4 DIY PROTOCOLS - $ to $$$$
Bargain vs. Splurge EYE TREATMENT PROTOCOLS (DIY) EYE REJUVENATION / De-puff / brighten / tone
These will give you the simple protocols to follow to help your own issues around the eye area:
Need to BRIGHTEN? See protocol $ - $$
Need to FIRM & LIFT? See protocol $$ - $$$
Need a QUICK de-puffing? See protocol $
$ Protocol: Cheap, easy, fast
Jade Gua Sha or roller - use around eye area AM and PM to reduce lymph deposits (puffiness/bags)
Apply 24K gold eye masks for about 5-15 minutes - I always travel with a pair of these. They are great for a quick boost of hydration/brightening!
Follow with Neogensis Eye serum (AM or PM) Expurtise Anti-Aging Eye Serum (AM)
My personal protocol for the AM: Apply SupremeFirm serum or Vitamin C with Cica Peptide (mix it or layer it and apply), then do a 5-minute Gua Sha treatment over face, neck/dec, around eyes and mouth and each arm.
I can’t tell you how much this simple little 5 minute treatment has helped my face and body look less puffy (reduce lymph and fluid retention) and also helps reduce tight fascia. Love, love, love this tool!
$$ Protocol: Easy, fairly inexpensive, visible and instant results
Use Galvania + Gold Eye Cream to reduce puffiness, instantly smooth and brighten eye area (AM)
For longer-term results, the addition of LED therapy (red for collagen boosting / green for brightening) can be an excellent choice for skincare. I use LED therapy at least 3x weekly and I’ve seen really great results since doing this for the past few years.
You can choose a LED tool - be sure it’s truly LED and not just colored lights! These cheaper, less stable tools often just have red or colored lights and not true LED therapy waves. You can target your treatment by holding an LED tool like this one in place for 3 minutes per area for the best results.
A good quality multi-function tool, like the MY SKIN BUDDY, has toning as well as light therapy. You can also use this tool without the LED to really target the eye area (always be careful to use googles when using LED therapy around the eyes).
“One of my new favorite tools! I reach for this for a fast LED treatment and toning - the vibration is what makes it a great toning device for instant firming treatments. It can be used over any serum or tightening gel.”
For full-face LED, you cannot beat a good quality LED mask - easy and efficient treatments for mutliple uses (brightening, collagen boost, clearing/soothing).
$$$ Protocol: A little pricier, but well-worth the investment
Use the MBK Eye/Lip Smoother AM & PM - it warms and smooths and prods muscles back into place (lifting sagging lids) with gentle microcurrent. Use with a dab of conductive gel.
You can also use your Clareblend Mini - see this video for feathering technique and lifting with microcurrent.
Finish with a volumizing eye cream, like HOP+ Eye Serum, to help replace lost volume under eyes -OR- use the Expurtise Anti Aging Eye Serum (it has an instant brightening component to help eye area look less dull).
$$$$ Protocol: More expensive but long-lasting, real results
For truly lasting results, work with a good-quality radio frequency tool. This will not only provide long-term results by tightening and toning the skin, it will help help immediate hydrate and help the skin look firm. Best results are seen with a weekly use protocol of 2-3x weekly for 60 days.
Radio frequency will help tighten the skin by contracting the collagen fibers. It will help add density (volume/thickness) to thinning skin and it will stimulate the growth of new collagen.
Choose a high-quality hand-held device like the MBK RF SIGNAL - this brand is consistently a winner with clients and customers because it’s very well-made, lasts through years of careful use and is easy to use providing visible results.
You can also use an RF device to help:
Tighten jawline
Firm and tone body areas
Smooth and firm the mouth area
My Esthetician Notes:
I can personally attest that I use ALL of these protocols, depending upon needs, and they work very well!
I use the Gua Sha every day (all over face, neck, dec, eye area and my arms) This is an instrumental tool for quick and easy lymph reduction and helps really smooth and reduce puffiness.
When my eyes are super tired and need a boost, the Galvania never fails. It has an eye cream that has gold flecks in it and they instantly help brighten the eye area. The tool itself it a no-brainer to use - no plugs or charging - just apply the cream around the eye and then use the tool. It instantly vibrates and smooths lines/wrinkles and help de-puff the area.
The microcurrent is a NEVER FAIL way to help really lift/tone drooping lids and make the eyes look more wide open. I use the MBK Eye/Lip Smoother for a fast and really relaxing treatment. It really nice to use at night as it warms slightly and provides a soothing treatment.
When I need a good lift, I always turn to the Clareblend Mini. Use it with a little conductive gel and then after your treatment, apply your favorite eye cream. I like the HOP+ eye cream or Expurtise Anti-Aging Eye serum - they are both great for my personal needs (replacing volume in under-eye area (HOP+) and also brightening the entire area (ExPurtise).
I love to combine a microcurrent with a Time Master Pro (ultrasound) or My Skin Buddy (toning/LED) treatment if I have the time. A great well-rounded lifting/toning/brightening/collagen boosting treatment in about 15 minutes!
If you have crepey or a lined eye area, the Neogenesis Eye Serum is a customer favorite - it really helps rejuvenate the tissue and bring a more youthful look to wrinkled or sun-damaged skin. Also, add RF, like the ZAQ or RF SIGNAL; radio frequency can help really firm, smooth and reduce crepey skin around the eyes.
