Who it’s for

  • Whether fine lines and texture are the main concern, the extent of the under-eye lines for HA-based HILO WAVE, and any tendency to puffiness
  • HILO WAVE and SKINVIVE both use HA, but differ in formulation and intended use. HA content alone does not establish superiority or duration. Under-eye darkness may involve hollows, protruding fat, pigmentation or skin quality. Product instructions, eyelid function and previous treatments guide suitability.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.
