Dark Circles – Causes, Natural Remedies, And Aesthetic Treatments | Kosmoderma

Overview

Dark circles in the under-eye area are a cause of concern. Well, they can affect your overall appearance and hit your self-confidence. Now, there are various causes for pigmentation in the tear trough portion. These include allergies, aging, fatigue, dehydration, and lack of sleep.

The good news is that dark circles under your eyes are not a symptom of a medical problem. However, you may want to opt for dark circle treatments for cosmetic reasons and regain your lost confidence. At Kosmoderma, we provide dark circle correction procedures to have you looking youthful and beautiful all over again.

All About Dark Circles and Their Possible Causes

When the skin underneath your eyes appears brown or black, it is referred to as dark circles. There are varied reasons for this phenomenon.

Aging is the most common cause of dark circles. Lack of collagen production can result in the loosening of the skin under your eyes. As a result of this thinning effect, the blood vessels below your skin become visible. This tends to darken the appearance of the under eye portion.

Moreover, the aging process can lead to hollow areas, which are called tear troughs. The shadowing effect of these tear troughs can make your eyes look puffy.

Among other factors that cause the skin under your eyes to darken are genetics, hyperpigmentation, inadequate sleep, scratching or rubbing your eyes, unhealthy lifestyle patterns, and water retention.

Aesthetic Treatments for Dark Circles

While some people may gain benefits by applying home remedies, others might not be so lucky. No worries! You always have the option of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments at Kosmoderma.

1) Chemical Peels:

Chemical peel treatment is an effective way of treating your dark circles. A light chemical peel works wonders to reduce skin pigmentation. Your dermatologist may recommend retinol peel, lactic peel, arginine peel, or glycolic peel to maintain healthy pH levels, keeping your skin hydrated and refreshed.

2) Dermal Fillers:

Dermal fillers help to restore loss volume, causing the plumped-up effect.

3) Platelet-Rich Therapy:

PRP injections contain growth factors, which help to boost collagen production and repair the skin. All this helps to lighten your dark circles and restore younger-looking skin.

4) Laser Treatment:

As part of laser therapy, the damaged skin cells are vaporized via heat energy. Hence, the skin under the eyes becomes lighter and collagen production increases, firming up and revitalizing your skin.

5) Blepharoplasty:

Lower lid Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed by plastic surgeons, involving fat removal. This surgery can reduce the shadow cast by the eyelid, reducing the appearance of your dark circles.

Preventive Measures for Dark Circles

Herein are some ways to prevent dark circles:

• Sleep Well: The sleep experts recommend getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night. By doing so, you can prevent the shadowing effect under your eyes.
• Apply Cold Compresses: You can shrink dilated blood vessels with cold compresses. By doing so, you can improve the appearance of your dark circles and treat puffy eyelids.
• Use Cucumbers: Cucumbers are rich in water content and vitamin-C. You can exploit the goodness of cucumbers to reduce puffiness around the eyes. Simply cut them into slices and put them on your eyes for a few minutes at intervals during the day.
• Opt for Facials: Facials include massages around the eye portion, resulting in more blood circulation. This can help with puffiness while enhancing your appearance.
• Use Teabags: Keeping cold tea bags on your eyes is another way of boosting blood circulation and minimizing puffiness. The antioxidants and caffeine content in tea help in this regard.
• Cover with Makeup: Consider applying makeup foundation and under-eye concealer for a blending effect, which covers the dark circles.
