I saw my friend Ivan for the first time in ages yesterday. I was horrified to find huge eyebags under his eyes! I don't remember him ever having any problems in that area before. The skin also looked a little dark and water-logged. I was just about to convince him into a little bit of Botox when I remembered that I had a new eyebag treatment.
The new eye mask, in conjunction with Aesthetic Dermal's Meso-K Arnica Solution is primarily used for reducing dark eye circles. The Vitamin K helps to strengthen the blood vessels in the eye area. Leakage in weak blood vessels causes the deposition of pigmentation in the delicate under-eye area, hence dark eye circles.
The treatment is pretty straightforward: 3 drops of Meso-K Arnica solution is massaged under each eye. The mask is applied and moistened with toner. It is left on for 15 minutes before the mask is massaged into the under-eye area.
One hiccup: when the 15 minutes was up, I was the only one free! And I can't massage to save my life, let alone do any fancy lymphatic drainage movements. So poor old Ivan had me rubbing this stuff into his face, until Cha took over. Now Cha's a nurse by training, so although more gentle with facial massage, equally clueless about lymphatic drainage.
After about 10 minutes, the sheet mask turned sticky goop was pretty much all absorbed. We had to wipe off some of the residue so Ivan could open his eyes and see, but otherwise it went pretty smoothly for our little play.
Ivan's eyes looked brighter straightaway. Less puffy. This was even more obvious half an hour later. I have no idea how long the results will last. He didn't get a bottle of Meso-K Arnica to continue the treatment at home. So his results won't be maximised by any means. I guess if he likes it, he could purchase a full kit for home use. These are available by pre-order only as we don't hold any stock at the moment.
I'd say that this was a successful trial of a new product. The dark circles were certainly less apparent, and the puffiness totally gone. Bye bye eyebags! This service will be available at both Simply Aesthetic & Divine MedSpa once we finalise the price.
