Dark circles under the eyes are a common concern for many individuals seeking cosmetic enhancement. “Under eye dermal fillers are popular for reducing the appearance of dark circles and under eye hollows. But an improperly placed filler will actually make dark circles look worse than before“, says Dr. Niketa Sonavane, top dermatologist in Mumbai, India and founder of Ambrosia Aesthetics. One of the key factors why this happens is the ‘Tyndall effect’.

What is the Tyndall effect, and how it relates to under eye dermal fillers?

John Tyndall was a scientist who first discovered the Tyndall Effect. He found that when light passes through a transparent substance with suspended particles, the substance scatters light in a peculiar way. This makes the substance appear cloudy or have a blue tint.

In the context of under eye filler, the Tyndall effect occurs when light encounters the filler material beneath the skin. Most dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain hydration and volume in the skin. However, “when injected too close to the skin or in excessive amounts, the filler can create a bluish or grayish discoloration under the eyes and make dark circles look worse than before”, says Dr. Niketa Sonavane.

Why does the Tyndall effect result in the appearance of dark circles?

The skin under the eyes is relatively thin and translucent, allowing underlying structures to be more visible. When light passes through the filler material, it scatters and reflects the light in a peculiar way. This accentuates the bluish hue of the underlying blood vessels and tissues. This can give the appearance of increased darkness under the eyes, even though the intention of the filler was to provide volume and smoothness.

How an Expert Dermatologist Avoids Tyndall Effect

“I follow various precautions to prevent the Tyndall effect and minimize the risk of exacerbating dark circles”, says Dr. Niketa Sonavane.

Injection Technique: Proper injection technique is essential. We must place the filler at the appropriate depth within the skin. For under eye dermal fillers injections, the filler should be placed deep enough. This is to avoid visibility through the skin while still providing adequate volume enhancement.
Volume and Concentration: Using the appropriate volume and concentration of filler is essential to achieve natural-looking results. Overfilling or using highly concentrated fillers can increase the risk of the Tyndall effect.
Choose the Right Filler: Not all dermal fillers are created equal. Some formulations are specifically designed for use in delicate under eye area. These have properties that minimize the risk of the Tyndall effect.
Consultation and Follow-up: A thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced injector is essential to discuss your concerns and goals. Regular follow-up appointments allow for adjustments as needed to ensure optimal results.

RF Treatments

Certain RF treatments, such as Venus Freeze, can help reduce the tyndall by dissolving the filler as well as targeting the underlying pigmentation or stimulating collagen production in the skin. Your dermatologist can recommend the most suitable laser treatment based on your skin type and specific concerns.

Under Eye Color Corrector and Concealer

In the interim while undergoing corrective treatments, consider using makeup techniques to camouflage the appearance of dark circles. Opt for color-correcting concealers with peach or orange undertones to neutralize the bluish or grayish discoloration, followed by a concealer matched to your skin tone for seamless coverage.

Patience and Follow-up

Correcting the Tyndall effect may require multiple treatment sessions and some patience as your skin heals and responds to the interventions. Stay in close communication with your dermatologist, and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

Under eye dermal fillers can be effective for addressing hollows and rejuvenating the under eye area. But improper selection of the filler or improper injection technique can cause worsening of dark circles instead of improvement. By understanding the underlying causes and taking appropriate precautions, both patients and dermatologists can work together to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
