Under-Eye Hollows / Tear Trough Shadowing

Under-eye hollows are usually caused by natural volume loss, collagen decline and structural changes around the orbital area. This creates a sunken contour that produces shadowing, often mistaken for pigmentation.

Not always. Dark circles can be pigment-based or vascular (blue/purple), while hollows create shadowing due to structure. Many clients experience both, which is why assessment is essential before choosing treatments.

Improvement depends on the cause and the chosen pathway. Most clients begin to see visible changes within 6–12 weeks with structured collagen support and under-eye regeneration planning.

Sleep can influence puffiness, but hollows are usually structural. Genetics, collagen thinning and natural facial volume changes can create a tired appearance even in well-rested clients.

Yes. Dehydration reduces skin plumpness and increases the appearance of creasing and shadowing. Hydration rebuilding is often part of the under-eye regeneration plan.

Hollows are caused by volume loss and structural contour changes, while puffiness is caused by fluid retention or swelling. Some clients have both, which can create uneven under-eye texture and shadowing.

Yes. When under-eye skin thins and loses collagen support, fine lines and crepey texture become more visible. Regeneration planning often includes collagen stimulation and hydration support.

It depends. If pigmentation is the dominant cause, pigment correction may be required alongside structural support. ULANDA assesses both pigment and anatomy so treatment is correctly targeted.
