What Treatments Are Available to Improve Facial Circulation?

I would like to know what non-surgical procedures are available to help increase blood circulation in the face especially around the eye area. I would say i have really good skin but it often looks fatigued despite having a healthy diet and going to the gym. I often find that if i rub or pinch my skin around the eye/cheekbone area it then has a healthy glow, despite it being slighty red and my skin looks 100 times better just for that instance.

I've tried tca peel/microdermabrasion on the face and various under-eye creams but still i have the same problem. How can I improve circulation in the face, especially around the eye area?

Lipose is coming out with a PRP device in the next several months.

Tretinoin cream decreases pigmentation and exfoliates and compacts the outermost layers of the skin.
