Aesthetic Consultation
At Freyja Medical, our aesthetic consultations for sunken eyes are led by our expert practitioners who tailor personalised treatment plans to address your specific concerns.
We understand that every individual is unique, so we take the time to listen to your needs and goals before recommending the most suitable options.
Whether you’re considering dermal fillers or microneedling we’re here to guide you through the process, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your choices.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a quick and effective solution for sunken eyes by restoring volume and smoothing the under-eye area.
Using hyaluronic acid-based fillers, shadows are reduced, creating a refreshed look with immediate results lasting several months.
This minimally invasive procedure requires little downtime, making it convenient for those seeking noticeable improvements in their under-eye appearance.
Microneedling
Microneedling offers a promising solution for sunken eyes by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
This minimally invasive procedure creates micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing process and leading to firmer, thicker skin. It can also enhance the effectiveness of skincare products.
This treatment is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most skin types.
What causes sunken eyes?
Sunken eyes can result from various factors, including genetics, aging, lifestyle habits, and medical conditions. Here are some common causes:
- Genetics: Some individuals may naturally have sunken eyes due to their genetic makeup.
- Ageing: As we age, the skin around the eyes loses collagen and elasticity, leading to a hollowed appearance.
- Loss of Fat and Collagen: Reduction in fat and collagen in the under-eye area can cause the eyes to appear sunken.
- Dehydration: Lack of hydration can lead to sunken eyes as it affects the skin’s elasticity and plumpness.
- Poor Diet: Inadequate nutrition, especially a lack of vitamins and minerals, can contribute to hollow eyes.
- Sleep Deprivation: Not getting enough sleep can cause fluid retention and dark circles under the eyes, making them appear sunken.
- Allergies: Chronic allergies or sinus problems can lead to inflammation and puffiness around the eyes, accentuating the appearance of hollow eyes.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions like thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, or facial bone abnormalities can also contribute to hollow eyes.
- Sun Exposure: Excessive exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can accelerate collagen breakdown and lead to premature aging around the eyes.
- Smoking: Smoking can accelerate collagen loss and damage the delicate skin around the eyes, leading to a sunken appearance.
Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle changes or cosmetic procedures like dermal fillers or microneedling.
