What Causes Under-Eye Hollows and How Can They Be Treated?
Under-eye hollows are a common cosmetic concern that affects people of all ages.
At Dermatology Consultants of Short Hills, our team, which includes several board-certified dermatologists, knows how frustrating these hollows can be. They give the appearance of fatigue and aging, even when you’re well-rested.
What exactly causes under-eye hollows, and how can you treat them? Read on to learn more about the underlying reasons and proven solutions, like the dermal filler Restylane®, that can restore a refreshed look.
What Causes Under-Eye Hollows?
Several factors contribute to the development of under-eye hollows:
- Aging: The natural loss of fat and collagen over time leads to volume depletion.
- Genetics: Some people are predisposed to deeper under-eye areas that become more pronounced as they get older.
- Lifestyle factors: Dehydration, poor sleep, and stress can make hollows more noticeable.
- Structural changes: The skin’s supportive structures weaken as we age, and the orbital bone recedes. These changes deepen the under-eye area further.
The combination of these factors can result in a tired or gaunt appearance that many seek to correct.
Effective Treatments for Under-Eye Hollows
Are you looking for a non-surgical solution to under-eye hollows? If so, Restylane may be the answer.
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that restores volume and smooths the contours under the eyes. It can reduce the depth of under-eye hollows by replenishing the lost volume. It creates a rejuvenated and natural-looking appearance, and results generally last six months or longer.
In addition to regular Restylane treatments, simple lifestyle adjustments can have a big impact on the appearance of under-eye hollows. Make it a priority to stay hydrated (drink at least eight glasses of water per day) and get enough sleep (aim for 7-9 hours per night).
