Tired
under-eye treatment in Solihull
Tired-looking under-eyes are one of the most common things people mention at a consultation. The cause is often the skin itself, so we start by finding out what's behind it.
Book a ConsultationWhy do under-eyes
look tired?
The skin under the eyes is some of the thinnest on the face, so changes in skin quality, pigment and volume show there first.
Sleep and a good eye cream only go so far. Each cause needs a different approach.
- Thin, crepey skin
- The skin loses firmness and creases easily, which makes the area look tired and darker.
- Pigmentation
- Brown or grey shading in the skin itself.
- Hollowness
- A shadow or groove under the eye, caused by changes in volume.
- Lifestyle
- Lack of sleep, allergies and screen time can make the area look puffier or darker for a while.
How do we assess your under-eyes?
Your OBSERV 520x skin analysis shows pigmentation and other changes beneath the surface that you can't see in the mirror.
With a close look at the area, it tells us which cause applies to you before we recommend any treatment.
