The delicate skin around the eyes is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, stress, and fatigue. Whether it’s dark circles, hollowness, fine lines, or puffiness, the under-eye area requires care to maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance. Fortunately, at Turkle & Associates and Phases® Skin Care & Laser Center, we offer a variety of solutions tailored to your unique needs, from surgical and non-surgical treatments to medical-grade skincare.
If you’re looking to brighten, smooth, and rejuvenate your under-eye area, here’s everything you need to know.
Surgical Solutions: Lower Blepharoplasty for Long-Lasting Rejuvenation
For patients seeking a more permanent solution to under-eye bags, puffiness, or sagging skin, lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery) is an excellent option. This surgical procedure corrects bags, droopiness, and wrinkles below the eyes that can make you look tired even after a good night’s sleep.
Benefits of Lower Blepharoplasty:
- Eliminates under-eye bags
- Smooths hollowed tear troughs
- Reduces wrinkles
- Provides long-lasting results
- Enhances a more youthful, rested look
Performed by our double-board certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Janet Turkle and Dr. Brandon Specht, one of the top plastic surgery teams in Indiana, this procedure offers a significant transformation with natural-looking results. You can see some of their before and after results here.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Under Eye Rejuvenation
For those not ready for surgery or looking to enhance their results in a less costly way, non-surgical options can still make a dramatic difference.
1. Undereye Filler for Volume Restoration
Hollowing or deep tear troughs can create a tired appearance. Undereye filler, such as Juvederm and RHA® Collection of Fillers, restores lost volume, smooths out hollows, and reduces dark shadows. This quick, in-office treatment provides instant results with little to no downtime.
2. PDGF for Skin Regeneration
Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) uses pharmaceutically made growth factors to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This regenerative treatment works beautifully to reduce fine lines, improve elasticity, and enhance overall skin quality under the eyes. And unlike products jammed with additives, Ariessence pure PDGF+ only contains four ingredients: water, sodium acetate, hyaluronic acid, and sh-polypeptide-59 dimer.
3. Tox for Crow’s Feet Prevention
Wrinkles around the eyes, known as crow’s feet, can make the under-eye area appear aged. Neuromodulators (Tox), such as Botox®, Daxxify®, or Xeomin®, help relax these fine lines, creating a smoother, more youthful look. Regular treatments prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time.
4. Monthly Facials for Under-Eye Health
Healthy, glowing skin starts with consistent professional treatments. Monthly personalized facials at Phases® Skin Care & Laser Center help maintain hydration, improve circulation, and support collagen production— all essential for the delicate under-eye area. Customized facials, combined with targeted eye treatments, keep the skin smooth and radiant while enhancing the effectiveness of at-home skincare products.
