Dark Circles

Dark Circles

Dark circles or Periorbital hyperpigmentation is a very common condition that can affect people of all ages.It is characterised as a uniform, round darkening of the skin (blue to dark brown or black in hue) around or under both eyes.

Causes of Dark Circles

Hereditary: Dark circles can be inherited. When you have thin skin, the blood vessels around your eyes are more visible.

Lack of Sleep: Lack of sleep causes severe eye strain. This allows blood vessels beneath your skin to show through.

Hormonal Ageing:  It causes under eye fat loss which makes the blood vessels more prominent.

Lifestyle Related: Eye strain, long working hours on the computer.

Allergy: Allergic conditions cause release of histamine causing blood vessel dilation.

Chronic Friction: Due to recurrent rubbing of eyes.

Iron Deficiency:  Anemia, caused by iron deficiency, is one of the most common causes of dark circles.

Treatment for Dark Circles

Medical Treatment: In severe and non-responsive situations, when cosmetic disfiguring is of significant concern, particularly in pigmentary disorders such as melasma, medical treatment in consultation with a dermatologist is indicated. It is necessary to conduct tests to rule out anaemia, thyroid disease, and other hormonal imbalances.

Topical Medicines: Creams or gels containing hydroquinone, Kojic acid, alpha arbutin, AHA’S BHA’s medications are recommended.These medications are typically used to initiate therapy and then tapered off, whereas more natural products are utilised long term.

Cosmetic Techniques: Cosmetic techniques like Botulinum (Botox) injections are now used in conjunction with other skin tightening and wrinkle reduction procedures. Carbon-dioxide infusion (carboxytherapy), laser treatment, chemical peels, and mesotherapy are some of the other methods available (the technique of injecting vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to tighten and rejuvenate skin).

Dermal Fillers: In the case of skin thinning and loosening owing to loss of fat or collagen padding (as is common with ageing), dermal fillers are injected in one or more sittings. These fillers may contain fat, collagen, hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), and polymers such as cellulose or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).

Chemical Peels: The commonly known eye bags or puffiness beneath the eyes, as well as pigmentation, are caused by a combination of inflammation, persistent UV damage, and the downward pull of gravity on under eye circles. Chemical peels rejuvenate skin around the eyes by exfoliating damaged upper layers of skin to reveal new, healthier skin, enhancing elasticity, and hydrating skin.

Eye Fillers: Eye fillers are used to fill in the hollow under your eyes that creates dark circles. This improves your appearance and makes you feel more youthful and fresh since it creates volume to the under eye area, making you appear more alert.

Laser Toning: A treatment based on the principle of selective elimination of pigmented cells that uses the 1320 nm wavelength of a Q Switched Nd:YAG laser to treat dark circles.
