As we age we lose fats,collagen ,hyaluronic acids and elastin in the skin. This will lead to thinning of the skin and loss of volume resulting in sunken under eyes and tear troughs. Furthermore eyebags and dark eye circles are frequently associated with tear troughs. This is due to the thin under eye skin which exposes the underlying blood vessels and the melanin that is laid down Treatment of under eye hollowing and tear trough would therefore involve the administration of a soft hyaluronic acid filler like Restalyne Vital to plump up the hollow restoring the youthful look.

Dark eye circles are due to melanin and hemosiderin (from red blood cells breakdown) that are deposited at the thin skin around the eyes. As we age we also lose skin elasticity ,collagen and volume resulting in eye bags, fine lines and tear troughs. This makes us look tired and fatiqued.
