No matter how much makeup you pack on, if you’re exhausted, there’s no stopping your face from showing it to the world. Tiredness is a state that is so natural that not even synthetic coverups can mask it. One of the most common problems that surface during periods of stress and sleeplessness are dark circles under eyes.
Dark circles under the eyes may have many different causes. Obvious ones include lack of sleep over a prolonged period of time; different skin colouration and pigmentation and sometimes an underlying illness. These tend to be relatively obvious and patients will often complain that they don’t want to end up looking like their mother or father with their genetically dark under-eyes.
There can be other treatable causes though and I’m going to work through some of these below and the possible causes and treatments.
As we age and sometimes even when we’re young, puffy eyes and dark circles can be a hassle. Under eye circles and puffiness can be cause by a number of factors ranging from genetics or poor lymphatic drainage to sleeping position and even a poor pillow. Before even considering any sort of surgical procedure or chemical injection, consider some of the best all natural alternatives around. Many of these treatments have been around for years and some of them are just popping up, but they all have one thing in common; they can effectively reduce puffy eyes and dark circles, without any harsh side effects or the need to go under the knife.
After many years of experience, and over 2400 laser eyelid rejuvenation procedures called blepharoplasty my understanding of the condition often referred to as dark circles under the eyes has evolved to, I believe, a better understanding of this common condition and a newer more effective surgical strategy for the correction of dark circles under eyes.

Dark circles under the eyes has often been referred to as the tear trough deformity or crescent deformity but experience particularly with tear trough implants designed to correct the tear trough deformity has often failed to correct dark circles under the eyes, particularly the portion of the dark circle under the eye near the nose, often the deepest and most troubling part of the dark circle under the eye.
Millions of people have dark circles under their eyes. The causes of this condition vary, and there is great confusion about what actually causes dark eyelid skin and depressions, called circles, beneath the lower eyelid. Exciting, effective, new laser and light treatments are available. However, before I talk about how to correct the problem I want to make sure you understand what causes dark circles under your eyes. The cause will determine which laser or light treatment is best for you.

Effective treatment for removal of dark circles under the eyes must be directed at the underlying cause of the dark circles. Millions of people complain of dark circles under the eyes but the underlying cause of the dark circles varies greatly. Treatments for dark circles that do not correct the underlying cause of the dark circle do not work. There is an incredible array of treatments for dark circles including cucumber slices, tea bags, vanishing creams, bleaching creams, lasers, surgery, more sleep, avoid TV and computer, drink 2 liters of water a day etc, yet few of these regimens seem to be directed at the underlying cause of the dark circles under the eyes.
Many people of all ages complain of dark circles under their eyes. The phrase “dark circles under the eyes” is used to describe a wide variety of different conditions, but the phrase dark circles under the eyes refers to a very specific anatomical condition of the lower eyelids that is easy to diagnose and readily corrected by modern techniques. However, many people who complain of dark circles under their eyes frequently have a condition more appropriately termed “hollow eyes’ which is a distinct anatomical condition very different from dark circles under the eyes. Recognition of the “hollow eye syndrome” is very important because the technique frequently used to treat “dark circles under the eyes” does not correct the hollow eye look and can actually make the ‘hollow eye syndrome’ worse.
Blepharoplasty is a plastic surgical operation done on the eyelids to remove loose skin or hooding of the upper eyelids and also to remove “bags” from the lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery operations done in the United States and has traditionally been done on people over 40 who feel their eyes have aged and are making them look older or tired.
