Dark Circles Under Eyes
Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments
Dark circles under the eyes stem from multiple factors, including thinning skin, hyperpigmentation, and dilated blood vessels. These circles can give the impression of fatigue or premature ageing, affecting an individual’s overall aesthetic. Dr Bravis offers advanced skin treatments and medical-grade skincare designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
Causes of dark circles under the eyes include:
- Genetic predisposition may heighten susceptibility to dark circles.
- Ageing leads to reduced skin thickness and increased vascular visibility.
- Allergies can worsen dark circles due to nasal congestion.
- Extended screen exposure strains ocular muscles, causing under-eye shadows.
- Excessive melanin production can darken skin around the eyes.
- Dehydration can lead to sallow, sunken skin under the eyes, accentuating dark circles.
Can dark circles under the eyes be prevented?
To mitigate and minimise dark circles under the eyes, individuals can adopt various preventive measures, including ensuring adequate sleep, maintaining hydration, safeguarding against sun damage, managing allergies effectively, and implementing stress-reduction techniques to support overall skin health.
