Why Combining PhilArt Eye with IPL or Excel V Delivers Better Results Than Treating Either Alone

Great skin is about more than treating a single concern
One of the most common mistakes we see is treating one aspect of facial ageing while overlooking another.
Patients often seek treatment for redness, pigmentation or sun damage across the face and achieve excellent results. However, the delicate skin around the eyes continues to show fine lines, crepiness and loss of elasticity, leaving the rejuvenation feeling incomplete.
The most natural looking results come from treating the face as a whole, while recognising that different areas of the face age differently and therefore require different treatment approaches.

Two treatments. Two different roles. One comprehensive result.
IPL and Excel V improve the appearance of the skin by targeting redness, pigmentation, sun damage and visible blood vessels.
PhilArt Eye addresses something entirely different. Specifically formulated for the delicate under eye area, it improves skin quality by stimulating collagen production, enhancing hydration and restoring elasticity. Unlike dermal fillers, it does not add volume or alter facial contours. Instead, it strengthens and rejuvenates the skin itself.
Because these treatments work through different mechanisms, they complement one another rather than compete. One improves the complexion, while the other restores the quality of the under eye skin, creating a fresher, brighter and more balanced overall result.
Why the under eye area deserves its own treatment
The skin around the eyes is unique. It is the thinnest skin on the body, contains less collagen and fewer oil glands than the rest of the face, and is one of the first areas to develop fine lines, crepiness and visible signs of fatigue.
For these reasons, treatments designed for the face are not always the most appropriate choice around the eyes. PhilArt Eye was specifically developed for this delicate anatomical area, delivering regenerative benefits without adding volume.
What does combination treatment involve?
Every treatment plan begins with a detailed consultation. We assess your skin, discuss your concerns and recommend the combination of treatments most likely to achieve your goals.
Some patients may benefit from treating the face and under eye area during the same visit, while others achieve the best results by spacing treatments over several appointments. Your treatment plan is tailored to your skin, your lifestyle and your desired recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need both treatments on the same day?
Not necessarily. Some patients choose to combine treatments during a single visit, while others prefer to space them apart. We will recommend the approach that best suits your skin and your schedule.
Will combining treatments increase downtime?
Not significantly. Downtime depends on the treatments performed and the areas treated. During your consultation, we will explain exactly what to expect and help you plan treatment around work, social events and holidays.
Is combination treatment suitable if I have never had aesthetic treatment before?
Absolutely. Many patients begin with combination treatment because it addresses multiple concerns in a coordinated way. Every recommendation is tailored to your skin following a comprehensive consultation.
