The skin beneath your eyes is some of the thinnest and most delicate on your face. Because it’s so thin, even small changes in volume, pigmentation, or skin elasticity can become noticeable.
At Love Your Body Medical Spa in Las Vegas, many of our patients say the same thing: They feel great, but their under-eye area makes them look tired, stressed, or older than they feel. Fortunately, Divina Averilla, MD, offers a range of modern aesthetic treatments that can help restore a refreshed appearance without surgery.
Understanding what causes these under-eye concerns is the first step toward choosing the right treatment.
Several factors can affect the appearance of your under-eye area. It’s usually a combination of aging, lifestyle, and genetics.
As you age, the skin around your eyes becomes thinner and loses elasticity. The muscles and tissues supporting your eyelids gradually weaken, allowing fat to shift forward and create puffiness or bags under the eyes.
At the same time, your face naturally loses volume. When this happens beneath your eyes, it can create hollow areas called tear troughs that cast shadows and make dark circles appear more noticeable.
Some people are simply more prone to under-eye circles because of genetics or facial structure. Dark circles can run in families, and bone structure may naturally create shadows beneath the eyes.
Certain habits and environmental factors can make your under-eye area look more tired than it actually is. Common contributors include:
These factors can affect the circulation and pigmentation in the delicate skin under your eyes, making dark circles more visible.
Because the under-eye skin is so thin, blood vessels beneath the surface can sometimes show through, creating a bluish or dark appearance. This effect often becomes more noticeable as skin loses collagen with age.
One of the most effective ways to improve the appearance of tired-looking eyes is by restoring lost volume. Dermal fillers can gently smooth hollow areas beneath your eyes and soften shadows that create the look of dark circles.
At Love Your Body Medical Spa, we use Juvéderm fillers for this purpose. Juvéderm products contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that your body naturally produces and helps your skin maintain hydration and structure.
When carefully injected into the under-eye area, the filler restores subtle volume and smooths the transition between your lower eyelids and cheeks.
The result is a softer, brighter, more refreshed appearance.
Certain fillers are designed specifically for delicate areas of the face.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is FDA-approved to improve the appearance of under-eye hollows in adults over age 21.
By restoring volume in the tear trough area, this type of filler can:
If you’re like the rest of our patients, you’ll notice that your under-eye area looks less tired after your Juvéderm session.
