Welcome to Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic
The area beneath the eyes is one of the first regions people notice, and when it displays dark circles, hollowness, puffiness or fine lines, it can make individuals look tired, older or fatigued, even if they’re well rested. Under-eye treatments matter not just for cosmetic motives, but for restoring a more youthful, rested and refreshed look that reflects how people feel inside.
Additionally, many under-eye concerns, such as volume loss, pigment, poor circulation, or skin thinning cannot be sufficiently addressed with standard skincare alone. That’s why targeted, professional treatments are often required to achieve meaningful improvement. By addressing these concerns, under-eye treatments can not only improve appearance but also help even out facial harmony, brighten the face, and help one look more awake and energetic.
At Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic, we provide multiple treatments that help to address under eye concerns. Contact us today to find out how we can help the area under your eyes.
Some of the most common under eye concerns include the following:
Dark under-eye circles can stem from a mix of causes, from thinning skin that reveals vessels beneath, pigmentation, poor circulation or shadowing from hollowness. As we age, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner and loses some of its fat and collagen support, making blood vessels more visible and darkening the area.
Under-eye puffiness or “bags” are often caused when the tissues and muscles supporting the lower eyelid weaken over time. Fat that usually cushions the eye area can shift forward, and fluid may collect beneath the eyes. Changes in tissue, muscle laxity, weakened support structures or fluid retention, often exacerbated by age or lifestyle, can all contribute to this sagging or bulging appearance.
The “tear trough” is a groove that sits between the lower eyelid and the cheek. Due to loss of fat, volume, and collagen, over time this area can sink or hollow out, causing a shadow or depression that emphasises dark circles and gives a sunken, tired appearance.
Because the skin under the eyes is among the thinnest on the face and lacks substantial fat or oil gland support, it is especially vulnerable to collagen and elastin loss. As collagen and elastin diminish with age, the skin loses elasticity, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Repeated facial expressions (like smiling, squinting) can also accentuate these lines over time.
Having a 1-on-1 consultation with our leading doctor will help to assess which concern you may have and which treatment would be most recommended.
When it comes to under-eye cosmetic treatments, they are generally low-risk and well-tolerated when performed by a qualified medical professional. However, it’s important to be informed about potential risks, side-effects and what we do to minimise them.
After under-eye treatments, you may experience minor and temporary reactions that are part of a normal healing response:

At Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we are dedicated to answering any questions you have around under eye management and treatment with an experienced Medical Practitioner and helping you to make an informed decision.
If you’re unsure of which procedure you need to treat the areas under the eyes, a 1-0n-1 consultation with our head doctor will provide you with a tailored treatment plan based on your concern. Here is the process of what you can expect when visiting Ashbrooke:
Your experience begins with a detailed consultation with our qualified doctors. During this appointment, we will discuss your concerns under and around your eyes, and potential ongoing skincare needs. They will assess your concerns and determine the best treatment option for you. Realistic expectations are also provided for each treatment.
The treatment process, while they vary, mostly follow a similar pattern. The typical process starts with cleansing and exfoliation to prepare the skin.
Then depending on the chosen procedure, specific treatment steps are then followed to ensure a safe, effective and comfortable experience for the patient.
Post-treatment, you can typically resume your daily activities. Following any aftercare guidelines, such as using sunscreen and avoiding massaging and rubbing the eyes for a few days. Certain skincare routine may be advised by our team.
While each treatment will require specific aftercare, below you can see what you can generally expect after under eye treament:
Do’s
Use gentle skincare products, and apply sunscreen daily to protect the skin under the eyes.
Use cold compresses or gentle iced pads if there is swelling or bruising during the first 24–48 hours.
Maintain hydration, good sleep, balanced diet, and avoid excessive alcohol or salt, as fluid retention, dehydration, or inflammation can worsen puffiness or dark circles even after treatment.
Return for maintenance appointments if using fillers or skin-boosting treatments to ensure sustained, natural-looking results and prevent irregularities or volume loss over time.
Don’ts
Don’t massage, rub or apply strong pressure to the treated, under-eye area for at least a few days after treatment, as this can disturb filler placement or disrupt healing.
Avoid heavy alcohol intake, smoking, or high-salt meals immediately after treatment, as these can exacerbate swelling, fluid retention, or vascular prominence.
Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, or aggressive exfoliation/peels near the eyes until skin is fully healed, since the skin under the eyes is especially vulnerable.
Don’t expect dramatic results from a single treatment if multiple factors (volume loss, pigmentation, vascular or lifestyle) contribute to under-eye concerns. A comprehensive, multi-modal approach may be required for optimal outcome.
We find that ideal candidates are those with the following:
Concerned with cosmetic concerns rather than active medical issue.
Who recognise the need for a plan and ongoing maintenance.
Have realistic expectations and commitment to sun protection.
During the consultation we assess your the skin around and below the eye area and together determine the suitability of treatment, and map out a safe, effective plan.
The cost of under eye treatments may vary depending on individual treatment requirements and the procedure you choose. There is no one size fits all cost as some of the procedures are customised to your needs.
During your 1-on-1 consultation, you will be provided with a tailored quote which takes into account your needs and best recommended under eye treatment. If necessary, the doctor may provide payment plan options.

If you have any more questions about Vaser® Liposuction in Sydney or any of our services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today.
VASER® technology provides an alternative to conventional liposuction, designed with advanced techniques to target specific areas of fat removal. This approach enables both larger areas and more delicate regions to be treated with accuracy.
By employing ultrasound technology, it addresses specific fat deposits. This method is designed to liquefy fat cells, potentially resulting in reduced discomfort and recovery time compared to traditional liposuction.
Following VASER liposuction, patients may experience manageable pain. Some swelling, bruising, and occasional numbness in the treated area can be expected, with these effects typically subsiding within 5-6 weeks. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities or work within a few days, but individual recovery times may vary.
VASER liposuction may not be suitable for everyone, and it’s important to undergo a thorough consultation with a qualified cosmetic physician to determine if the procedure is appropriate for your individual needs and goals. Candidates for the procedure should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results.
The cost of VASER liposuction can vary depending on the specific areas being treated, the amount of fat being removed, the cosmetic physician fees and the hospital fees. In Australia, the average cost of VASER liposuction starts from $4,000 and can go up to $10,000 per case.
We recommend that you book an initial consultation with us where we’ll be able to give you an accurate cost based on your treatment plan.
VASER liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to achieve long-term weight loss goals. The procedure is best suited for removing small to moderate amounts of localised fat deposits.
VASER liposuction may provide enhanced skin tightening effects compared to traditional liposuction, as the ultrasound energy applied during the procedure stimulates collagen production. The extent of skin tightening, however, can depend on individual factors such as skin elasticity and the volume of fat removed.
The length of a Vaser Liposuction procedure varies depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Typically, the procedure can be completed in a few hours or less.
The amount of downtime required after a Vaser Liposuction procedure varies depending on the size and number of areas treated. Generally, patients can expect to take a few days to a week off from work or other activities to rest and recover.
Most patients will begin to see the results of their Vaser Liposuction procedure within a few weeks after the procedure, with full results becoming apparent within a few months.
No, Vaser Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise after the procedure to maintain the results.
