Causes of Dark Circles
Dark circles can be caused by various factors including:
Genetics – family genetics determines the composition of your body, skin, facial structures, pigment level in your skin, and other features. If your family members have thinner skin around the eyes, chances are you will too, which can cause the blood vessels under the eyes to look more prominent, creating the appearance of dark circles.
Sun damage – Prolonged sun exposure can cause damage to your skin, leading to
the appearance or the development of dark circles under your eyes. This is because the UV rays can cause excess melanin production, which can be deposited under your eyes causing hyperpigmentation and the appearance of dark circles.
Lack of adequate sleep and rest – Lack of enough rest or sleep decreases the oxygen levels in your eyes, causing the blood vessels to dilate. This gives you bloodshot eyes and can become darker and show more through the skin, hence the appearance of dark circles.
Best Dark Circles Treatment in Mumbai
First things first, make sure to choose a skin care specialist like Dr. Rinky Kapoor, who has the necessary skills and experience to deal with dark circles and other skin concerns. The specialist will assess your skin and condition and determine a suitable treatment.
Some of the treatments your doctor can suggest include:
Topical Creams and Ointments
This is probably one of the most common treatments for dark circles. You can also get them as over-the-counter medications. These creams usually have lightening agents to brighten the dark area under the eyes to match the complexion of your skin.
Some of the lightening ingredients in these creams include hydroquinone, glycolic acid, azelaic acid, and kojic acid. All you need to do is apply the right amount as often as recommended for a certain period of time. Make sure to follow the instructions to get satisfactory results.
Laser Therapy
Heat energy can be used through a procedure called laser therapy to vaporize the damaged cells. This will not only brighten the darker area but also stimulate collagen production, which is essential to firm the skin.
Chemical peel Treatment
Chemical peels use chemical solutions to get rid of the upper part of the skin, the epidermis, and part of the dermis, which is usually hyperpigmented, spotted, wrinkled, and damaged in texture. This procedure improves the texture and tone of the skin, alongside eliminating or reducing the appearance of dark circles.
