Under-eye hollows and dark circles
Tired-looking eyes that sleep does not fix.
What's going on
The under-eye area hollows as the fat pads of the mid-face shift, and darkness comes from several different causes — shadow from the hollow, thin skin showing vessels, or genuine pigment. Each has a different answer.
This is why we assess before treating: filler helps a shadow, does nothing for pigment, and can worsen puffiness in the wrong anatomy. The five-minute diagnosis decides everything.
Why it happens
- Mid-face volume shift creating shadow
- Thin skin showing underlying vessels
- True pigmentation, often genetic
- Allergies, sleep and salt showing as puffiness
What can realistically be done
Tear trough assessment
Filler helps only true hollows — we check your anatomy first and decline where it would not help.
Skin boosters
Thicken and hydrate thin under-eye skin over a course.
Laser or needling
For genuine pigment and texture, under Dr Shahid's eye.
What can't
Puffiness and bags are often made worse by filler — a common correction we perform is dissolving under-eye filler that should never have been placed. Honest assessment comes first.
