Eye rejuvenation treatments-what is available?
How do we age around the eyes?
Fine wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes begin in the fourth decade of life. Genetic, hormone, and environmental stresses all contribute to facial aging.
Aged skin produces less collagen, resulting in skin laxity and wrinkles. UV light exposure causes photoaging, resulting in rough, wrinkled skin. At a more advanced stage, people can develop early skin cancer, redness, and red vessels on the face.
Additional ageing signs play a role around the delicate area of the eyes. As we age, the bones that hold our eyes become thinner, changing the shape of the face. The front part becomes smaller, and the middle, the maxilla, becomes shorter. This appears as sagging skin, muscles, and fat under the eyes.
It can make the centre of the face, which is right under the eyes, appear older and less full. As a result, the dark circles under the eyes appear bigger, and we look tired, even though we are not.

Let’s have a more detailed look at what treatments can help rejuvenate your eyes and what seems to work.
Wrinkles around the eyes
Several treatments for wrinkles around the eyes are available, but Botox is the most popular and effective treatment.
Botox
Botox relaxes the small muscles surrounding the eyes. When the muscles are more relaxed, the skin around the eyes has more space to stretch, appearing less wrinkly. It is the most effective and popular treatment for wrinkles.
What it does
- It smoothes fine lines and wrinkles.
What it does not do
- It does not improve dark circles under the eyes.
Dark Circles under the Eyes
Most Popular Treatments
Several popular in-clinic treatments for dark circles under the eyes are available. Let’s examine them.
Cheek Filler
Dermal fillers for the cheek can help reduce dark circles under the eyes by lifting the fat pads in the cheeks. This is a very effective treatment for rejuvenating the under-eye area. This is the most popular treatment at our clinic.
Lifting Fat Pads
Cheek volume restoration involves injecting dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid into the cheeks. This helps add volume and lift the midface area. This subtle lift helps to reposition the fat pads, which can droop with age, reducing the appearance of hollows and shadows under the eyes.
Reducing Dark Circles
Dermal fillers can reduce dark circles by filling and lifting the cheeks. This creates a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. The added volume helps to reflect light better, diminishing the appearance of under-eye darkness.
Tear trough filler
Tear trough fillers are a common cosmetic treatment that helps improve the look of the under-eye area. However, most people respond better to cheek filler, so this is always the first choice for improving dark circles. Using cheek and tear trough filler for best results is also possible.
Ensuring you are the right candidate for tear trough filler is very important.
Tear trough filler works well for people
- With no morning puffiness or any puffiness around the eyes.
- With dark circles that are mild and not too large.
Potential Side Effects
Puffiness
In some cases, tear-trough fillers can exacerbate puffiness under the eyes. This is because hyaluronic acid makes up the filler, which can draw extra water into the skin. We do not recommend this treatment option for anybody who gets morning or any puffiness around the eyes.
Tyndall effect
If injected too close to the surface, the filler may cause a blueish colour change under the skin, known as the Tyndall Effect. To fix this, inject hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers.
The doctor can often avoid this by using certain types of filler and injecting it into the right layer of the skin. But there are cases where it happens despite all the precautions taken.

Hoody Eyelids
Sagging eyelids are a common sign of aging, and there are limited non-surgical options to improve them drastically. Many people opt for blepharoplasty, a simple office procedure to remove excess skin from the eyelids.
Non-surgical options work best if you want subtle enhancement and lifting of your eyelids. The most popular treatment is PRP Plasma.
PRP helps improve skin quality by increasing collagen and elastin, making it firmer and more resilient. This can reduce the look of hooded eyelids. Other treatment options are skin boosters and lasers.
| PRP | Skin booster | PDO-Eyebrow lift |
|---|---|---|
| Subtle lifting | Subtle lifting | Lifts eyebrows but rarely improves the eyelids |
Eye creams
Eye creams play an important role in skincare by improving the sensitive skin around the eyes. Use a good eye cream to maintain great results for your eye area. Choose a scientifically tested and proven cream from a reputable company.
Reputable eye creams have Vitamin A and C, peptides, and caffeine to help with dark circles, wrinkles, and loose skin. You can browse our range of eye creams for more information.
