage the skin surface:
Ultraformer MF2 causes injuries just under the skin using ultrasound energy. The high-intensity energy can be focused at the depth we want, causing injury to the collagen. It does not damage the visible upper layer of skin cells known as the epidermis, so there is little downtime.
This treatment could cause some bruising if you are unlucky. It can also cause a bit of redness, which usually goes after an hour or two. Sometimes it can cause slight swelling, which generally lasts hours or a few days if you are unlucky. Ultraformer MF2 usually requires a course of 3 treatments, sometimes more. It is currently the most popular treatment at Cheshire Lasers. The results are typically visible one month after your first treatment, but the result of collagen remodelling, tighter, younger-looking skin can take three months to be fully appreciated.
The ThermaClinic eye treatment, the Endymed eye treatment, uses radiofrequency technology to heat the skin to around 40 degrees Celsius, which is about the same temperature as a hot shower. The collagen in the dermis layer of the skin is heated to a level where it will contract. This brings on healing and repair, producing new collagen, which remodels and tightens naturally over time.
The CACI Eye Revive
The CACI Eye Revive Treatment involves low-level radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen, and it then opens up the skin channels of the skin to encourage penetration of hydrating products from the eye revive mask. It soothes tired, puffy eyes, reduces dark circles, lifts hooded eyes and yes, reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
A one-off treatment can lead you to a refreshed look and is great before a special event. However, a course of treatments delivers the best results.
Radiofrequency Microneedling involves puncturing tiny holes into your skin which then delivers an electric current to the collagen layer. This energy damages the skin and underlying collagen to create newer, younger looking firmer skin. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so it is only moderately irritating, despite how it sounds.
The cons: It takes 4-24hrs for the redness to settle. 3 treatments every 5 weeks may be needed for best results, which include brightening, smoothing and fine-line reduction. Although you can take things slowly and have a treatment every few months.
Laser
Resurfacing lasers create trauma to your skin. The most popular one is a CO2 laser. This is often fractionated in small dots to reduce the amount of trauma to the skin and the downtime. There are some downsides to Laser treatments. Your skin will look and feel badly sunburned for a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the intensity of the treatment. It then goes sandpapery texture for a week or two. The results can be fantastic as long as you are prepared for the downtime. No pain no gain as they say! This treatment is not currently available at Cheshire Lasers. Why not visit The Consulting Room website to see who provides this treatment near you.
Plasma Devices use Plasma Energy to create trauma to your skin. The downside is the immediate side effects including, swelling and reddening over the treated area for at least 2-3 days. The healing process will include crusting (which should be left to fall away naturally) over the course of about 7-10 days. Sometimes you can be left with residual inflammation/redness of the skin for weeks after treatment. This treatment is, therefore, more popular for the upper eye area where it can be covered rather than under the eye. Find out more about Plasma here.
How do I know which under-eye rejuvenation treatment is for me?
Injectable treatments run the risk of bruising and swelling after each treatment. Some of the treatments can help the under-eye dark circles as well as the fine lines.
The more ablative treatments such as CO2 laser and Plasma may require fewer treatments but have a longer downtime and can be more uncomfortable.
The Ultraformer is a compromise as it is quite aggressive in the deep layers of the skin. However, it rarely causes downtime. It can be uncomfortable, but the treatment is quick to perform, so any discomfort is over quickly.
CACI Eye Revive is a very relaxing, enjoyable treatment, but a course of 10 treatments is required once or twice a week.
RF Microneedling is an excellent treatment with excellent results and very little down time. However due to the cost of the disposable equipment, it is more expensive to perform and is only cost effective if you are considering a full face or face and neck procedure.
Radiofrequency is also a more enjoyable treatment which feels a bit like a hot stone massage for the face. Maintenance is recommended every six weeks after an initial course of 6 to 8 treatments.
As we age, we lose collagen and elastin in the skin, so the skin loses its capability to bounce back when we move and make different facial expressions. Facial expressions are important, but they do put a strain on our skin and its supporting collagen and over time, can cause dynamic wrinkles.
Smoking, sun exposure, diet and genetics also influence how the skin ages.
One study shows that smoking 30 cigarettes daily will add 14 years to your skin!
There are two types of UV rays present in sunlight. UVB, which is responsible for giving you sunburn and UVA. It is the UVA rays that are responsible for DNA damage and ageing of the skin.
Sugar may also contribute to premature ageing through the process of glycation. Glycation can cause damage the skin tissues over time and may make you more prone to having fine lines and wrinkles.
Genetics and our DNA can also play a role in ageing. Often if your parents and grandparents have great skin, you will, too. However, if they have skin issues like big pores and acne-prone skin, you may also be more susceptible to these issues.
How to prevent wrinkles?
Avoiding smoking, limiting sun exposure and cutting down on sugar will all help to improve your skin health. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables and including oily fish, like salmon, will also improve your skin health. Vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables will boost your overall health and give you a glow from within. Hydration is also crucial to keeping your skin healthy and clear, so ensure you are getting enough water throughout the day, too.
Some serums and creams are designed for the eye area that can help prevent more wrinkles.
Cheshire Lasers offers a wide range of skin peels to suit all skin types and problems. We recommend a course of treatments for the best results, but a one-off treatment can help boost your skin for a special occasion.
Why not book a consultation with Natasha and Anna so they can assess your needs and advise which treatment will suit you best? A consultation costs £25, but you can redeem this off your first treatment.

pHformula is a skin resurfacing system with actions between a cosmeceutical and a medical prescription treatment.
Skin Resurfacing and Peels stimulate the production of collagen and new skin cells to deliver fresher, healthier-looking skin.
What is different about pHformula?
pHformula has taken skin resurfacing even further and has a unique mechanism of action based on over three decades of combined scientific, medical and skin health knowledge and experience.
A conventional peeluses high concentrations of acids which cause tissue damage, inflammation, and plenty of peeling.
Ph formula delivers skin resurfacing treatments while preserving the integrity of your skin’s epidermis. There is, therefore, no downtime, no peeling and no impact on social interactions.
This is due to Ph formula’s unique delivery complex, which provides controlled chemical resurfacing without excessive skin irritation. It’s like having a peel without peeling!
The pH formula philosophy is all about the ‘outside in’ and ‘inside out’ approach.
The resurfacing systems target the needs of your skin type:
anti-ageing
hyperpigmentation
chronic redness
acne
Different treatments can be combined to create a bespoke program with controlled strength and depth depending on your skin’s sensitivity levels.
Whether you already have good skin or a specific skin concern with pHformula, we can tailor a regime for you in terms of in-clinic treatments and skin care products for daily use at home.

Reviews from Ariana’s clients:
The following reviews are from Ariana’s clients. Some of them have been given to her by her clients with permission to publish on this page, and some of them have been published directly on one of our online review pages.
After waking up with excruciating pain in my neck, (I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow, it felt like my neck had broken) I rang Ariana at Signature Health. Ariana saw me on the same day.
I needed a quick fix as I couldn’t stand the pain I was in but I also have three small children to look after and I didn’t think I’d be able to. Unbelievably, I got my quick fix!
Ariana reduced my pain dramatically in the first ten minutes. Ariana is extremely knowledgeable and was able to locate the issue, my neck muscles were in spasm. With gentle manipulation, massage and a laser machine, normal motion was restored and the pain was gone. I was advised to take it easy, which I did. Over the weekend I didn’t need to take any pain relief- just a hot water bottle got me through. I have not had any pain in my neck since!
I decided to seek Ariana’s advice about another back issue shortly after the first appointment as I was so impressed with her work. For years I’ve suffered with pain in my lower back, it’s been ongoing since having two c-sections six years ago, (a CT scan has shown that I have bulging disks which trap nerves in the lever part of the spine. I have been referred to a surgeon but nothing has happened with it and I’m still waiting for the hospital app 2 years on). Again, after the first session with Ariana, my lower back felt so much better and if surgery was an option now, I can honestly say wouldn’t accept it.
I can highly recommend Ariana, if you are in pain do not hesitate to get in touch with her, she will fix you!
I’ve had ongoing K-Laser treatment with Ariana Torti whom I strongly recommend to everyone. Ariana is a very professional therapist who makes her customers feel at ease from day 1. She cares for and listens attentively to the needs of her patients. I suffered extensive chronic muscular pain for several months due to stress and can say that Ariana’s K-Laser treatment has made a huge difference for me. This was my first visit to the Cheshire Lasers Clinic – such a spacious and bright area with ample parking at the back of the building and very friendly staff! Thank you Ariana and all, and see you again soon!
Review from Robert on Signature Health Google Page
I can’t recommend Ariana enough. After a really painful recovery after hip replacement, she has eased the pain so much. , arthritis joint pain trapped nerves are all things that I’ve seen Ariana for and had k-line treatment, and it’s really helped me out so much. I can’t recommend enough ,Thank you, Ariana
Review from Brian on Signature Health Google Page
I can thoroughly recommend Signature Health to support your rehabilitation back to better health. I have made significant improvements in my back pain as a result of an extensive, professional, holistic programme of K-laser treatment, massage, manipulation and take-away exercises. I am now well on the way to recovery thanks to Signature Health.
Review from Joan Edwards on Signature Health Google Page
My husband has suffered intense headaches for years and after visiting Ariana Torti today his head has cleared. She is wonderful!
Review from Ann on Signature Health Google Page
I have had pelvic pain for a number of years and nothing seems to have helped long term, having seen Ariana twice for Osteopathy and K laser, there is definitely a big improvement, I now feel hopeful that I will be able to get rid of this once and for all Ariana is very knowledgeable and has fully explained how and why this problem has occurred which helps me understand what is going on. I highly recommend her.

Skin resurfacing does not cause pain whilst having treatment. However, when the active ingredients are applied, your skin may feel hot or itchy and a little uncomfortable. This sensation is normal and does not usually last longer than a few minutes. If you notice pain or become very uncomfortable, it is important that you tell your therapist, who will remove the treatment immediately.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed will depend on your skin concern and the outcome you want to achieve.
A course of between 3 and 6 treatments is typical to achieve the best results.
Our Aesthetician will be able to advise you following your consultation and first treatment, which includes a skin sensitivity test.
