What is a tear trough and why do we develop them?
Tear troughs are the hollow grooves that run from the inner corner of the eye down and outward along the cheek. They form where the margin of the bony eye socket meets the cheek fat, creating a natural groove due to minimal connective tissue. While everyone has a slight tear trough from birth, deeper or longer troughs may occur in those with larger or more deeply set eyes.
Over time, tear troughs may become more pronounced. Loss of mid‑cheek fat and natural sagging of the cheek skin can deepen the hollow, catching shadows that accentuate under‑eye dark circles. Lifestyle factors—like weight loss, sun damage, and smoking—can accelerate this process, making under‑eye hollows appear earlier or more pronounced.
How do treatments for under eye dark circles, hollows and bags work?
Treatments for under-eye dark circles, hollows, and bags employ various mechanisms to target the specific factors contributing to these concerns. When addressing under-eye hollows, treatments may target volume loss or deficiency that occurs naturally with age or due to normal anatomical variation. By carefully focussing on the causes the area, the goal is to lift and support the under-eye area, and create a smoother contour, as well as reduce the shadowing that contributes to the appearance.
To tackle dark circles, different approaches may be needed depending on the cause. If thin skin revealing underlying blood vessels is the primary factor, treatments aim to subtly optimise the skin, thereby reducing the visibility of these vessels and lightening the dark appearance. In cases where pigmentation plays a role, certain treatments may help to even out skin tone and diminish discolouration.
For under-eye bags, which can be caused by a combination of factors including fat protrusion and fluid retention, treatments often focus on addressing the overall contour and firmness of the area. By smoothing the transition between the bag and the surrounding skin, treatments may minimise their prominence. Furthermore, some treatments stimulate the body’s own collagen and elastin production, which may increase skin elasticity, and give more support, reducing the appearance of puffiness.
Beyond directly addressing volume and pigmentation, under-eye treatments may also focus on addressing the overall health and vitality of the delicate skin in this area. By hydrating the area from within and promoting cellular regeneration, some methods aim to contribute to a brighter, smoother, and more resilient under-eye appearance.
To further optimise and prolong the benefits of these in-clinic treatments, a consistent and targeted skincare routine plays a vital role. High-quality skincare products assist with skin hydration, helping the under-eye area remain plump and supple, which can further minimise the appearance of fine lines and hollows. Moreover, specific skincare ingredients can actively reduce pigmentation and brighten the under-eye area, diminishing the appearance of dark circles.
Men’s under-eye treatment for dark circles, hollows, bags and a tired appearance
Dark circles, hollows, and under-eye bags can be a normal anatomical variation, or develop over time due to various factors. Depending on the cause, such appearances may persist, despite maintaining a healthy life and consistent sleep patterns. Men’s under-eye treatments focuses on reducing the appearance of such features–and may be explored by men for various reasons.
Treatments in this area generally aim to support, smooth contours, and reduce shadows without compromising a natural appearance.
Understanding the male under-eye area
The male under-eye area has unique anatomical characteristics that influence both the appearance of the under eye and the approach to treatment. Men’s skin is generally thicker and the orbital bones more pronounced, creating distinct shadow patterns and hollows beneath the eyes.
- Shadowing and pigmentation: Dark circles may result from thin skin, genetics, or underlying hollows, creating persistent shadows.
- Volume loss or hollowness: Changes over time or natural anatomy can reduce support under the eyes.
- Bags or puffiness: Fat pads under the eyes can descend over time, producing a bulging or uneven contour.
- Skin laxity: Thinning skin or fine lines can worsen shadows and hollowness.
A tailored approach considers these anatomical factors and aims to carefully address them.
Common under eye concerns men seek to address
There are a range of features that can be seen in the under eye region, some of which can be reasons men seek a consultation at a cosmetic clinic.
- Persistent dark circles.
- Hollow under-eyes.
- Mild bags or puffiness.
- Changes over time, such as loss of support and volume.
The first step in a consultation is a formal assessment, to allow personalised treatment planning. Results are tailored to your unique assessment, and personal preferences.
How under eye treatment works in men
Treating the under-eye area for men is a personalised process. It begins with a comprehensive assessment of anatomy, facial proportions, and specific concerns. Every treatment plan is customised to adjust the appearance of the under eye without looking unnatural.
Strategies may include:
- Support and volume: Targeting hollows beneath the eyes aims to soften shadows and create a smoother transition from the eyelid to the cheek.
- Smoothing contours: Correcting minor unevenness may help the under-eye area appear smooth.
- Hydration and skin rejuvenation: Supporting delicate under-eye skin can assist with texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Subtle correction: Gradual refinement avoids an over-treated appearance and keeps the result natural.
Treatments usually aim to achieve gradual adjustments, aligned with your preferences.
Lifestyle and maintenance tips
While under eye treatments can address concerns in this delicate area, lifestyle factors also play a role in maintaining results:
- Prioritise adequate sleep to minimise dark circles and puffiness.
- Maintain hydration to support skin elasticity and smoothness.
- Manage stress and fatigue, which can exacerbate under-eye shadows.
- Protect skin from sun damage with SPF to prevent pigmentation and ageing.
- Control allergies, especially if they cause eye irritation, and avoid rubbing the delicate skin around your eyes.
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants to support skin health.
Final considerations
Men’s under-eye treatments are not about creating dramatic changes but about gradual refinement. A carefully tailored approach aims to:
- Achieve natural-looking results.
- Address multiple concerns—dark circles, hollows, bags, and fatigue—simultaneously, depending on your suitability.

Most treatments involve the use of numbing to minimise discomfort.
The time to results from under eye treatments depends on the specific methods used. Typically final results are visible within days to weeks for most non-surgical options.
After under eye treatments, the recovery period depends on the specific methods used, with most people experiencing slight redness and swelling for 1-2 days.
Under eye treatments are considered low-risk, however, like all medical procedures, side effects are possible.
