Primary factor
Thinning Skin
The skin under the eyes is naturally thin and becomes even thinner with age, making underlying blood vessels more visible as a bluish or dark tint.
What is Dark Circles & Under Eye Treatment?
Dark circles and under eye treatment covers a range of in-clinic and skincare approaches designed to reduce the shadowed, darkened appearance beneath the eyes. Dark circles can develop for several different reasons thinning skin that reveals underlying blood vessels, pigmentation, volume loss, or simply genetics and fatigue which is why an effective dark eye circle treatment plan starts with identifying which of these factors is the main driver for you. Whether you're searching for the best treatment for dark circles, a dedicated under eye treatment for a tired-looking appearance, or a specific dark under eye treatment for pigmentation-related discolouration, the right approach depends on the underlying cause rather than a single universal solution.
What Causes Dark Circles?
Pigmentation
Excess melanin in the under-eye area can create a brown or darker discolouration, sometimes linked to genetics, sun exposure or rubbing the eyes.
Volume Loss
As under-eye volume decreases with age, a hollow can form that casts a shadow, making the area appear darker even without pigmentation.
Genetics
A tendency toward dark circles, whether from skin thinness or pigmentation, often runs in families.
Fatigue and Lifestyle
Poor sleep, dehydration, stress and allergies can all make dark circles look more pronounced, even when they're not the root cause.
