If you have ever had a bout of poor sleep or been out too late at night, you know that dark circles are a sign of being exhausted. In these cases, though, dark circles typically resolve with some hydration, food and good sleep. If you always have dark circles under your eyes, lifestyle changes may not do the trick. Discuss your concerns with Dr. Lewen, and he may recommend tear trough fillers for dark circles.

What Causes Chronic Dark Circles Under the Eyes?

The dark coloration under your eye is caused by thinning skin that allows the blood vessels and underlying tissues to show through the skin. The tear trough area between the top of your cheek and lower eyelid is highly vascular, meaning that there are a multitude of small vessels that carry blood to the face and eyes. The skin in this area is also very delicate, so the tear trough is more susceptible to revealing these vessels than other areas of your face.

How Do Facial Fillers Help with Dark Circles?

Facial fillers contain ingredients that add volume to the skin, either by stimulating collagen or increasing the amount of water with hyaluronic acid. This additional volume creates a deeper space between the surface of the skin and the network of blood vessels to hide the anatomical structures that cause dark circles. The fillers also help with any sunken appearance to the tear trough and bags under the eyes.

Who Can Perform Fillers for the Tear Trough?

Although dermal fillers are commonplace, few practitioners have the knowledge and expertise that is needed to appropriately perform tear trough fillers. Choosing an inexperienced injector to perform the procedure may result in damage to the nerves, delicate muscles and tiny blood vessels. As an oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Lewen has an in-depth understanding of these structures, and performs the injections in the safest and most effective way possible. You may have some minor swelling, tenderness, tightness and minor bleeding, but these symptoms are common with any injectable dermal filler.

What to Expect After Tear Trough Fillers for Dark Circles

The benefits of tear trough fillers last at least several months before you need a follow-up treatment. Protecting your eye area from sun damage and using high-quality skin care designed for the delicate skin of the eyes may extend the longevity of your results. Dr. Lewen may recommend complementary treatments to further improve the skin around your eye area to give you a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
