If I use retinol under eyes, will it help increase collagen to improve sunk eyes?
Answer: Dermal filler offers better results than topical products Thank you for your good question. Retinol is an excellent ingredient for improving the appearance of the skin, but it’s benefits will be limited. For dark circles and hollowing, I usually recommend injections of small amounts of dermal filler. By adding subtle volume to the area, we can reduce the discoloration and refresh the eye area. This treatment requires expertise and precision to perform correctly. I use a micro-cannula for these injections to reduce side effects and achieve a smoother look. Make sure the doctor you choose has board certification and extensive training in treating this area to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Tear Trough deformity Hi @baze92! Retinol helps decrease inflammation, unclog pores, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. However, it will not help improve sunken eyes. I would recommend a HA dermal filler like Juvederm Voluma or Restylane.

Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles -- Fillers Belotero, Juvederm Volbella; Laser Like Fraxel/Co2/J Plasma; Microneedling/PRP; Peels retinol can improve color and fine wrinkles around the eyes but not hollowing, puffiness, or sunken look.

Answer: Tear trough Prescription strength Retin-A/Tretinoin is a great maintenance product for fine lines and uneven skin tone when used long term, and can improve the overall quality of your skin. However, it will not likely generate enough collagen to fill a hollow area. For hollowing, dermal fillers like Restylane are a great option for camouflaging the sunken area and blending it with your cheek contour. For a longer lasting option, fat transfer is great alternative. Good luck.

Answer: Eye creams and retinol Yes, retinol can help with fine lines and to stimulate collagen production in the skin around the eyes. This is one reason a small amount of retinol is included in a lot of the over the counter eye creams. However, it will not help much with tear trough deformity or sunken eyes. HA fillers like Restylane are commonly used to treat tear trough deformities.
