Signature Treatments
Dark circles under the eyes, known scientifically as periorbital hyperpigmentation, are a prevalent condition that many people encounter and seek solutions for.
These dark circles can be influenced by a variety of factors and can affect individuals of all age, race, and sex.
Licensed professionals can provide insight and guidance on managing this condition. Consult with a licensed profession to determine the root cause of your dark eye circles and whether dark eye circle treatment is suitable.
What Are Dark Eye Circles?
Dark circles appear when the skin beneath the eyes looks darkened, which can be due to a variety of factors such as aging, genetics, allergies, lack of sleep, and dehydration. It is worth noting that these under-eye circles are usually not a symptom of a medical problem. While not typically a cause for concern, many individuals choose to lighten their appearance for cosmetic reasons.
Dark circles under the eyes can affect people of all ages, races, and sexes, with varying levels noticeable across all skin types. However, they are more common in certain groups of people, such as the elderly, those with a genetic predisposition, and individuals with darker skin tones.
What Causes Dark Circles Under Your Eyes?
One of the most common causes of dark circles under the eyes is aging. As individuals age, the skin beneath the eyes begins to loosen and thin out, causing the blood vessels underneath to become more visible. This can darken the appearance of the under-eye area. Hollowed areas, known as tear troughs, may also develop, increasing the appearance of puffy eyes.
Other possible causes of dark circles under the eyes include:
What Are The Dark Eye Circle Treatment Options?
Medical treatment options for dark circles under the eyes can be discussed after a comprehensive consultation. After a consultation at Beaute On Aesthetics, a personalized treatment plan can be developed to address dark circles under the eyes. The specific treatment plan depends on several factors, including the individual’s skin type, the underlying cause of the dark circles, and their overall health and lifestyle. Here are a few potential treatment options that may be considered:
- Dermal Fillers: These are injectable treatments that can help to restore lost volume under the eyes. They can reduce the appearance of dark circles caused by thinning skin or fat loss in the under-eye area, which often occurs as a result of aging. Some fillers commonly used include hyaluronic acid, which are naturally occurring substances in the skin.
- Laser Treatments: Laser treatments can be an effective way to improve the appearance of dark circles, particularly if they are caused by hyperpigmentation. Lasers work by either removing the top layers of skin to reveal fresher, lighter skin underneath or by targeting the underlying blood vessels that can contribute to the dark coloration.
- Other Approaches: Depending on the individual’s specific needs, other treatment approaches may be considered.
It’s important to note that while these treatments can be effective, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. What works best will depend on the individual’s specific circumstances and the underlying causes of their dark circles. It’s always advised to seek professional guidance before deciding on any treatment plan.
