What causes dark eye circles?

AS WE AGE, OUR SKIN BECOMES THINNER AND COLLAGEN LOSS OCCURS.

Most of us are bothered by the appearance of dark circles as they tend to make us look tired and older than we actually are.

As we age, our skin becomes thinner and collagen loss occurs. This phenomenon enhances the appearance of blood vessels beneath our eyes, which makes our under-eye area darker. In addition, conditions such as fluid imbalance or local swelling can also create shadows that make our under-eye appear darker. 

 

With appropriate treatment, it is possible to: 

  • Reduce dark eye circles
  • Smoothen the area under the eyes
  • Obtain a refreshed appearance 

A personal consultation with the doctor is required prior to any treatment, in order to create a customized plan that will ensure optimal results for you. 

Do Late nights and Lack of sleep cause dark eye rings?

Many of us have dark rings under our eyes. For each one of us, there are many factors that cause this. The weightage of each contributing factor varies person to person. Genetics, decreased lymphatic drainage, insufficient sleep, underlying sensitive skin and sinus problems, frequent rubbing of the eyes, fragility of skin under eyes are some possible factors.
