Dark circles can be caused by:

Fatigue: Sleep deprivation causes your skin to become dull and pale, allowing dark tissues to show through.
Age: Natural aging causes the skin to become thinner and loses collagen, which allows dark blood vessels to become more visible.
Eye strain: The daily exposure we have to screens can cause strain on the eyes and eye area, which causes blood vessels to enlarge giving the appearance of dark circles.
Sun damage: Overexposure to the sun can cause your body to produce more melanin, which can cause pigmentation around the delicate eye area.
Dehydration: When your body doesn’t receive an adequate amount of water every day it can cause your skin to look dull and sunken, contributing to the formation of dark circles.

Dark circles can affect anyone of any age or ethnicity and can appear from dark blue to dark brown or black. They don’t cause for major concern, but some people prefer to have them lightened or removed for cosmetic reasons.

As we age the thin skin around the eyes becomes even thinner and causes the excess pigment and blood vessels to peek through. Our Anti-Aging Team believes offers a variety of options to treat this concern, from non-surgical procedures to skincare products.
