What causes it
What causes Dark Eye Circles?
Aging
As we age, the loss of collagen, elastin, and fat pads around the eyes can cause the under-eye area to appear more hollow. This may increase the amount of shadow cast, contributing to the appearance of dark eye circles
Genetic
Some individuals may be more susceptible to developing dark circles due to their genetics. This can be caused by factors such as thin or transparent skin around the eyes, which allows underlying blood vessels to become more visible.
Fatigue
Fatigue and lack of sleep can cause the skin around the eyes to appear dull, making dark circles more noticeable.
Dehydration
When the body is not properly hydrated, the skin beneath the eyes can appear dull, and the eyes may appear more hollow due to their close proximity to the underlying bone.
Sun exposure
Sun exposure can damage the skin and contribute to the appearance of dark circles by increasing melanin production. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the color of the skin.
Dark eye circles can be improved with proper skincare, hydration and aesthetic treatments.
Dark Eye Circle Treatment Options
Dermal filler is a gel-like substance injected beneath the skin, with Hyaluronic acid (HA) as its main ingredient. The HA in dermal filler can attract water to the under-eye area, providing hydration that may help reduce the appearance of dark eye circles. Dermal filler can also add volume to sunken areas beneath the eyes.
