DARK CIRCLES

WHAT ARE DARK CIRCLES?
Dark circles appear as discolouration around the eyes. The two most common causes of dark circles are hollowness and hyperpigmentation, which is when patches of skin become darker. Hyperpigmentation occurs through melanin, the brown pigment that produces the normal colour of skin, building up in excess.
Dark circles differ from bags in that they are darkness formed under and around the eye area and are caused by genetics and skin tone. Bags appear as swelling under the eye and may be a sign of genetics or the ageing process.

DARK CIRCLES TREATMENT
Tear trough filler
A tear trough is the area between the cheek and the lower eyelid where hollowness may be present, accentuating the appearance of dark circles. To reduce dark circles, tear trough filler is a good option for restoring a natural appearance.
The procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the area. A naturally occurring compound in the body, hyaluronic acid is vital to promoting healthy skin and the injection adds fullness to the undereye area.
Skin boosters
Another method for restoring vitality in the lower eyelid area is to utilise skin boosters. They are injected into the face and contain helpful vitamins that hydrate the skin and lessen the severity of dark circles.
Vampire facial
Also referred to as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), a vampire facial involves taking blood from a person, spinning it through a machine and extracting plasma. The plasma is then injected back into the skin and helps to reduce dark circles by stimulating collagen growth.
Lifestyle changes
Dark circles can often be the result of factors such as stress and a lack of sleep. Finding ways to change your schedule may be helpful. This could involve meditating, going to bed early and developing an exercise routine for eliminating stress.
You could also invest in a daily moisturising routine to exfoliate the face with products that contain hyaluronic acid or vitamins.
Chemical peels
Another option to consider for lessening dark circles is to use a chemical peel gel. These types of gels contain ingredients such as glycolic and retinoic acid to help lighten dark pigmentation under the eyes.
