The area of skin beneath the eyes is darker in appearance than the rest of the skin tone.
What is it?
In dermatology, dark eye circles, also known as periorbital hyperpigmentation, refer to the darkening of the skin around the eyes. This condition can be caused by various factors such as genetics, aging, thinning skin, sun exposure, lack of sleep, allergies, or certain medical conditions. Dark eye circles are often characterized by the appearance of dark or discolored patches under the eyes, which can make a person appear tired, aged, or unhealthy.
How is it treated?
Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition but may include topical creams with lightening properties, laser treatments focused on pigmentation and chemical peels or fillers to treat hollowed or sunken eyes. We may also suggest lifestyle modifications such as enhancing sleep habits, reducing stress or modifying diet. It's important to seek advice from a medically-trained professional to guarantee the safe and effective treatment of dark under-eye circles.
