Creams Haven't Helped "Tired Eyes", What Options Do I have?

as Creams can be helpful in improving the quality of your skin, but they will not remove puffy "bags" or tighten loose skin. Non surgical options include Botox for lateral "Crows feet" lines, or soft tissue fillers such as Juvederm or Radiesse to fill in tear trough hollowing. Surgical options include laser resurfacing of the lower lids. This can be helpful in smoothing out finer lines and can in some cases help with dark circles. Lower lid... more

Tired eyes. Best treatment?

It is very helpful that you submitted a photo, but even with this, it is impossible to decide on the best treatment without seeing you. Certainly, under eye fillers might be a great possibility for rejuvenating your appearance without surgery.

"Tired Eyes" may be improved with fillers under the eyes

You are one of many people who suffer from dark circles and bags under the eyes that make you look tired, even when you aren't. As you have found, creams don't help. Dark circles and tired eyes are treated very well with fillers placed in the tear trough and cheek area. The fillers remove the bags by filling in the indentations around them. Treatments are maintained on a 6 month interval Good luck in your search for information! see video

Creams will improve the quality of the lower eyelid skin but are incapable of decreasing fat bags. Lower eyelid surgery is the only real solution to remove these bags. Fillers add volume and IMO will increase the volume and compound the issue.

Nonsurgical treatment of lower eyelids

First of all I would encourage you to send your creams back to the companies that promised you results and try to get your money back. If you are persistent you may get a refund. It is hard to tell from your picture, but what I can see, your bags aren't that bad but they look worse because of the well-defined crease under your lower eyelids which plastic surgeons now call a 'tear trough deformity.' This can be improved significantly without surgery by injecting a hyaluronic... more

Wrinkle creams?

Surgery and occasionally fillers are the best option for lower lid bags. if you want creams save them for post op maintenance and use the cheapest cream with retinol or retin a and a goos sun block. good luck.

Don't waste your money on the expensive creams.

A basic eye cream is very helpful. That should not set you back more than $30.00. After that forget about it. This companies make sound like the cream is giving you a facelift. No way. For the under eye area, consider getting under eye filler service from an experienced injector.

Fillers?

Have you tried fillers into the 'groove' or the tear trough area under your eyes. This may be a good option for you The way it works is by filling in the depressions around the eyes, which improves the shadows, making you look less tired. The other option would be a surgical one which requires removal of the fat pockets under the eyes. A surgeon experienced in eyelid surgery will be able to examine your particular situation and discuss your various options. (Your picture... more
