Under-Eye Rejuvenation Options: How to Brighten, Smooth, and Refresh Tired Eyes

The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of fatigue and aging. Whether you're noticing dark circles, under-eye bags, or hollowing beneath the eyes, this delicate area often requires a tailored approach that balances volume restoration, skin quality improvement, and structural support.

At The Centre for Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine, we offer a range of non-surgical and surgical under-eye treatments to help you look as rested and youthful as you feel.

Changes in the under-eye area can be caused by a combination of:

1. Volume loss in the cheeks or tear troughs
2. Thinning skin, revealing vessels and pigmentation
3. Fat pad displacement, leading to bags or bulges
4. Sun damage, poor sleep, and lifestyle factors
5. Genetics, which may predispose you to circles or hollows

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane or Juvederm can restore lost volume beneath the eyes, reducing the appearance of hollows and shadows.

Best for:

• Mild to moderate hollowing
• Patients seeking non-surgical, temporary correction
• Smoothing the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek

For patients looking for a more natural and longer-lasting solution, nano fat transfer uses your own purified fat to rejuvenate the under-eye area. In addition to volume restoration, it offers skin-regenerating benefits thanks to its rich concentration of stem cells and growth factors.

• Under-eye hollowing
• Fine lines and crepey skin
• Patients seeking a more permanent result

When puffiness or loose skin is the dominant concern, lower eyelid surgery may be the most effective option. This surgical procedure removes or repositions fat and tightens skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer contour beneath the eyes.

Best for:

• Prominent under-eye bags
• Loose or excess skin
• Long-term correction

Recovery typically lasts 1–2 weeks, and results can last many years.

A non-surgical treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency, Morpheus8 helps tighten skin, reduce fine lines, and stimulate collagen—perfect for improving the texture of thin under-eye skin.

Best for:

• Fine lines and crepey texture
• Mild to moderate laxity
• Patients seeking skin firming without downtime

Fractional CO2 laser treatment resurfaces the skin, reducing wrinkles, pigmentation, and texture irregularities. It’s one of the most effective options for crepey or sun-damaged under-eye skin.

Best for:

• Wrinkles and discoloration
• Improving skin quality and tone
• Pairing with surgical or volume-restoring treatments

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Some patients benefit from fillers or nano fat alone, while others may need skin tightening or resurfacing for optimal results. In many cases, combining treatments leads to the most natural, refreshed appearance.

At The Centre, we’ll evaluate your under-eye concerns, skin condition, and facial anatomy to recommend a customized treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

If your under-eye area is making you look older or more tired than you feel, we’re here to help. Our team specializes in both subtle enhancements and transformative solutions to help you look bright, rested, and confident.
