Tired-Looking Skin? How to Treat Under-Eye Circles Without Surgery

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Why do I still look tired, even after a good night’s sleep?” Then you’re not alone. Dark circles, hollow under-eyes, and crepey skin around the eye area are some of the most common concerns we see at our doctor-led aesthetic clinic in Hale, Altrincham.

The good news? You don’t need surgery or even dermal filler to brighten and smooth this delicate area. At our clinic in Cheshire, we take a regenerative, natural approach using polynucleotides and the skin booster NCTF (New Cellular Treatment Factor) to revive tired under-eyes with results that look fresh, not filled.

Why do Under-Eyes Look Tired?

The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your face, which means it’s often the first area to show signs of fatigue and ageing. Common causes of under-eye circles and hollows include:

• Volume loss (from ageing or genetics)

• Pigmentation or thin skin showing underlying vessels

• Dehydration or skin laxity

• Poor circulation or stress

Each of these factors can make you look older, tired, or less vibrant, regardless of how you actually feel.

Why We Don’t Offer Tear Trough Filler at Our Clinic

While tear trough fillers (usually hyaluronic acid-based) are heavily promoted online, they’re not always the safest or most suitable option. In fact, at our Hale clinic, we choose not to offer tear trough filler and here’s why:

• The under-eye area is high-risk for complications, including swelling, puffiness, or even vascular issues if poorly placed.

• Filler can sometimes migrate, creating long-term puffiness or unnatural shadows.

• Not all “tired eyes” are caused by volume loss, mostly it’s pigmentation, skin quality, or circulation that needs to be addressed.

As a doctor-led clinic, we believe in treating the cause, not just the symptom, which is why we favour regenerative approaches for safer, more natural results.

Under-Eye Rejuvenation in Hale: Our Preferred Treatments

We focus on two advanced, evidence-backed treatments to improve skin quality, hydration, and cellular repair in the under-eye area:

Polynucleotides (The New Gold Standard)

Polynucleotides are powerful biostimulators that support tissue regeneration, collagen production, and healing. Unlike filler, which adds volume, polynucleotides improve the quality of your skin from the inside out.

Benefits:

• Stimulates fibroblasts and collagen

• Improves crepey, thin skin

• Reduces pigmentation and under-eye shadows

• Hydrates deeply without puffiness

• Perfect for delicate under-eye skin

How many sessions?

A course of 3–4 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart for an induction.

NCTF Eye Rejuvenation

NCTF® (New Cellular Treatment Factor) is a French skin booster packed with 50+ active ingredients, think hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, all injected superficially into the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, and tone.

Benefits:

• Targets fine lines and dullness

• Brightens tired, dehydrated eyes

• Helps reduce pigmentation and uneven tone

• Supports ongoing skin health

Is there downtime?

Minimal. The tiny papules may be visible for 24 hours post-treatment but fade quickly.

Which One Is Right for You?

At your consultation, we’ll assess whether polynucleotides or NCTF, or a combination of both are best suited to your eye area. In some cases, we may also recommend complementary treatments like LED light therapy, gentle peels, or medical-grade skincare for long-term results.
