The delicate skin around your eyes is usually the first to show signs of ageing.

No matter how much you spend on eye creams, silk pillowcases, and other cosmetic boosters, you cannot prevent wrinkles, undereye bags, dark under-eye circles, and thinning skin around the eyes.

In fact, ageing around the eyes can start showing as early as your 30s.

There are a few eye rejuvenation techniques that you can use to treat this.

What’s particularly interesting is that those same treatments have been taking on other uses, like reshaping the eye area.

Skin Renewal broke down the three most popular eye reshaping treatments requested.

Almond/Oval/Doe Eye Look

What is it?

People with classic almond or oval shaped eyes (also known as ‘doe eyes’) have a natural upward lift at the outer corners. Because of this lift, the lower eyelid appears somewhat longer than the upper eyelid. This also allows the eye to appear more open.

How does it work?

A tiny amount of Botulinum is injected into the centre of the lower lash line at the point of the orbicularis oculi muscle to create a widening of the eye. This is what gives the eye a more oval or almond shape.

Fox Eye Look

What is it?

Fox eye lifts are designed to lift up the outer corners of your eyes and pull them slightly outwards and upwards. Changing the shape of your eyes to make them look “foxier” gives you a more youthful appearance.

How does it work?

This treatment involves an innovative technique that uses threads to lift and elongate the eye to create an almond shape, whilst simultaneously lifting the brow tail to create a more open upper eyelid, resulting in the fox eye look.

Cat Eye Look

What is it?

The eyelids tilt upward, giving the eye a slightly slanted appearance. The bottom lash line curves upward to meet the top lashes at the outer corner of the eye.

How does it work?

Commonly known as cat eye surgery or cat eye lift surgery, canthoplasty is a delicate cosmetic procedure that aims to lengthen or elongate the eye-opening. Going the surgical route can give one quite a dramatic cat eye look.

The non-surgical option using PDO and anchor threads is a bit more subtle, but can still achieve fantastic results.

You can read more about the procedures, downtime, and other important information on the Skin Renewal website.

Alternatively, make an appointment with one of the Skin Renewal doctors who can talk you through the procedures so that you can find the one that’s right for you, giving you the most natural-looking results.
