Under-eye hollows and dark circles are one of the most common concerns patients bring to WellMedica. They can make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel, even when you are well-rested. Genetics, thinning skin, loss of volume, and changes in the fat pads that naturally occur with age causes these changes. Fortunately, there are safe and effective treatment options that restores, refreshes, and gives youthful appearance.
Why Under-Eye Hollows Happen
Volume Loss: As we age, fat and collagen beneath the eyes decreases, creating a hollow or sunken look.
Thinning Skin: Skin under the eyes is already delicate and can become even thinner with age, making blood vessels more visible.
Shadowing: Loss of midface volume or sagging cheeks can cast shadows that exaggerate dark circles.
Genetics: For some people, hollowness and pigmentation under the eyes run in the family.
Treatment Options
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be carefully placed to replace lost volume under the eyes, smoothing the transition from eyelid to cheek. Results are immediate and can last up to a year or more when performed by an experienced injector.
A natural option that uses your body’s own growth factors to improve skin quality and stimulate collagen. PRF helps with fine lines, crepey texture, and mild hollowness, and results improve gradually over several weeks.
Treatments like Venus Viva MD™ or ThermiSmooth® tighten skin, improve elasticity, and stimulate new collagen production. These devices are especially helpful when hollowness is combined with skin laxity or texture concerns.
If dark circles are more about pigmentation than volume loss, laser treatments can help even out skin tone and reduce discoloration. UltraClear® is one of the most advanced options, targeting both pigmentation and texture for a brighter, smoother under-eye appearance with minimal downtime.
Medical-grade eye creams with ingredients like retinol, peptides, and antioxidants can strengthen the skin and enhance in-office results. Daily sunscreen is essential to protect this delicate area.
