Under eye hollowness

[Kelse789]

Anyone every tried polynucleotides or skin boosters to help with undereye hollowness? It's an expensive treatment but I'm desperate for something that works, but don't want to try tear trough filler. I don't think even surgery would work as I don't have bags just hollows and I look awful.

Watching with interest as am in same boat. Look so drained all the time. Why don't you want to try tear trough fillers? I'm vaguely contemplating them but haven't looked into it properly yet

I also have this. I watched an interesting video on tear trough fillers by an experienced practitioner about his research and tbh it put me right off!! Something about how the muscles are attached so some fillers weren't working.

Not heard of these treatments, will look up but mainly as a fleeting interest as tbh my life won't change very much if the angle of my facial skin changes.

OP- I tried polynucleotide injections for neck and lower face. Gave up after one session of three. Horrible great blebs took 5 days to fade.

I've been reading up a bit on tear trough fillers and seems to have quite inconsistent results plus the risks of filler migrating. I don't know what the alternatives are, other than just avoiding the mirror!! I wondered about the skin boosters etc as an alternative but they are so pricey. My hollows are pretty severe so I just don't know what can be done.

Oh that's not so good. Was there any improvement whatsoever or was it impossible to tell due to the blebs forming?

@StumbleInTheDebris It's the risks of tear trough that out me off. But alos spending £££'s on a treatment that might not make much difference puts me off. Love to hear of anyone who has had the under eye boosters.

So I had year trough fillers for years and they were AMAZING. Theni had an allergic reaction and ended up.with fluid pockets around my eyes. Had to have everything -painfully and expensively-dissolved.
I now have a bit of filler on the outside of my eyes and it takes the worst of the hollowness away. That, along with polynucleotides and some hyaluronic acid/collagen skin pumper makes my eyes look ok. Id much prefer tear trough fillers again but too scared of stretching my skin further.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear you had a bad reaction to the fillers. Wish I had a magic wand to sort my undereyes out. So I take it the hyaluronic acid plumpers aren't as noticeable an effect as you'd hoped?

I have this, very hollow and thin under eye skin, hereditary since I was probably 12. Because I’ve had it so long I’ve just embraced them as something that gives an edge to
my face. It’s a lack of fat in that area, so other than treatments proven to improve the appearance and thicken the skin (the latter will only do so over years of use e.g. peptides), I don’t imagine there is anything topical that will make a large difference. When I use bronzing drops on my face I look a bit less ill/tired but obviously the bags are still there. My mum got filler in the centre of her face - space below the hollow next to the nose which raised the overall surface and improved the look. But alternatively you can just dare to ignore that beauty standard that needs everything polished - confidence is the sexiest thing of all ! X

@Kelse789 the polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid injections are actually very good but it's an expensive regime. The 3 course of polynucleotides was around £400-450, the hyaluronic is about £40. It doesn't plump in the same way either, it more smoothes with a small bit of plumping. The trick is to get a small bit of strategically placed filler too as this will make the hollows less obvious.
Don't discount tear trough fillers. Id love them again but can't risk it. You get what you pay for. The best I ever had was around £450.
I have spent an absolute fortune to try and resolve my hollows through the years. Nothing is ever a permanent fix so if you start you have to be prepared to keep investing.

I only had one of the three treatments, so hard to say. If I had had all three maybe, having googled it, opinions vary as to whether it makes any discernible difference. I just couldn’t tolerate looking like I had mpox, and couldn’t go out for 5 days. The clinic said my experience was normal, but I couldn’t go through that again!

I have this issue, I've been using this. My be my imagination but I think it's making a difference.

@Bignanna that is definitely not normal. Swelling in the injection sites is to be expected but the practitioner has either not injected correctly (gone too deep or too close to the surface) or you've had a nasty reaction.

Also watching with interest. I've received a mixed bag of feedback. Some swear by polynucleotides but most seem to get these blebs? I'd need to take annual leave.

I microneedle every six weeks, have biannual botox and use Monderma nightly tret. It might be too much to PN.

But they said that was to be expected! It certainly put me off having more. Good job I didn’t have injections all over my face! It’s put me off having other procedures like microneedling, which I had been considering.

Watching this thread with interest - I’m generally happy with my appearance except for my crepey saggy under eyes, which I’ve had since forever and seem to be genetic. Every time I see myself in harsh light my confidence gets a little more crushed. I’ve been using the RevitalEyes red light and micro current device, but not sure if it’s really been helping. Would love to make sure I’m trying everything possible!

I’ve used polynucleotides in the eye and jawline area - in fact I just had a treatment today. I’ve found them to be fab, and worked better than tear trough fillers under my eyes. The tiny lumps disappear very quickly ime.
