Dark circles under eyes are a common problem. These can result in a
tired and dull appearance even though you may be full of energy. So what
causes them?
Dark circles may actually be due to excess
pigmentation in the skin under the eyes. This is more common among dark
Asians. It can sometimes be due to underlying medical problems,
nutritional deficiencies or due to congestion caused by allergies or hay
fever etc.
The vast majority of suffers however, do not have any
underlying medical problem. The usual cause is not true dark circles but
such appearance due to shadows cast by overhead light. The medical name
for this is naso-jugal grove or more commonly referred to as ‘Tear
troughs’.
Tear troughs is the area where the lower eyelid stops
and the cheek begins. The skin along this area is attached to the
underlying bone by a dense ligament. Young plump skin and underlying
tissue hides it. This however changes as your 30s and 40s roll on. Skin,
soft tissue and even underlying bone of this area change and shadows
start to appear. Sometimes this can be a result of surgery in this
area.
So what can be done for tear trough correction?
