Alternative Techniques for Oculofacial Rejuvenation

Dull and tired skin can characterise all ages, hence oculofacial rejuvenation is increasingly requested by patients of all age groups. Beautiful skin—characterised by its radiance, its healthy appearance, density, firmness and elasticity—can be achieved by various aspects of aesthetic medicine. Cosmetic medicine is constantly evolving, developing new techniques and modalities, aiming to preserve the cutaneous structures (fibroblasts, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin), and the skin’s youthfulness. Such techniques will be analysed in this chapter, and include radiofrequency, mesotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound, microneedling, chemical peeling, ablative resurfacing, light-emitting diodes, plasma blepharoplasty.
