Frequently Asked Questions

What causes fine lines and creasing under the eyes?

Under-eye fine lines are most commonly caused by dehydration, collagen decline, skin thinning and repetitive facial movement. The eye area is naturally delicate, so changes often appear earlier here than elsewhere on the face.

Are under-eye lines always a sign of ageing?

Not always. Under-eye creasing can appear at any age due to dehydration, barrier weakness or lifestyle stress. However, collagen decline and tissue thinning do increase with age, which can make lines more visible over time.

How long does it take to improve under-eye fine lines?

Many clients notice improvement within 6–12 weeks when hydration and collagen support are introduced correctly. Long-term improvement is strongest when treatments are sequenced safely and supported by suitable homecare.

Why does my concealer crease under my eyes?

Creasing often occurs when the under-eye skin is dehydrated, textured or lacking elasticity. Improving hydration retention and under-eye smoothness usually improves makeup performance as well.

Can dehydration cause under-eye wrinkles?

Yes. Dehydration makes fine lines appear deeper because the skin loses plumpness. Many early under-eye lines soften significantly once hydration and barrier stability are restored.

Do under-eye fine lines get worse during menopause?

Yes. Menopause can accelerate collagen decline and reduce skin thickness, making under-eye creasing more noticeable. Many women see rapid changes during perimenopause and menopause due to reduced skin recovery capacity.

Is microneedling safe under the eyes?

It can be safe when performed using appropriate under-eye protocols and clinical screening. At ULANDA, microneedling suitability is assessed carefully because the under-eye area requires gentler sequencing than the rest of the face.

What is the difference between under-eye fine lines and tear trough hollows?

Fine lines relate to texture and collagen thinning, while tear trough hollows are a structural volume issue that creates shadowing. Many clients have both, which is why under-eye assessment includes structure and skin quality.

Can under-eye fine lines be linked to dark circles?

Yes. Thin under-eye skin and collagen decline can make blood vessels more visible, contributing to vascular dark circles. Improving collagen behaviour and hydration often supports both concerns together.

Can under-eye puffiness make creasing look worse?

Yes. Puffiness can stretch under-eye skin unevenly and create texture distortion, making lines appear deeper. Supporting fluid balance and skin strength can improve the overall under-eye contour.
