For both men and women, dark circles under the eyes can be a serious problem because they make you look tired and appear considerably older than you actually are. Many times these dark circles under the eyes are accompanied by baggy lower eyelids. Looking much older than your actual age is probably not the look you were going for. So, this article will outline some of the causes and available treatments to rid yourself of those dreaded dark circles and baggy eyelids...

So What Causes Dark Circles?

Dark circles under the eyes often appear when the skin under the eyes becomes thin and more transparent as a person naturally ages. Due to thinner skin, blood flow in veins under the eyes is much more apparent making the skin look darker.

Not getting enough sleep, sleep deprivation, and insomnia also play a role in developing dark circles. Lack of sleep causes the veins under the eyes to fill with more blood making the skin look darker in that particular area similar to the effects from a bruise.

Fatigue can cause your muscles to relax and lose tone underneath your eyes. Men and women suffering from allergies, hay fever, and even asthma experience congestion in the fine veins below the eyes resulting in dark circles. Hormonal changes can also be the culprit. Pregnancy and taking birth control pills are just two examples of hormonal changes that occur in the body.

What treatments can we offer?

Before we carry out any treatment we would carry out a consultation in which the consultant would go through a health check, lifestyle check and go through current home care routine.

Once your concerns have been discussed you would then be advised on how many clinical treatments would be recommended together with home care.
