What are dark circles under eyes ?
Dark circles under the eyes (Tear troughs), are a common concern affecting people of all ages. While often associated with fatigue, they can have various underlying causes.
Knowing these causes and exploring treatment options can empower you to address this concern and achieve a refreshed appearance.
Consulting a qualified aesthetic practitioner at Yorkshire Skin Centre is crucial to determine the underlying cause of your tear troughs and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
We can also advise on potential risks and provide personalised guidance.
Causes of Dark Circles
Volume loss
As we age, the natural fat pads beneath the eyes diminish, creating shadows and hollows that appear as dark circles.
Hyperpigmentation
Increased melanin production in the under-eye area can contribute to a darker appearance. This can be triggered by genetics, sun exposure, certain medical conditions, or allergies.
Thinning skin
The delicate skin under the eyes becomes thinner over time, making underlying blood vessels are more visible and contribute to a darker shade.
Lifestyle factors
Inadequate sleep, dehydration, stress, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can worsen the appearance of tear troughs.
Treatment for Dark Circles (Tear Trough)
Dermal Fillers
Injectable fillers like hyaluronic acid can restore lost volume under the eyes, smoothing out hollows and reducing the darkness.

Lasers
These treatments can stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, potentially reducing the visibility of dark circles.

What they say about us
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions :
What causes tear troughs besides fatigue?
While lack of sleep can aggravate them, tear troughs can arise from various factors like:
- Volume loss: Fat pads shrink with age, causing shadows and hollows.
- Hyperpigmentation: Increased melanin production darkens the area due to genetics, sun exposure, allergies, or medical conditions.
- Thin skin: Thinning skin makes underlying blood vessels more visible, creating a darker appearance.
Lifestyle factors: Stress, dehydration, smoking, and excessive alcohol can worsen them.
Which treatment option is best for me?
The ideal treatment depends on the root cause and severity of your tear troughs. A dermatologist or aesthetic professional can assess your individual case and recommend the most suitable approach.
Are topical creams effective?
Eye creams with retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or caffeine can improve hydration, address hyperpigmentation, and minimise shadow appearance. However, their effectiveness varies depending on the cause and severity of your dark circles.
Are fillers safe?
Hyaluronic acid fillers for tear troughs are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified professional. However, potential side effects like bruising, swelling, or temporary bumps exist. Consultation and understanding potential risks are crucial.
Do lasers and microneedling hurt?
These procedures can cause mild discomfort, but topical numbing cream is often used to minimise it. Discuss pain management options with your provider.
Is surgery the only option for severe cases?
Not necessarily. Minimally invasive procedures like fillers or lasers can be effective for some severe cases. Blepharoplasty is typically considered when significant skin laxity or bulging requires surgical intervention.
Can I prevent tear troughs?
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with sufficient sleep, hydration, stress management, and sun protection can significantly reduce the risk of developing or worsening tear troughs.
Are there any natural remedies for tear troughs?
Certain home remedies like cold compresses or cucumber slices might offer temporary relief for puffiness. However, they don’t address the underlying causes and may not be effective for everyone.
Will treatment results be permanent?
The longevity of results depends on the chosen treatment. Fillers typically last 6-18 months, while lasers and microneedling require multiple sessions for sustained improvement. Lifestyle changes offer long-term benefits but require ongoing commitment.
