Dark Circles & Eye Bags

Dark circles and eye bags are common concerns that can make you look tired, aged, or unwell. While many assume lack of sleep is the main cause, several underlying factors contribute to these issues.

Causes of dark circles & eye bags

Genetic Pigmentation – Some individuals naturally have darker skin under the eyes due to hereditary factors.
Melasma & Hyperpigmentation – Hormonal changes, sun exposure, and skin inflammation can cause melasma, leading to increased pigmentation under the eyes.
Volume Loss & Shadowing – As we age, fat and collagen depletion around the eyes create hollows, making dark circles more prominent.
Lower Eyelid Fat Pad Protrusion – This can cause puffiness and eye bags, leading to a tired appearance.
Visible Under-Eye Veins – Thin skin under the eyes can reveal underlying blood vessels, contributing to a dark, bluish tone.
Collagen & Elastin Loss – Aging reduces skin elasticity, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and a crepey under-eye texture.
