Dark circles & under-eye hollows are extremely common concerns for both men and women and often contribute to a “tired-looking” appearance. Under-eye hollows and darkness affect individuals of all ages, genders and ethnicities.
Under-eye hollows are caused by a lack of volume in the under-eye area, leading to a shadowed, tired appearance. In most cases, a hyaluronic acid-based filler is the best way to restore this volume. At Nu Image, we prefer a hyaluronic acid filler specifically made for under the eyes. . When paired with an eye cream we see a remarkable improvement.
Under-eye darkness is a blanket term that refers to both vascular darkness and darkness caused by hyperpigmentation. Vascular darkness is much more common in Caucasian men and women and is a result of thin, transparent skin in the under eyes. Vascular under-eye darkness is typically blue or purple and can also be worsened by the appearance of individual vessels. The treatment for vascular darkness typically involves treating the vessels while thickening the skin.
Undereye hyperpigmentation is typically found in individuals with darker skin tones and is often the result of sun damage. Hyperpigmentation is treated using medical-grade skincare and Photorejuvenation (IPL).
