Dark circles are one of the most common aesthetic concerns due to changes in modern lifestyle, stress, increased screen time, nutritional deficiencies and more. Most men and women use concealers to hide the hyperpigmentation around their eyes temporarily. Though not a health condition, dark circles can make you look old, unhealthy and tired.
If you are wondering how to remove dark circles under eyes permanently, you came to the right place. Advanced US FDA-approved dark circle treatments at our Skin & Hair Clinics help effectively and safely reduce them with long-lasting satisfaction.
What are dark circles under your eyes?
Dark circles can result from brownish to bluish skin tone or a shadowing effect in the eye area. They can lead to a tired, old and sickly appearance. Though not a health condition, it may be a significant facial aesthetic concern. Dark circles may become challenging to treat and require advanced procedures performed by a qualified medical professional.
The condition, also known as Periorbital Hyperpigmentation (POH), Periorbital Melanosis, Infraorbital Darkening and Infraorbital Discolouration, affects up to 48% of people in the 16-25 age group.
What Are the types of Dark Circles?
- Vascular Dark Circles:This refers to bluish discolouration around the eyes due to increased visibility of blood vessels. It occurs due to ageing-related collagen and elastin loss in the eye area, which makes the overlying skin thinner.
- Pigmented Dark Circles:Dark brown pigmentation secondary to contact dermatitis occurs around the eyes due to friction or frequent rubbing and cosmetic allergy. Tan and pigmentary demarcation lines (PDL) may be other causes of hyperpigmentation around the eyes.
- Structural Dark Circles: Hollowness or tear trough formation under the eyes, skin sag and fine lines due to ageing may cause a shadowing effect. Puffiness may occur due to the collection of fluid or fat under the eyes. Volume loss in facial tissues is a common sign of ageing that may cause dark circles.
