We frequently see clients who are frustrated by tired-looking eyes caused by dark circles and under-eye hollows. Whether due to aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors, this common concern can affect your overall appearance and confidence. Fortunately, we offer several non-surgical treatments to restore a brighter, more refreshed look.
What Are Dark Circles and Hollows?
- Dark circles refer to pigmentation or shadowing under the eyes that creates a tired or sunken appearance.
- Under-eye hollows occur when there is volume loss in the tear trough area, often revealing the underlying bone structure.
Many people experience both concerns together.
Common Causes
- Genetics – Family history of thin skin, pigmentation, or deep tear troughs
- Aging – Volume loss, thinning skin, and reduced collagen contribute to hollowing and shadowing
- Lack of Sleep or Fatigue – Can lead to blood pooling and increased visibility of vessels under the eyes
- Allergies – Chronic rubbing and congestion may worsen pigmentation
- Sun Damage – UV exposure can cause pigmentation and skin thinning
Prevention Tips
- Get consistent, quality sleep
- Use broad-spectrum SPF and wear sunglasses outdoors
- Avoid rubbing your eyes or using harsh eye products
- Hydrate regularly and maintain a healthy diet
- Use medical-grade skincare products that support skin health and collagen productio
