I want to look less tired
How can non-surgical solutions make me look less tired?
By re-contouring both the cheek and the surrounding eye areas in a blended fashion, we can hugely improve the signs of tiredness. It's important to understand that whilst the most obvious signs of tiredness might be seen directly beneath the eyes, the entire area around the eye including the cheeks, temples and eyebrows may need to be stabilised to provide support for the under eye area.
In other faces, so called 'dark circles' might be prominent because of the paler tone of your skin. This leads to a purple/blue colouration because the muscle of the eye is more visible beneath the skin. In this situation, treatments like Rejuran can be helpful to thicken the skin and therefore reduce the dark colouration.
As such, every face is different and so there's no such thing as a set price for any intervention. Instead, your face will be examined during your consultation to diagnose how best to improve your signs of tiredness and the minimum amount of treatment to make a difference.
Areas that might be involved to improve the signs of tiredness include:
Looking tired is one of the most common reasons people seek out cosmetic consultations. It's never nice to be told that you look tired, but it's particularly hurtful when you're not and are actually well rested!
When we see volume loss and under eye hollows, we usually associate this with looking tired - but it's important to understand that the two aren't linked. Children, teenagers and young adults can also have cheek flatness, deep tear troughs, dark circles, pigmentation or under eye hollows. Therefore our genes also play a key role in how we look and the features that we inherit from our parents.
As we age, our faces lose volume. The youthful plumpness to our cheeks and under eye areas slowly deflates over time. As a result, we start to see some predictable, visible signs including hollowing are the under eye area.
Conversely, having puffiness or 'bags' of the under eye area can also make you look tired. Depending on the severity of the bag and the quality of the skin, certain interventions can sometimes be used to camouflage and soften these. Lower eyelid surgery known as lower blepharoplasty is also recommend if this is the best solution to improve your look.
