Dark Circles

Sun overexposure – Overexposure to the sun can cause your body to produce an excess of
melanin, the pigment that provides your skin with color. Too much sun — particularly for your
eyes — can cause pigmentation in the surrounding skin to darken.
Genetics – Family history also plays a part in developing dark circles under your eyes. It can be
an inherited trait seen early in childhood, and may worsen as you age or slowly disappear.
Predispositions to other medical conditions — such as thyroid disease — can also result in dark
circles beneath your eyes.
Fatigue – Oversleeping, extreme fatigue, or just staying up a few hours past your normal
bedtime can cause dark circles to form under your eyes. Sleep deprivation can cause your skin
to become dull and pale, allowing for dark tissues and blood vessels beneath your skin to show.
Lack of sleep can also cause fluid to build underneath your eyes, causing them to appear puffy.
As a result, the dark circles you see may actually be shadows cast by your puffy eyelids.
Age – Natural aging is another common cause of those dark circles beneath your eyes. As you
get older, your skin becomes thinner. You also lose the fat and collagen needed to maintain your
skin’s elasticity. As this occurs, the dark blood vessels beneath your skin become more visible
causing the area below your eyes to darken.
Eye strain – Staring at your television or computer screen can cause significant strain on your
eyes. This strain can cause blood vessels around your eyes to enlarge. As a result, the skin
surrounding your eyes can darken.
Dehydration – Dehydration is a common cause of dark circles under your eyes. When your body
is not receiving the proper amount of water, the skin beneath your eyes begins to look dull and
your eyes look sunken. This is due to their close proximity to the underlying bone

How to treat Dark Circle effectively?

Dermal Fillers – Dermal fillers are used to treat dark circles. Also known as tear trough filler, it is
an injectable treatment that’s used under the eyes. Its purpose is to add volume beneath the
eyelids. The product most often used in this area is one typically made of hyaluronic acid,
although other ingredients may be used. Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance that naturally
exists in your body. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid increases fullness and
decreases indentations.
