What can you do for tired-looking eyes? 🤔 Top

What can you do for tired-looking eyes? 🤔

Top eye surgeon and aesthetic doctor @dr_elizabethhawkes stopped by the GTG offices to tell us how to perk up hooded eyes, eye bags and dark circles, from skincare to tweakments 👀

- Retinol at night for lines and wrinkles
- SPF daily to help stop new lines forming
- Top tweakments include dermal fillers, polynucleotides and platelet-rich plasma
- A non-surgical brow lift using anti-wrinkle injections to raise the height of your eyebrow
- A surgical upper eye lift (blepharoplasty)

Thanks @dr_elizabethhawkes 🙌
