The crow's feet at the outer corner and the crepey skin below the eye are treated with the Precise applicator. The manufacturer describes this smaller handpiece as made for the challenging areas around the eyes, mouth and chin. It carries the Lift applicator's clearances and has no clinical study of its own, which we say plainly. It heats the dermis around the eye with the surface cooled, on the bone and not the lid, so the skin contracts and builds collagen over three months. One session, from £799 as part of the face, at Sofwave Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does around the eyes
In our experience, crow's feet soften and the crepey skin below the eye tightens as the dermis rebuilds, and the brow lift above opens the eye. A hooded lid with excess skin, a bag of fat or a dark circle needs a different route, and the clinician says at the free consultation which fits.
What the evidence covers
The Precise applicator carries the Lift applicator's clearances, to improve facial lines and wrinkles and to lift the eyebrow, and no study measures the eye area alone. The brow and eyes page sets out the brow study, which treated the forehead and temples beside the eyes.
The session and the result
Numbing cream for 45 to 60 minutes, eye shields on, then a few minutes around each eye within a face session. Redness for a few hours and mild swelling up to a day, a little more visible around the eyes in our experience. The change shows from six to eight weeks and peaks at three months, when we take the after photograph, and in our experience it holds for around a year.
