-
Eyelids and under-eye area:

Lips and perioral area (around the mouth):

In these areas, the skin has adequate thickness and support to safely and effectively receive the biostimulator.
Why Does This Restriction Exist?
The reason why biostimulators are not applied to certain areas is related to factors such as:

Skin thickness: Very thin areas facilitate the formation of irregularities;

Anatomical risk: Proximity to blood vessels and delicate structures increases the chance of complications.
Therefore, the decision is not arbitrary — it is based on anatomy, safety and better aesthetic results.
