Our previous blog post identified the importance of using eye cream/serum and how to choose the correct eye cream to target your concern. Before we start, let me share a little more about eye treatments with you.
An eye treatment helps the area around your eyes achieve a more lifted, hydrated look through massage techniques and devices. There are a few types of treatments out there, such as:
1. RF Eye Treatment
It uses pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate blood circulation around the eye area and drain toxins. This treatment provides instant results after one session and is usually used to address concerns such as fine lines, a dehydrated eye area, and dark circles.
2. Ultrasound Eye Treatment
It uses high-frequency devices between 800,000 Hz and 2,000,000 Hz to aid in collagen formation and toxin drainage. You will experience a low vibration to assist deeper penetration of the eye cream applied to the Dermis layer. This treatment is usually used to tackle women concerned about lifting the eye area.
3. Traditional Japanese Eye Treatment
This treatment requires no device or machine. It is the traditional way for the beautician to focus on massage techniques to stimulate blood circulation and drain toxins. This would be perfect for women who are not into using machines or devices to treat their eyes. This type of treatment is usually performed alongside a facial session to provide a holistic pampering experience.
Let’s now compare the three treatments.

Important: Getting a consultation before any treatments you have done on your face is essential to help the beautician better understand your areas of concern and what you aim to achieve.
So, which is more important, eye cream/serum vs. eye treatment? The answer would be that both are equally important. Both work hand in hand to help you achieve an even better result, so you won’t have to worry about concealing your dark circles.
