What Causes Dark Circles under the eyes?

Hollow under-eyes, commonly referred to as “tear trough”, is the inner portion of the lower eyelid depression.

• As we age, there is a natural decrease in fatty tissue under the lower eyelid and upper cheek area. The skin and muscles of the lower lid slowly lose elasticity and no longer remain tightly secured in place. These changes can eventually cause the tear trough () to become puffy or bulge away from the face. When the tissue under the eye pushes outward, “bags” begin to develop.

• Hereditary factors can contribute to early onset of dark circles under the eyes in very young people.

• In some ethnicities, dark circles are caused by darker pigment in your skin. Not sure how to tell? Hold a mirror and look up so that bright overhead lighting hits you directly. If the shadow disappears, your dark circle is caused by a hollow. If the color is still there, it’s pigment. The only effective solution for under eyes pigmentation is applying a concealer.

Dr. Assassa employs a unique, safe, non-invasive method for eliminating hollow eye syndrome and bags under the eyes. Using an injectable filler called RESTYLANE®, he evens out the plane beneath the eye, filling in the depression between the cheek and the eyelid. This eliminates the shadow that creates the dark appearance and improves the appearance of protruding lids. In some cases where the cheeks are deflated, filling the cheeks with a more supportive filler will be performed to enhance the results. Over time, RESTYLANE® stimulates the body’s natural collagen production in the areas where it is injected. The results last one year or more and patients typically return with depressions much shallower than when they started. The tear trough is a very tricky area.
