Under-Eye Hollows and Discoloration
Under-Eye Hollows and Discoloration: Why They Occur
Under-eye hollows and discoloration are among the most common reasons for a tired and aged appearance. As we age, the natural loss of volume and tissue around the eye causes the smooth structure under the eye to deteriorate. This results in shadows forming due to poor light reflection, making the under-eye area appear darker. In many individuals, especially those with genetic predispositions, these signs can emerge even at a young age.
One of the primary reasons for under-eye discoloration is the shadowing caused by hollowing in the tear trough area. Treating this condition effectively requires targeted aesthetic procedures using ingredients that support skin quality and regeneration.
What Is Mesotherapeutic Light Filler?
Mesotherapeutic light filler is a specialized injectable treatment that contains hyaluronic acid and amino acids. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that volumize, this product is designed to enhance skin quality, improve circulation, and brighten the under-eye area. It is specifically formulated for delicate regions like the under-eye and is applied using fine needles with the aid of anesthetic creams to minimize discomfort.
How It Works
The hyaluronic acid used in this filler is naturally found in the body and plays a crucial role in hydration and skin repair. When injected into the under-eye area, it promotes cellular renewal and helps diminish the appearance of shadows and discoloration. The amino acids support the skin’s structural integrity, enhancing overall radiance and firmness.
Treatment Sessions
A full treatment generally involves 3–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Repeat treatments once or twice a year are often recommended to maintain optimal results and support long-term skin health.
Under-Eye Wrinkle Treatments
Facial expressions and aging gradually lead to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes. While some wrinkles are motion-induced, over time they become static and more prominent. Modern medical aesthetic approaches offer a variety of solutions to treat these wrinkles and prevent their progression.
Botulinum Toxin for Fine Lines
Botulinum toxin (commonly referred to as Botox) is a widely used injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles causing dynamic wrinkles. Applied in areas such as crow’s feet, forehead, and glabella, it takes about 10 minutes to perform. While some results are visible immediately, full effect typically appears within 7–10 days.
Hyaluronic Acid-Based Fillers
Dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid are commonly used for treating under-eye wrinkles. This substance, naturally found in the skin, adds hydration and elasticity, helping smooth out lines and refresh the appearance. Due to its biocompatibility, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal, making it a safe option for sensitive areas.
Scarlet S: Microneedling with Radiofrequency
Scarlet S combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. It uses fine needles to deliver energy beneath the surface without damaging the outer layer. The result is a gradual tightening and rejuvenation of the treated area. Typically, 3–4 sessions are recommended every three weeks, depending on the depth of wrinkles and individual skin response.
Icon Laser Technology
Icon Laser treatment delivers controlled laser energy to the skin to boost collagen synthesis. This non-invasive procedure promotes natural skin regeneration and is typically done in 3–4 sessions spaced two weeks apart. Since there is minimal downtime, patients can return to daily activities shortly after the session ✅
Focused Ultrasound for Wrinkle Reduction
This single-session treatment uses ultrasound energy focused at 1.5 mm and 3 mm depths of the skin. It creates controlled thermal injury to stimulate tissue regeneration and promote a firm, youthful appearance. It is ideal for those seeking gradual tightening effects without multiple visits.

Under-eye concerns such as dark circles, hollows, and wrinkles can significantly impact one’s appearance and self-confidence. Modern aesthetic treatments—including mesotherapeutic light fillers, botulinum toxin, and laser therapies—offer safe and effective solutions tailored to this sensitive area. Through customized treatment planning and professional application, individuals can achieve a more refreshed and youthful under-eye appearance with minimal disruption to their daily routines.
