Dark Eye Circles

This is just one under-eye issue that can really change the overall appearance of the face. Dark circles can be hereditary but can also be caused by our lifestyle choices such as diet, dehydration and lack of sleep.


Dark Circles, which are often called Tear Troughs, can be caused by lifestyle choices such as dehydration, poor diet and lack of sleep but can also be genetic. Dark circles may also gradually appear darker on one eye more than the other as a result of some habitual facial expressions, such as an uneven smile or sleeping more on one side. They can leave your eyes looking hollow and tired.

As we get older, our skin integrity decreases and fat and bone diminishes causing a reduction in volume under the eye area which leaves the eyes looking dark and sunken. Tear troughs, hollow eyes or dark circles are all related to this ageing process and are a direct result of fat loss which is part of the ageing process, which causes a reduction in volume under the eye area.

A multi-modal treatment approach is best, however, dermal fillers are a popular treatment choice due to providing an immediate improvement in volume. Dermal Fillers work by drawing water to the treatment area, thereby increasing the density of the underlying tissue.

Dark circles are likely to become more noticeable with age. As we get older, a number of changes in the integrity of the skin and underlying fat and bone leads to changes which can include darkening of the under-eye area. One change is that the skin thins and becomes more translucent as it loses collagen. Circles may also gradually begin to appear darker in one eye more than the other as a result of some habitual facial expressions, such as an uneven smile, sleeping more on one side etc. A multi-modal treatment approach is best, however, dermal fillers are a popular option as an immediate improvement in regards to volume loss and darkness can be achieved. They work by drawing in water, thereby increasing the density of the underlying tissue. We also have an award-winning eye serum which most of the Perfect Skin team use to help bring life to your dark circles. Check out our FAQs below for more information.

FAQ

Your assessment will allow the doctor to explain the causes in you specifically. However, a number of contributory factors may exist:

  • Thinning of the skin due to collagen loss
  • Pooling of blood in veins leading to discolouration from breakdown of the blood pigments
  • More apparent blood/vessels due to thinning of the skin
  • Shadow effect secondary to hollowing due to changes in fat and bone support
  • Pigmentation eg from sun damage

A lack of sleep will contribute to your dark circles. We often see this in patients who work night shifts but it is not the only reason for dark circles.

Extreme fatigue, oversleeping, hereditary, puffy eyes (fluid under the eyes can cast shadows) and people with darker skin types tend to suffer more with dark circles.

While it isn’t guaranteed, dark circles can often be something which runs in families and does have a genetic aspect to them. You may also find this is more prominent in those with darker skin tones.

Effective dark circle treatment involves using powerful skincare products with potent active ingredients. Unlike common products, these are designed for better results. Beware of fake products online, as reputable UK distributors supply them only to clinics like ours, ensuring the right match for your skin.
