The under-eye area is often the first place people notice they look tired, even when they feel great. It is also one of the most delicate areas to treat because the skin is thinner, movement is constant, and multiple concerns can overlap.
At The Face Loft, under-eye rejuvenation is never one size fits all. The best results come from identifying what is actually causing the change you are seeing, then choosing the right combination of treatments that keep results looking natural.
Below are the top options we recommend for under-eye aging, focusing on five categories only: dermal fillers, PRP injections, a gentle laser treatment, Botox, and adequate skincare.
What under-eye aging can look like
Most people describe under-eye aging as one or more of the following:
- Dark circles
- Hollowness or a sunken look (often called the tear trough area)
- Fine lines and crepey texture
- Shadowing that makes the under-eye look tired
The key is that these concerns do not all have the same cause. For example, darkness can be pigment, thin skin, or shadowing from volume loss. Texture can be dehydration, collagen loss, or both. That is why choosing the right treatment matters.
The five best treatments for undereye aging at The Face Loft
1) Dermal fillers for under-eye hollowing and shadowing
Best for: tear trough hollowing, shadowing, mild structural volume loss
Not ideal for: significant under-eye puffiness or prominent under-eye bags
When the under-eye looks darker because of shadowing, carefully placed dermal filler can soften the transition between the lower lid and the cheek. The goal is not to look filled. The goal is to look rested.
Because the under-eye is delicate, technique and product selection matter. If filler is not the right match for your anatomy, we will guide you to a better option.
2) PRP injections for brightness and skin quality
Best for: thin under-eye skin, early crepey texture, dullness, under-eye darkness related to skin quality
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a regenerative option that uses your body’s own growth factors to support healthier looking skin over time. It is a great choice when you want improvement that looks very natural and builds gradually.
PRP is not designed to create instant volume like filler. Instead, it supports skin quality, which can improve the overall look of the under-eye area.
If you are exploring regenerative options, we will walk you through what PRP can realistically do for your specific concern and how many sessions may be recommended.
3) A gentle laser treatment to refresh tone and texture
Best for: early fine lines, uneven tone, sun damage, crepey texture that benefits from gentle resurfacing
A gentle fractional laser can refresh the skin by improving tone, texture, and overall clarity while supporting collagen. This is often a smart option when your under-eye concern is more about skin quality than structural hollowing.
At The Face Loft, a common gentle laser option is MOXI Fractional Laser, which is designed for minimal downtime and gradual improvement.
4) Botox for crow’s feet and eye-area expression lines
Best for: crow’s feet, squint lines, and dynamic wrinkles around the eyes
Botox can soften expression lines around the eyes and help prevent them from becoming more etched over time. While it does not treat hollowing or pigment directly, it can make the overall eye area look smoother and more refreshed.

5) Adequate skincare to support and maintain results
Best for: hydration, barrier support, fine texture changes, maintaining treatment results
Skincare matters more under the eyes than most people realize. The right routine can improve hydration, support the skin barrier, and help the under-eye look smoother and brighter between visits.
A strong under-eye routine is usually simple: gentle cleansing, daily sunscreen, hydration, and consistent use of provider recommended products that support collagen and the skin barrier.
If you are not sure what is right for you, we can recommend an at home plan that supports your in office treatments and your long term goals.
How we decide what is right for you
During your consultation, we look at the true source of your concern so your plan is targeted and efficient.
A quick guide:
- If the darkness looks like a shadow that changes in different lighting, filler may be part of your plan.
- If the skin looks thin, crepey, or dull, PRP and gentle laser support can be a great match.
- If lines around the eyes show most when you smile or squint, Botox is often the best first step.
- If the under-eye area looks dry or makeup creases easily, skincare and hydration support are essential.
Many people benefit from combining two or more of these options for the most natural, balanced improvement.
