What You Need To Know?

While fatigue may seem like the most logical explanation for this condition, there are a number of factors that can contribute to dark circles under the eyes. In most cases, they are no cause for concern and do not require medical attention.

Though they can affect anyone, dark circles are most common in people who:

• are elderly
• have a genetic predisposition to this condition (periorbital hyperpigmentation)
• are from non-white ethnic groups (darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation around the eye area)

For a more effective and permanent solution, some medical treatments are available to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Some of the more common methods include:

• chemical peels to reduce pigmentation
• laser surgery to resurface the skin and enhance skin tightening
• medical tattoos to inject pigment into thinning skin areas
• tissue fillers to conceal blood vessels and melanin that are causing skin discoloration beneath your eyes.
• fat removal to remove excess fat and skin, revealing a smoother and more even surface
• surgical implants of fat or synthetic products

Before deciding on any cosmetic procedure, discuss your options with a doctor. Invasive medical treatments can be expensive, painful, and often require a long recovery time.
