Dark Circles Under the Eyes

Dark circles refer to the appearance of discolouration or shadowing beneath the eyes, often giving a tired or aged appearance.

They can result from a combination of factors including genetics, thinning skin, loss of volume with age, and increased visibility of underlying blood vessels. Pigmentation changes and sun exposure may also contribute, while lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep, stress and fatigue can accentuate their appearance.

The under-eye area is particularly delicate, making it prone to hollowing and puffiness, sometimes referred to as eye bags. Dark circles are commonly a concern for patients seeking a rested and refreshed look.
