Dark Circles Treatment

Dark circles, also known as periorbital circles, periorbital hyperpigmentation or periorbital melanosisis are dark blemishes around the eyes.They may or may not be associated with undereye puffiness, bags, malar festoons etc.

- What Are The Causes Of Dark Circles?

There are commonly two types of dark circles:

  1. Blue
  2. Brown/black

The Blue circles are formed due to pooling of oxygenated blood in under-eye skin. As skin on this part is very thin, so blood shows through. However brown/black dark circles are most commonly found. They result due to hyperpigmentation of skin around the eye.

They can be caused by a myriad of factors:

  7. Filler/Fat injections may also be recommended.in case of dark circles due to undereye volume loss
  8. Undereye b o t u l i n u m t o x i n is advised if there are wrinkles and fine lines under the eyes, causing the darkening.
  9. In most of the cases, eyelid surgery also known as blepharoplasty, is generally the most effective method if there are associated undereye bags.Best performed by a well trained Oculoplastic surgeon
  10. Acugel or hydrafacial treatment for under eye dark circles has also been used. Acugel is a portable device based on iontophoresis which helps to deliver the active ingredients deep into the area of skin where the medication is generally required. This treatment improves blood circulation and reduces edema that caused under eye puffiness. Usually 6-8 sessions may be required, depending on the depth of skin involved. However, each session is only of about 20-30 minutes. Generally this procedure is avoided in patients with pacemakers.
