Under Eye Darkness & Hollows
Condition Overview
Dark circles and under-eye hollows can make the face appear tired, aged, and less vibrant. These concerns are often caused by thinning skin, loss of volume, genetics, poor circulation, or pigmentation irregularities. Since the under-eye area is delicate and prone to aging, it requires specialized treatments that restore volume, improve skin quality, and enhance brightness without looking overdone.
At The Face Institute, we offer cutting-edge, non-surgical solutions to correct dark circles and hollows, giving the eyes a refreshed and youthful appearance. Our approach includes injectables, collagen-stimulating therapies, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare to address both structural volume loss and pigmentation concerns.
Understanding Under Eye Darkness & Hollows
The appearance of dark circles and hollows is influenced by several factors:
- Loss of collagen and fat in the tear trough area, leading to a sunken appearance
- Thin skin under the eyes, making underlying blood vessels more visible
- Hyperpigmentation due to genetics, sun exposure, or post-inflammatory responses
- Poor circulation, resulting in fluid retention and a shadowed look
- Lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep, dehydration, and stress
Since different factors contribute to under-eye concerns, a combination of volume restoration, skin brightening, and circulation improvement is often the most effective solution.
