What to do when you look tired?

Do you ever look in the mirror and think: I look more tired than I feel? You are not alone. Fatigue is often the first thing that appears on our faces — even if you're still bursting with energy inside.

What to do when you look tired?

Fatigue can be caused by stress, a busy life, broken nights, or an imbalance in your health. And while you may be holding your own, sometimes your skin reveals a different story. Dull complexion, dark circles, sagging contours: these are signs of skin that could use some extra attention.

Fortunately, there are treatments that soothe the visible signs of fatigue and enhance your natural appearance — without changing it.

What happens to your skin when you are tired?

Tired skin occurs because blood circulation slows down, waste products are removed less well and collagen production decreases. This leads to:

  • Dark circles and puffy eyes
  • Dull, sallow skin
  • Decreased firmness and elasticity
  • Finer lines and loss of volume

With the right approach, we can restore balance and let your face speak the way you really feel.

“I want to get the tiredness out of my face, that's why I came to Aēstec today for the Aēslift™.” - Evelyn (45)

What are effective treatments for a tired appearance?

1. The Aēslift™: your whole face in balance

The Aēslift™ is our most popular treatment: a science-based treatment that treats multiple areas at the same time. Think of a tighter jawline, restored volume and a refreshing effect around the eyes. The benefits:

  • Natural-looking results with no visible signs of surgery
  • Works in the deeper layers of the skin and strengthens the contours from within
  • Sustainable effect (12-24 months)
  • Personalised treatment plan tailored to your face
“Last November, I had an Aēslift,” she says. “The result exceeds all my expectations. I look rested and softer, exactly what I was hoping for. Now, one year later, it's still beautiful.”

2. Aēstec hydration treatment: deeper hydration

Tired skin is often dehydrated. The Aēstec hydration treatment is a hydrating skin booster based on pure hyaluronic acid:

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production
  • Improves skin texture
  • Provides a healthy glow

3. Fillers: volume, hydration and balance

With hyaluronic acid fillers, we bring subtle volume back to areas where it has disappeared, for example:

  • Cheeks that have sagged a bit
  • Nasolabial folds that deepen when tired
  • Supported by a lifting effect of the contours

At Aēstec, we apply fillers with precision, always with an eye for naturalness and refreshment.

4. Botox: soothes tension, strengthens openness

Botox relaxes overactive muscles and soothes facial lines, such as:

  • Frown lines and forehead lines
  • Crow's feet
  • A tired or angry look due to drooping eyebrows

The result: a fresh, accessible and relaxed look — without loss of expression.

“Wow! You look rested again!” is what Patty often hears.

The power

Sometimes the difference lies in a small treatment. Sometimes in a combination. That's why at Aēstec, we always start with a consultation where we look at your wishes, facial structure and phase of life together. Our doctors provide honest, substantiated advice and in line with who you are — and want to be.
