Despite early nights, eye creams, and self-motivation, tired eyes come for us all. Dark circles and hollows develop temporarily after a late night or a
fitful night’s sleep, but these are often temporary until we rectify our sleeping pattern. The real ‘tired eyes’ are the ones that stick around – eye
bags, tear troughs, and permanent dark circle – and can develop through genetic predisposition and thinning skin. The eye area has been traditionally
a very sensitive area to treat because of how thin the skin is and, more importantly, what lies beneath it, but how can you treat tired eyes? Let’s
discover tear trough treatment!
Why do dark circles appear?
Dark circles appear when the skin under the eyes thins and deteriorates with age. The skin here is actually far thinner than anywhere else on your body,
causing it to rest slightly on the bones beneath. The skin ‘hugging’ these bones creates these hollows, but the darkness is caused underlying facial
muscles and blood vessels. Because the skin is so thin here, it is shaded dark because of how close proximity it is to these hidden structures. If
concealing makeup, eye creams, and even cucumber slices aren’t working, it might be time for you to try out tired eyes treatments…
How do you perform tear trough treatments?
Under-eye bags that have everything to do with your facial anatomy and nothing to do with your sleeping pattern can be treated with our advanced tired
eyes treatments. Targeted injections of dermal fillers are placed carefully in the tear trough to brighten and widen your eyes. The dermal filler sits
beneath the skin to add volume to these areas, creating more plumping substance between the dark muscles and the skin’s surface. This will not only
appear how much of the dark colour is visible, but it will also ‘fill’ out the hollow that is causing your eyes to appear sunken. Putting something
between these two barriers will inevitably lessen the dark appearance of the troughs, helping your eyes appear brighter and more open.
Are dermal fillers safe for tear trough treatment?
Dermal fillers are a temporary injectable treatment that closely mimic a natural bodily sugar known as hyaluronic acid. This substance is used in your skin and tissue to create volume, laxity, and hydration, which is why many reputable dermal fillers strive to replicate it. It’s entirely safe to use for aesthetic treatments, but only an advanced injector may perform tear trough rejuvenation. Always trust the professionals with advanced and delicate treatments!
Other treatments to reawaken tired eyes
Expressive areas of the face often create fine lines and wrinkles when animated, caused by over-active muscles and the thinning skin that tops them. These
fine lines, or crow’s feet, prematurely age us and make our eyes appear more tired and aged than they otherwise are. Softening these fine lines is
achieved with anti-wrinkle injections using a world-renowned medical toxin. By injecting into the over-expressive muscles, we stop them from contracting
as aggressively and therefore lessen their ability to crinkle the skin above them. The same medical toxin can also correct a drooping eyebrow, helping
to elevate a downward curve that softens expression and causes an aged appearance.
Tired eyes should only be a reality if you’ve gotten to bed late or were awakened too early, and nowhere else in between! If you’re experiencing signs
of ageing around your eyes, our tear trough treatment and eye rejuvenation might be particularly effective for you. Enquire online to book your consultation today at our skin clinics located in Essex and Rickmansworth!
