Every wonder how dark eye circle removal can be done? Let’s face it, dark eye circles make us look tired unwell and older. Unfortunately, the best eye creams and skincare have only a mild effect and most act as concealers.
How fresh we look can affect how fresh we feel. Of course, we can first understand the various causes of dark eye circles and adopt changes in our lifestyle to resolve eye circles. (like having adequate sleep and reducing fluid retention)
However, if the appearance of dark eye circles persists despite our best attempts it might be worthwhile to consider dark eye circle removal treatments. Many of such dark eye circle treatments in Singapore are simple office procedures, non-invasive and non-in with excellent safety and recoveries.
Dark eye circles are the darkening of the skin surrounding the eyes. A dark circle are to be differentiated from eye bags which are puffiness under the eye. The treatments for eye bags are also different.
Sunken eyes are hollowness around the eye area that is due to a lack of fat tissue. As a result, dark eye rings are obvious and makes the eyes also look tired and fatigued. These are also known as “tear troughs” (as the tear flows along these grooves). Fillers or threads work wonderfully to reduce the appearance of sunken eyes and tear troughs.
The skin surrounding the eyes is typically very thin. It is in fact 4 times thinner than the skin in the rest of the body. As we age we lose collagen in the skin and also the cheek fat. As a result, fine lines form more easily and the dark blood vessels under the skin become more obvious. The loss of cheek fat makes the eye area appear more hollow and the face more skeletal in appearance.
As we lose weight we also lose facial fat. The volume loss of cheek fat draping below the eyes makes the eyes look more sunken
It is likely that if you have dark eye circles, someone in your family might also have the same issue. Certain races have more deep-set eyes and therefore have more shadows under the eyes to make them look sunken. Darker complexions might have more pigmentation around the eye area due to a higher amount of melanin in the area.
Lack of sleep, sleep deprivation, extreme fatigue or oversleeping can affect the blood circulation of the skin under the eyes. As a result, the dark blood vessels show more and causes an appearance of dark circles.
Another common cause of dark eye circles is dehydration. Dehydration can be caused by various factors, one being alcohol consumption. The lack of water content around the eye area causes the skin to be dull and the eyes appear sunken.
Allergies or allergic reactions due to various factors can cause a “histamine” response. The skin blood vessels will dilate and appear more obvious under the skin. There will also be inflammation of the skin causing redness, dryness and itchiness. Constant rubbing of the skin may also unwanted pigmentation to form.
Smoking causes accelerated ageing and deplete the collagen for the lower eyelids’ skin. Thinning of the eyelid will make the blood vessels more visible and worsen dark circles.
Sinus infections such as allergic rhinitis are often associated with inflammation of the eyelid skin. This leads to the darkening of the eyelid skin. Inflammation also causes itchiness which leads to rubbing of the skin which worsens eyelid skin pigmentation.
