Reasons
- Genetic– This happens from childhood. The reason for kids having dark circle is genes. Under eyes become more hollow, wrinkled and darker as they age.
- Volume Loss– Under eye area has got good fat pads and the skin here is in line with cheeks. With ageing this fat volume reduces and skin is pulled in. This leads to absence of light reflection in this area and dark circles.
- Vascular Pigmentation– under eye area is highly vascular, enlarged vessels under the skin and extravasation of RBC from vessels leads to pigment accumulation in the skin.
- It could be melanin hyper pigmentation in the skin.
Do's
- Use gentle cleanser
- Moisturiser the area
- Don’t rub the area
- Use sunscreen with SPF 55 +
Treatments
- Under eye creams containing retinol, vitamin C, vitamin K, hyaluronic acid have to be used at night time.
- Chemical peels – exfoliate and lighten pigmentation.
- Fillers– replace volume.
- PRP– growth factors in PRP help in increasing collagen content of the skin and reducing pigment.
- Ablative and non-ablative laser help in collagen stimulation and cell renewal.
