Reduce the appearance of dark circles.

Tired eyes are a common condition that people usually experience as a result of ageing or lifestyle. As we age, the hollows beneath our eyes become more pronounced as the skin starts to lose elasticity and volume.

In addition to this, the skin beneath our eyes is thinner than that of the rest of the face, and the veins beneath the eyes can become apparent giving us a tired appearance.

Collagen and elastin are two proteins naturally found in the skin, and as we age the production of collagen and elastin begins to deplete leaving us with skin that is less hydrated and loses its ability to ‘bounce back’, therefore leaving us with skin that may require some assistance to maintain its youthful state.

Whilst ageing is one reason we take on a tired look, our lifestyle as well as genetics and environmental factors can also contribute to this concern. It is important to consider these factors when diagnosing the cause of tired eyes as often the treatment will be combined with minor lifestyle enhancements.

Hydration is one key area to consider. We should look for great skin hydration in order to help maintain a less tired look, as well as to aid in keeping the skin plump and bouncy and the hollows less pronounced.

The more defined the hollows, the more the area above these can cast discrete shadows over this area making the under eye present as dark circles which is a classic sign of tiredness.

Of course, a great sleep pattern is also an important way to help control the look of tired eyes, as is a healthy diet and appropriate level of exercise. We all know that inner health is essential to appear bright and alert, as well as to feel our very best.

Here at Nassif MedSpa, we have a number of treatments that can help reduce the appearance of tired eyes. These may include: lifestyle advice, medical grade skincare, tear trough fillers, dermal fillers and anti wrinkle injections. During your consultation, we will determine the cause of your tired looking eyes and recommend the appropriate treatment for you.

Under-eye hollows develop as volume is lost where the cheek meets the lower lid, the tear trough, casting a shadow that reads as dark circles. Thin skin, genetics and lifestyle factors can deepen the effect.

Tear trough fillers restore lost volume to smooth the hollow, while skin boosters such as Teoxane Redensity 1 and polynucleotides improve the quality, thickness and tone of the delicate under-eye skin.

Filler results are visible immediately, with the full effect at around two weeks, and can last 12 months or more. Skin boosters build their effect over a short course of treatments.

All treatments at Nassif MedSpa are carried out by trained, experienced practitioners using medically approved products and technology. Your medical history is reviewed at consultation, and any side effects or risks specific to your recommended treatment will be explained fully before you go ahead.

Every journey at Nassif MedSpa begins with a one-to-one consultation. We assess your skin and concerns, listen to what you want to achieve, and recommend the treatment, or combination of treatments, best suited to you. If we do not believe a treatment will benefit you, we will tell you.

Yes, for the right concern. If the under-eye area looks crepey, dry or dull, a skin booster such as Teoxane Redensity 1, which is designed for the eye area, or polynucleotides can improve skin quality and brightness. If the main problem is a hollow or shadow caused by lost volume, tear trough filler is usually the better option, and some people benefit from both. Your consultation at our MediaCityUK, Manchester clinic will tell you which applies to you.
