Dark under-eye circles are a common concern for many individuals, often causing frustration and self-consciousness. As aesthetic physicians, we at Trikwan Aesthetic understand the impact these circles can have on one’s confidence and appearance. In this blog, we’ll explore the top three causes of dark under-eye circles and provide actionable solutions to address them effectively.

1. Genetics

 

Genetics play a significant role in how our under-eye area appears. For some people, inheriting thinner skin or heightened pigmentation in this region can accentuate dark circles. Additionally, elements like bone structure and facial anatomy also play a part in creating the shadowing effect under the eyes.

Although we can’t alter our genetics, there are effective solutions to diminish the appearance of dark under-eye circles. Dermal fillers, such as those containing hyaluronic acid, offer a way to replenish lost volume and conceal dark circles by minimizing shadowing. Teosyal Redensity 2 is a notable example, being the only dermal filler specifically formulated for the under-eye area. It includes 15 additional ingredients, including antioxidants, which help improve the appearance of the delicate under-eye skin while adding volume. By skillfully administering fillers in the tear trough region, we can achieve a refreshed under-eye look, enhancing facial symmetry and vitality.

 

2. Lack of Sleep and Fatigue

 

Insufficient sleep and chronic fatigue can really highlight those pesky dark under-eye circles. When we skimp on rest, the blood vessels beneath the delicate skin around our eyes tend to widen, making those circles look darker and more noticeable. On top of that, feeling fatigued often leads to retaining fluids, which can cause puffiness and swelling under the eyes, making those circles even more prominent.

To combat this, it’s essential to focus on improving our sleep habits and managing our energy levels. Setting up a consistent sleep routine, winding down with a calming bedtime ritual, and cutting back on screen time before hitting the hay can all contribute to better sleep quality. And when it comes to tackling fatigue, incorporating stress-relief practices like meditation or yoga can work wonders in boosting energy and preventing fluid retention.

When it comes to skincare, there are some handy tricks too. Look for products with caffeine or vitamin C, as they can help tighten blood vessels and brighten up the under-eye area, gradually reducing the appearance of those stubborn dark circles.

 

3. Sun Exposure and Aging

 

Overdoing it in the sun can fast-track the wear and tear of collagen and elastin in your skin, especially around the under-eye zone. As time rolls on, our skin becomes more vulnerable to the elements and struggles to bounce back like it used to. This leaves us susceptible to the pesky trio: fine lines, wrinkles, and those dark circles that just won’t quit.

But fear not, guarding that delicate under-eye skin from the sun’s wrath is key to keeping it looking fresh and youthful. Make SPF your best friend, opting for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every single day, rain or shine. This shields your skin from those harmful UV rays, stalling premature aging in its tracks. And if you’re serious about turning back the clock, consider adding retinol-based goodies to your skincare lineup. They’re like little encouragers for your skin, nudging it to produce more collagen and smoothing out those troublesome lines and circles.

For those stubborn signs of aging that just won’t budge, there are some nifty non-invasive treatments to consider. Think laser therapy or radiofrequency microneedling – they work wonders in tightening up loose skin and breathing new life into tired eyes, leaving you looking as refreshed and vibrant as ever.

What our patients really think...

The most professional, down to earth, friendly aestheticians I could of wished for. I was pretty hesitant to get anything done to my face as I didn’t want the typical over done ‘instagram’ look.

I wasn’t pressured into doing anything outright and was told about all the possible options I could take and the differences between them and what would suit me. I have had two sessions and over that time, I am beyond pleased with the the results! Dr Zoya has masterfully kept my face the same but just enhanced and corrected things certain in places.

Would definitely recommend if you want a realistic, subtle, natural yet major improvement to any problem areas.

Visited Trikwan today in London from NYC and it was such a pleasure. Tammy the office manager was so super helpful and nice, she made the whole booking process very easy and was happy to answer any/ all questions. Both Drs were amazing, friendly and professional. They really took the time to work with me and discuss all my needs and wants. I highly recommend this establishment and will be going back! A+
