What causes it
What causes Dark Eye Circles?
Aging
With age, there is loss of collagen, elastin and fat pads around the eyes causing the under eye to become sunken. Therefore, there is an increase in the amount of shadow being cast leading to the impression of having dark eye circles.
Genetic
Some people are simply more prone to developing dark circles due to their genes. This can be due to factors such as thin or transparent skin around the eyes, which allows underlying blood vessels to show through more easily.
Fatigue
Fatigue and lack of sleep causes the skin around our eyes to look tired and dull. This can make dark circles more noticeable.
Dehydration
When our body is not well hydrated, the skin beneath the eyes begins to look dull and the eyes look sunken. This is due to the eyes’ close proximity to the underlying bone.
Sun exposure
Sun exposure can cause skin damage and contribute to the appearance of dark circles by increasing melanin production. Melanin is the pigment that gives colour to our skin.
Dark eye circles can be improved with proper skincare, hydration and aesthetic treatments.
Dark Eye Circle Treatment Options
AestheFill Malaysia is an emerging trend of injectable filler that stimulates collagen production to slow down skin's aging for up to 2 years. AestheFill can help reduce the appearance of dark eye circles by adding volume to sunken areas under the eye.
Dermal filler is a gel-like substance injected beneath the skin where the main ingredient is Hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. The HA in the dermal filler can attract water to the under eye area, providing hydration which then lightens the dark eye circles. Dermal filler can also add volume to sunken areas under the eye.
