Why Do I Look Tired? (It Might Not Be Lack of Sleep)

You look tired.
It is the three word phrase we all hate hearing, especially when we have actually had a full eight hours of sleep.
If you constantly look exhausted, no matter how much coffee you drink or concealer you apply, the issue is often anatomical, not lifestyle related. As we age, structural changes in the face contribute to the shadowy, tired appearance.
Here are the three main reasons you look tired, and how we fix them at Auracle Medical Aesthetics.

1. The Tear Trough Hollow

Under the eyes, we have fat pads that shrink and move downwards as we age. This creates a hollow groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek, known as the tear trough.

• The Fix: Dermal fillers. By placing a precise amount of filler in the hollow, or in the cheek to support the area, we can smooth the transition and erase the shadow.

2. Thinning Skin and Dark Circles

Sometimes the problem is not a hollow, but the skin itself. The skin under the eyes is the thinnest on the body. As it becomes thinner with age, the dark blood vessels beneath become visible, creating a purple or blue tone.

• The Fix: Polynucleotides. This regenerative treatment thickens the skin and improves micro circulation. As the skin becomes stronger and healthier, the dark vessels become less visible.

3. The Heavy Brow

If the forehead muscles are overactive or losing elasticity, the eyebrows can begin to drop. This makes the eyelids look heavy and the eyes appear smaller and more tired.

• The Fix: Anti wrinkle injections. A subtle chemical brow lift relaxes the muscles pulling the brow downward, opening the eyes for a fresher expression.

Don’t Guess, Diagnose

Treating the eye area is complex. Using filler when someone actually needs skin thickening can lead to puffiness. This is why a medical assessment is essential.
At Auracle Medical Aesthetics Medical Aesthetics, our Advanced Clinical Practitioner will assess exactly why you look tired and prescribe the right treatment to restore brightness and vitality.
