Tired eyes come from several things at once: fine lines, crepey lower-lid texture, mild laxity, and dull tone. The SOM Eye Lift addresses them together with Tixel gentle resurfacing, SylfirmX peri-orbital tightening, and in-office exosome support, plus take-home eye care.
A dermatologist-trained SOM provider designs the exact combination and sequence so your eyes look rested and natural. The eye area is delicate, so every step is gentle and precise.

Across one or two short visits, a dermatologist-trained SOM provider combines treatments around the eyes, such as upper-face Botox, under-eye filler, and Sylfirm X, to brighten and lift without surgery. Each step takes 15 to 30 minutes; you will feel light pressure or pinches.

• 15–30 minutes each step
• Botox + filler + RF combined
• Non-surgical brightening/lift
• Light pressure or pinches

Expect mild swelling or possible bruising around the eyes for a few days; cold compresses and sleeping elevated help. Avoid rubbing and strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours, and use SPF. The refreshed, lifted look settles over 1 to 2 weeks.

The SOM Eye Lift is a non-surgical plan for selected skin-quality or mild laxity concerns around the eyes. It does not remove eyelid skin or fat like blepharoplasty, so significant hooding or eye bags may require another approach.
The eye area requires careful assessment. Resurfacing and RF microneedling can cause swelling, irritation, pigment changes, burns, or scarring; risks depend on the device, settings, anatomy, and medical history. Discuss the exact procedures, eye protection, expected recovery, and alternatives with your SOM provider. Conservative treatment does not eliminate the possibility of complications.
The duration of a non-surgical eye-lift result depends on the exact procedures, skin quality, and response. Changes can develop gradually, but maintenance or an exosome add-on does not guarantee lasting tightening or renewal.
Eye-area procedures can cause swelling, redness, irritation, and bruising, with recovery depending on the treatment depth and method. Plan around your provider’s procedure-specific guidance rather than assuming only brief swelling or no social downtime.
Dark circles can arise from pigment, visible vessels, thin skin, hollows, or puffiness, so no single eye-lift plan treats every cause. SOM assesses the cause before recommending skin treatment, an injectable, another option, or no procedure.
Pricing is plan-based and confirmed in consultation, depending on which treatments your eyes need.
