If you are starting to see dark under eyes that are making you look more tired or older than your actual age, you might want to consider dark circles treatment in Leicester.
Our team of qualified doctors at The One Clinic in Leicester offers dermal filler treatment, a safe and effective way to tackle dark circles and eye bags. Also known as tear trough treatment, dermal fillers help to add volume to sunken under eyes, whilst also hydrating and brightening the skin in the tear trough area.
Your journey to more youthful under eyes starts with a tear trough filler consultation. This is where we can assess your skin concerns and create a bespoke treatment plan to help you say goodbye to dark circles and enhance your natural beauty.

What causes dark circles?
There is more than one factor that can lead to under-eye circles appearing. One of the most common causes of dark shadows and eye bags is ageing.
As we grow older, our skin becomes thin and more fragile, especially in the under-eye area. This leads to the blood vessels under the skin becoming more visible, which makes the skin tissue in the under-eye area appear darker.
Another common cause of dark circles is not getting enough sleep. Not only can this result in dull and lifeless skin, but it can also cause fluid to build up in the tear troughs, which creates a puffy appearance. It also decreases the amount of oxygen in your blood, which leads to blood vessels becoming more visible.
Other causes of dark eye circles include:
- Too much sun exposure – which causes the body to produce excess melanin
- Genetics – if dark circles are prevalent in your family
- Allergies – which lead to histamines being released and eyes becoming itchy, red and puffy
- Illness or disease – especially chronic liver disease, which stops the liver from removing toxins from the blood
- Dehydration – not drinking enough water can make your under eyes look dull
How can I fix my dark eye circles with dermal filler treatment?
At The One Clinic in Leicester, we offer dermal fillers (also known as tear trough filler) to reduce dark circles. If you start tear trough treatment early enough, it can also help to improve skin quality in that area.
What are dermal fillers for the tear trough
Dermal fillers or tear trough fillers are a popular injectable treatment for both men and women. They consist of a gel-like substance that contains hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance found in the skin, which helps to keep it hydrated and looking plump.
As we age, we lose levels of hyaluronic acid which is why our skin starts to look dull, sag and fine lines and wrinkles form. Tear trough filler treatment helps to boost levels of this substance in the skin, adding volume and refreshing the under-eye area.
Dermal fillers can also stimulate new collagen production in your skin over time. This will help keep your skin strong and improve its elasticity.
What happens during tear trough fillers?
You will meet with one of our doctors who will talk you through your treatment options. Tear trough fillers take no longer than 30 minutes to complete, which means you will be able to fit them in between your work day.
Your doctor will first cleanse the injection area and use a local anaesthetic cream to help numb the area. There is only a mild discomfort with this treatment which comes from the injection into the skin, but the numbing cream will help to ease this and make the process more pleasant.
After your treatment
Dermal filler starts to work straight away, which means you will start to see a visible reduction in your dark circles after your treatment. For the full results to show, you need to allow the fillers to settle fully, which takes two weeks.
Immediately after your treatment, the skin around the injection sites may be slightly red and swollen. You may also see some mild bruising. This is completely normal and will go down in 24-28 hours.
How long will my tear trough filler results last?
Most patients will enjoy brighter-looking eyes for 12-18 months. How long your results last will depend on factors such as how fast your metabolism breaks down the fillers and your diet and lifestyle. Your doctor will provide advice on how to get the most out of your treatment and help your results last.
To maintain your results in the long term, you will need to come back in for a top-up appointment at around the 12-month mark.
