Microneedle Eye Patches by VELLA®

Each patch contains 2,000+ crystallized serum microneedles made of hyaluronic acid and peptides. When you apply the patch, these tiny needles penetrate your skin's protective barrier (which blocks molecules larger than 500 Daltons—including most eye creams).

Within 2 hours, the microneedles dissolve completely beneath your skin's surface, releasing 100% of their active ingredients exactly where hollows and wrinkles form. This is why they work when creams don't—they physically bypass the barrier instead of sitting uselessly on top.

You'll feel a mild prickling or tingling sensation when you first apply the patches—this is actually proof they're working. It means the microneedles are penetrating your skin barrier to deliver actives beneath the surface.

The sensation is brief (most people describe it as "satisfying" rather than painful) and fades within 5-10 minutes as the needles begin dissolving. If you don't feel anything, it might mean the patch isn't making full contact with your skin. No prickle = no penetration = no results.

No! The microneedles are made entirely of crystallized actives (hyaluronic acid, peptides, caffeine)—not metal or plastic. They dissolve completely within 2 hours of application, leaving absolutely zero foreign materials in your skin.

Think of them as "solid serum" that melts once it reaches the moisture-rich environment beneath your skin barrier. By morning, they've delivered their payload and disappeared entirely. No residue, no waste, no risk.

Most women notice visibly plumper, brighter under-eyes the very first morning after use. However, these are temporary results that improve with consistency.

Timeline:
After 1 use: Immediate plumping and brightness (lasts 1-2 days)
After 2-3 weeks (2-3x weekly): Noticeable reduction in hollows and dark circles
After 4-6 weeks: Improved "baseline" texture and tone you can maintain

This isn't a permanent miracle—it's maintenance. Use 2-3x weekly to keep your under-eyes looking their best.

For best results: 2-3 times per week for ongoing maintenance.

For special events: Apply the night before any high-stakes situation (interview, wedding, presentation) for maximum plumping.

Can I use them nightly? Yes, they're safe for daily use, but most women find 2-3x weekly is sufficient to maintain their baseline. You can always increase frequency if needed.

Yes. The microneedles are made from biocompatible ingredients (hyaluronic acid, peptides) that are gentle and dermatologist-approved. We've eliminated harsh chemicals, parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances.

However: If you have active eczema, open wounds, or severe rosacea in the under-eye area, consult your dermatologist before use. The micro-penetration could irritate compromised skin.

For sensitive skin types, start with 1-2 uses per week and monitor how your skin responds.

Your eye cream can't work—and it's not your fault.

Skin is designed to block molecules larger than 500 Daltons. Standard hyaluronic acid is 300,000+ Daltons. Even the most expensive creams sit on your skin's surface until they evaporate or get washed off. They can hydrate the top layer, but they can't reach the dermis where hollows and structural wrinkles form.

Microneedles physically bypass this barrier, delivering actives beneath the surface where they can actually create volume and stimulate collagen. It's not better ingredients—it's better delivery.

Microneedle patches eliminate the risks associated with injectable fillers:

No needles in your skin – The "needles" are crystallized serum, not syringes
No migration risk – Actives dissolve and integrate; they can't move or create lumps
No blindness risk – No injections near delicate blood vessels
No downtime – Use overnight, wake up refreshed (no bruising or swelling)
Fully reversible – Effects are temporary; nothing permanent is injected

If you're scared of filler complications but frustrated with cream ineffectiveness, this is your safe middle ground.

Yes, but timing matters:

Before applying patches: Cleanse thoroughly and ensure skin is completely dry. Oil, moisture, or serums will block microneedle penetration.

After removing patches: Apply your regular serums, moisturizers, and eye creams as usual. The micro-channels created by the needles may actually help your other products penetrate better.

Avoid: Retinol or acids on the same night (could cause irritation). Use patches on "off nights" from active treatments.
