The area beneath the eyes, known as the "tear trough," is a sensitive region that often shows signs of aging before other parts of the face. Dark circles, puffiness, and hollowness can create a tired, aged appearance even when you're well-rested. While tear trough rejuvenation can be tricky due to the delicate nature of the skin and the anatomical challenges, Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa offers a variety of advanced treatments to effectively restore a youthful look to this area.

Why Tear Trough Rejuvenation Can Be Challenging?
The tear trough is complex, with thin skin, a lack of supporting muscle, and underlying fat pads that may shift with age. As collagen production decreases and fat pads protrude, the area can look sunken or puffy, contributing to dark circles or visible bags under the eyes. Addressing these issues requires a deep understanding of facial anatomy and precise treatment methods.
At Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa, we pride ourselves on providing a range of state-of-the-art options, performed by highly skilled providers who are experts in tear trough rejuvenation. With our extensive experience, we prioritize patient safety and natural-looking results.
1. Dermal Fillers for Tear Trough Rejuvenation
How It Works:
Dermal fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, are designed to plump up hollow areas under the eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. These fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which helps to add volume and hydrate the skin, restoring a youthful look.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from dermal fillers typically last between 9 to 12 months, depending on the specific filler used and the individual’s metabolism. Periodic touch-ups are required to maintain the effects.
Anticipated Downtime:
There is little to no downtime with dermal fillers. Mild swelling or bruising may occur for a few days post-treatment, but most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
Who Is a Candidate?
Ideal candidates for dermal fillers are individuals with mild to moderate hollowness or dark circles under the eyes, caused by a loss of volume. This treatment is particularly effective for younger patients or those with early signs of aging. Those who prefer a non-surgical solution with immediate results and minimal downtime are excellent candidates.
2. TriLift for Tear Trough Muscle Tightening
How It Works:
TriLift is an innovative, non-surgical treatment designed to target the obicularis oculi muscle, which encircles the eye. By tightening this muscle, TriLift helps to push protruding fat pads back into place, eliminating the puffiness and bags often seen under the eyes.
How Long Do Results Last?
TriLift results typically last for 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity of the issue and the individual’s skin quality. Maintenance treatments every six months can help prolong the effects.
Anticipated Downtime:
There is minimal downtime associated with TriLift. Patients may experience mild swelling or redness for a day or two, but most are able to return to their regular activities almost immediately.
Who Is a Candidate?
TriLift is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate puffiness or under-eye bags caused by weakened muscles. It’s a great option for those who want to tighten the area without surgery. Patients looking for a non-invasive treatment with no significant downtime are excellent candidates for TriLift.
3. Plasma IQ Skin Tightening for Tear Trough Rejuvenation
How It Works:
Plasma IQ uses advanced plasma technology to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening loose or sagging skin under the eyes. This non-surgical method is perfect for improving skin texture and elasticity.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results from Plasma IQ treatments typically last 12 to 18 months, as the skin continues to improve over time. However, the longevity of the results may vary depending on the patient’s skin type and aging process.
Anticipated Downtime:
There is minimal downtime, but patients may experience slight swelling or redness for a few days. Small scabs may form at the treatment site, which usually heal within a week.
Who Is a Candidate?
Plasma IQ is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity under the eyes or those looking to improve the appearance of fine lines. It’s ideal for patients seeking a non-surgical solution to tighten skin without significant downtime. Candidates should have healthy skin with no active infections or severe skin conditions.
4. Fractional CO2 Laser for Tear Trough Resurfacing
How It Works:
The fractional CO2 laser is a powerful skin resurfacing treatment that targets deeper wrinkles, pigmentation, and loose skin around the eyes. The laser creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering collagen production and improving the overall texture and tone of the skin.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from fractional CO2 laser treatments can last up to 2 years, making it one of the longest-lasting solutions for tear trough rejuvenation. However, the skin will continue to age, and maintenance treatments may be necessary after this period.
Anticipated Downtime:
Fractional CO2 laser requires a longer recovery period compared to other non-invasive treatments. Patients can expect redness, swelling, and peeling for up to 10 days. Full results are typically visible after 3 to 4 weeks, with continued improvements over several months.
Who Is a Candidate?
This treatment is ideal for individuals with more advanced signs of aging, including deep wrinkles, significant skin laxity, and hyperpigmentation. Those who are looking for more dramatic, long-term results and are willing to commit to a longer downtime will benefit most from this option.
