Under-Eye Hollows: What Are Your Best Treatment Options?

You’ve slept well and feel energized, yet people keep asking if you’re OK or whether you feel tired or sick. That’s the impact under-eye hollows and dark circles can have on your appearance — robbing you of youthful vitality.

Thankfully, the Skin Shop MedSpa team, including Dr. Tiffany Su and Dr. Hui “He” Kang, offers effective ways to transform tired, aging under-eye areas and help them shine again. 

Aging around your eyes

To better understand how effective an under-eye treatment is, it’s helpful to know what we’re up against. While some people are born with naturally hollowed-out under-eye areas and dark circles, these conditions most often develop over time.

As you age and your skin loses elasticity and tone, the skin under your eyes can become thin, wrinkle, and sag. Thinning skin allows more blood vessels to show through, causing darker under-eye areas.

At the same time, the thin layer of fat under your eyes shifts and migrates, giving you a more hollowed-out or lumpier appearance. When the areas under your eyes form peaks and valleys, which are also called tear troughs, shadows can form that create dark circles.

Rejuvenating aging eyes

With a better idea of why your under-eye area looks shadowy and tired, we can explore more productive directions. Here are some ways we can revitalize your eyes to make you look more energetic, vibrant, and youthful:

Ariessence®

Thinning skin creates under-eye hollows; we offer treatments that support healthier skin, such as Ariessence® pure PDGF+, which is a collagen peptide therapy that delivers platelet-derived growth factors and hyaluronic acid to support cellular renewal and collagen regeneration. 

Rejuran®

Another way we revitalize the aging skin under your eyes is through Rejuran, which contains polydeoxyribonucleotide, a naturally sourced salmon sperm DNA. This ingredient has been well-studied and promotes skin regeneration by accelerating healing and repair.

Radiofrequency microneedling with Sylfirm X®

Another approach for problematic under-eye areas is microneedling with Sylfirm X. With this treatment, we make tiny microchannels in the skin under your eyes to elicit a regenerative response that tightens and rebuilds the skin. The needles also deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper tissues to amplify the regenerative response and tighten the skin through coagulation.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers, the number two minimally invasive cosmetic treatment in the United States, are a frontline treatment for hollowed-out under-eye areas. By adding volume to your under-eye areas, we can smooth the skin and reduce shadows that take attention from your eyes.
