Causes for Dark Circles Under Eyes and Treatment

Dark circles are dark shadows under the eyes caused by genetics, thinning skin, collagen loss, allergies, fatigue, dehydration, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits. They can make someone look tired, aged, or unhealthy. Various treatments exist, but seeking help from a qualified plastic surgeon may be the best solution for reducing dark circles.

Causes of Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

Dark circles can be caused by genetics, thin or aging skin, excessive melanin production, allergies, fatigue, lifestyle factors, sun exposure, and underlying health conditions. Genetics can lead to thinner skin, hyperpigmentation, allergies, fatigue, poor nutrition, and dehydration, while lifestyle factors like alcohol consumption, smoking, and poor nutrition can contribute to the development of dark circles. Sun exposure can also stimulate melanin production, worsening pigmentation irregularities. Ultimately, dark circles can be a sign of certain health conditions.

How to get rid of dark circles?

Dark circles can be reduced through various treatments, including surgical interventions like blepharoplasty, dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid, laser treatments targeting pigmentation irregularities, chemical peels to exfoliate skin, and a combination of procedures like surgery, fillers, laser treatments, and skincare. These treatments help reduce the visibility of underlying blood vessels and hollows, improve skin tone, and lighten pigmentation. Plastic surgeons can also recommend a combination of these treatments for optimal results.
