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.

Treatment Options

AestheFill is an emerging trend of injectable filler that stimulates collagen production in the deep dermis for firming, lifting and improvement of overall skin quality.

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. Dermal filler can add volume to sunken areas under the eye and at the same time mask the appearance of eye bags. 

INDIBA is a non-invasive and pain-free tightening treatment that uses patented radiofrequency(RF). The RF stimulates the production of collagen and elastin that are important for the skin to produce fresher and brighter eyes.
