Dark circles under the eyes vary widely from one patient to another. Dark circles may be caused by a shadow effect from bulging of the fatty pads under the eyes, wrinkling of the lower eyelid skin, genetic hyperpigmentation, or medical issues like allergies.
It is important to treat the underlying cause in order to achieve the best result. It is commonly believed that dark circles are caused by not getting enough sleep and although good lifestyle habits can help the reasons for dark circles are more complex than simply not getting enough sleep.

Treatment of Dark Circles
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can be used to lighten hyperpigmentation and improve the overall appearance of the under-eye area. These peels work by exfoliating the top layer of skin, revealing brighter, healthier skin underneath.
Dermal Fillers (Tear Trough)
Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, can be injected into the tear trough area beneath the eyes to add volume and reduce the appearance of dark circles. This treatment provides immediate results and can last for several months.
Skincare Products
There are a variety of skincare products specifically formulated to address dark circles. These products may contain ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, and caffeine, which can help to lighten hyperpigmentation, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
