Under-Eye Treatments That Actually Work (And Which to Avoid)
Tired of looking tired? You’re not alone. Dark circles, puffiness, and hollows under the eyes are some of the most common skin concerns and also the hardest to fix. With so many products promising miracles, it’s hard to know what truly works.
Let’s clear the confusion and look at the under-eye treatments that actually deliver results and which ones aren’t worth your time.
Eye Creams vs. In-Office Treatments
Eye creams help with hydration and surface texture but can’t rebuild lost volume or boost collagen deep within the skin. That’s why in-office treatments like PRP, PDGF, fillers, and lasers make a noticeable difference. They work below the surface to restore firmness, brightness, and smoother texture.
Best Treatments for Dark Circles & Hollows
At Core Aesthetics, we offer treatments proven to refresh tired eyes:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Uses your plasma to stimulate collagen and repair skin naturally.
PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor): Concentrated growth factors to rejuvenate thin, fragile skin.
Fillers: Add volume to hollows and reduce shadows.
Lasers: Tighten and even out tone for brighter, smoother skin.
These can be used alone or together for customized results.
Safety and Results
The under-eye area is delicate so expert care matters. Avoid DIY or unverified products. When done professionally, treatments are safe and look natural.
Recovery is usually minimal:
PRP/PDGF: Light redness for 1–2 days
Fillers: Immediate results, mild tenderness
Lasers: Slight peeling for a few days
You’ll see results within days to weeks as collagen builds and skin smooths.
