Tired of looking tired? You’re not alone. Undereye bags are one of the most common aesthetic concerns we see at Peace Love Tox in Chagrin Falls—and the good news is, you don’t need surgery to treat them. From strategic filler placement to advanced collagen-boosting treatments, there are safe, effective ways to smooth, brighten, and restore volume under your eyes. Let’s break down what really works.
What Causes Undereye Bags in the First Place?
Before we talk solutions, it’s important to understand the problem. Undereye bags can be caused by:
- Aging and volume loss
- Fat pad shifting or herniation
- Skin laxity and thinning
- Poor lymphatic drainage
- Genetics
- Lifestyle factors like lack of sleep or dehydration
Some of these can be addressed with topical skincare and lifestyle changes—but if you’re noticing hollowness, crepey skin, or permanent puffiness, it may be time for in-office treatments.
The Power of Undereye Filler
One of the most transformative treatments for undereye hollows and bags is filler—specifically undereye filler made with hyaluronic acid like Restylane, RHA, or Juvederm.
When injected with precision, undereye filler can:
- Reduce the shadowing caused by volume loss
- Smooth the transition between the cheek and eye
- Brighten tired eyes without overfilling
At Peace Love Tox, we often combine cheek filler or midface filler with undereye injections to provide structural support and a natural lift. No puffiness. No ducky distortion. Just a refreshed, rested look.
PRP for Dark Circles and Crepey Skin
If your undereye concern is more about skin quality—think dark circles, fine lines, or a crepey appearance—PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is your best friend.
This treatment uses your own plasma, packed with growth factors, to:
- Stimulate collagen
- Improve pigmentation
- Strengthen thin skin
- Increase elasticity
We typically recommend a series of treatments for best results, and PRP can be injected or combined with microneedling for even more rejuvenation.
Smooth + Tighten with Microneedling and Radiofrequency
When skin laxity is the main issue, collagen remodeling is key. Treatments like microneedling (with or without PRP) and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can help tighten loose skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines under the eyes.
Benefits include:
- Smoother skin texture
- Reduced crepiness
- Firmer, more youthful undereyes
- Long-term collagen stimulation
These treatments don’t add volume, so they’re great for patients who have puffiness rather than hollowness.
Don’t Sleep on Skincare
While in-office procedures offer fast, noticeable results, a consistent skincare routine keeps your results going strong. We recommend medical-grade products like ZO Skin Health to address pigment, dryness, and skin laxity under the eyes.
Look for ingredients like:
- Retinol (in low concentrations) to boost cell turnover
- Peptides to support collagen production
- Caffeine to reduce puffiness
- Niacinamide to brighten
Pairing great skincare with in-clinic treatments creates a long-term strategy for fresher, younger-looking eyes.
Not Sure Which Treatment You Need?
Here’s a quick cheat sheet to guide you:
If you’re dealing with…
- Hollowing or dark shadows: Try undereye filler + cheek filler
- Crepey texture or fine lines: Go for PRP + microneedling
- Loose skin and mild puffiness: Consider RF microneedling or smooth PDO threads
- Pigmentation and dark circles: Combine PRP, skin care, and chemical peels
