Effective Ways to Eliminate Under-Eye Circles: Understanding the Process
Dark circles represent a prevalent cosmetic issue stemming from modern lifestyle shifts, stress, prolonged screen use, insufficient nutrients, and other factors. Many individuals, both male and female, resort to concealers as a temporary solution to mask the discoloration around their eyes. Although not a medical condition, dark circles can contribute to an aged, unhealthy, and fatigued appearance.
If you’re seeking a permanent solution for getting rid of under-eye dark circles, look no further. Purple Face offers advanced dark circle treatments that are approved by the US FDA, effectively and safely reducing them with lasting results.
What Are Dark Circles Under Your Eyes?
Upon closer examination, dark circles can manifest as either a brownish or bluish discoloration of the skin around the eyes, or as a shadowy effect in that area. These imperfections can result in a worn-out, aged, or unwell appearance. Although not classified as a medical condition, they can pose a significant aesthetic concern for the face. Treating dark circles can be a complex process, often necessitating advanced procedures that should be carried out by a qualified healthcare professional.
‘The Periorbital Hyperpigmentation (POH), also referred to as Periorbital Melanosis, Infraorbital Darkening, and Infraorbital Discoloration, is a condition that impacts nearly half of individuals in the 16-25 age bracket.
What Are The Types Of Dark Circles?
Dark circles can be of three types:
- Vascular Dark Circles: The bluish discoloration around the eyes is caused by the increased visibility of blood vessels, resulting from a decrease in collagen and elastin in the eye area due to aging. This leads to thinning of the skin on top of the blood vessels, causing the discoloration.
- Pigmented Dark Circles: The area around the eyes can develop dark pigmentation as a result of contact dermatitis, which is caused by friction, frequent rubbing, or an allergic reaction to cosmetics. Hyperpigmentation near the eyes can also be caused by tan lines or pigmentary demarcation lines (PDL).
- Structural Dark Circles: ‘Hollows or depressions under the eyes, skin laxity, and fine lines caused by the aging process can create a shaded appearance. Swelling may arise from the accumulation of fluid or fat beneath the eyes. Reduction in volume of facial tissues is a common indication of aging that can lead to the presence of dark circles.’
What Are The Causes Of Dark Circles?
Various factors contribute to the appearance of under-eye circles, including but not limited to the following causes:
Primary causes:
- Genetics or family history of dark circles
- Ageing can make pigmentary demarcation lines and dark circles noticeable due to any of the following:
- prominent vasculature
- tear trough formation
- thinning of skin due to collagen, elastin or fat loss
- fine lines
- sagginess
- Side effects of drugs, especially those used for reducing ocular hypertension
Health concerns:
- Contact dermatitis, e.g., due to allergic reaction to eye makeup
- Atopic dermatitis
- Refractive error
- Disorders like anaemia because of nutritional deficiencies and dehydration
- Thyroid hormone imbalance
- Periorbital oedema or fluid retention due to hypertension and kidney or liver disorder
- Obesity and insulin resistance may make the under-eye skin appear thick, pigmented and velvety due to a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans
Lifestyle factors:
- Inadequate/ improper sleeping habits
- Stress
- Fatigue
- Increased eye strain
- Excessive sun exposure
- Friction due to the habit of rubbing the eyes frequently
