Oculofacial treatments help revitalize the eyes and harmonize facial features, giving the face a fresher and more rested appearance.

At the Oculofacial Aesthetics Unit, we offer a wide range of treatments aimed at improving skin quality, rejuvenating the eyes, and restoring facial harmony. All procedures are performed by oculoplastic surgeons and aesthetic specialists, professionals with an in-depth knowledge of the ocular and periocular anatomy, which provides a high level of safety and precision in such a particularly delicate area.

With the passage of time, wrinkles, loss of firmness, spots, dark circles, and more pronounced grooves begin to appear. To address these signs of ageing, the centre offers personalised treatments such as hyaluronic acid fillers, which restore volume and soften lines, and botulinum toxin, indicated to relax expression wrinkles and achieve a more relaxed and natural look.

To improve the overall quality of the skin and treat enlarged pores, acne marks, or uneven texture, techniques such as mesotherapy, microneedling, and various medical peels are applied. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photorejuvenation helps even out skin tone and reduce redness, while Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration processes.

When the eyelids show more advanced signs of ageing, such as excess skin, laxity, or bags under the eyes, surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty may be performed to remove excess skin and fat. Likewise, CO2 laser techniques, such as laser blepharoplasty or facial and eyelid resurfacing, allow for more precise incisions and promote skin tightening. The fact that these procedures are carried out by oculoplastic surgeons guarantees a specialised, safe approach that respects both eyelid function and eye protection.

Each treatment begins with a detailed assessment of the patient’s facial anatomy and expectations. The aim is to enhance natural beauty without altering expression, always prioritising harmonious, safe, and personalised results. Thanks to the combination of medical expertise and advanced technology, Barraquer’s Aesthetics Unit offers comprehensive, top-quality care in the aesthetic and functional treatment of the eyes.
