Tackling Dark Circles

Dark under eye circles are a common problem for many – no longer restricted to a lack of sleep (although a contributor), dark under eye circles can be caused by a number of concerns such as diet and lifestyle, dehydration, allergies and irritation or hereditary. No matter the cause, dark circles can be treated to improve their appearance overall. Between surgical and non-surgical approaches, discover the treatments for tackling dark under eyes.

Before diving into the treatments, it is important to understand how dark circles can appear:

– An increase in pigment occurring underneath the skin.
– An increase in pigment due to the increased blood flow to the skin.
– A decrease in fat, muscle or general volume underneath the eyes.

In addition to this, the changes can occur from a range of factors such as emotional changes (stress), diet, lifestyle, hereditary or environmental factors, with the most important thing to note is that lifestyle factors can be a significant contributor. Therefore, before any treatments are advised, we recommend also looking at concerns such as stress, hydration levels and environmental factors that can also play a part.
