The delicate area under and around the eyes is especially vulnerable to changes that come with aging.

FAQs

What causes under-eye bags and hollowing?

As you get older, you experience volume loss everywhere in the skin from a decrease in collagen production and loss of fat, as well as the natural destruction of collagen and elastin. You often notice these issues first around your eyes because they eyes are central to the face and what people look at most and because the skin around the eyes is really thin, so changes are noticeable.

There is a genetic component to how and when we age around the eyes. For some people, these changes start in their 20s and 30s.

Several factors may contribute to under-eye aging, including:

Natural volume loss
Thinning skin
Genetics
Shifting of fat pads
Collagen loss
Sun damage
Poor sleep and lifestyle factors

What causes dark circles under the eyes?

Dark circles may be caused by volume loss, pigmentation, genetics, visible blood vessels, or thinning skin.

Is it safe to use dermal fillers under the eyes?

When performed by experienced providers, under-eye fillers can be an effective option for appropriate candidates.

Can surgery improve eye bags?
