DARK CIRCLES

“What a look!” Did you sleep badly? » You hear this phrase far too often during periods of stress, extreme fatigue, or simply after a short night. The cause ? Unsightly dark circles that appear on your lower eyelids and make your eyes look heavier. The result of multiple factors, dark circles represent a recurring aesthetic problem, particularly in women, with visible signs such as discoloration and/or congestion of the lower eyelid. Dark circles are among the most common cosmetic concerns.

Dark circles under the eyes are among the most common cosmetic concerns. They are generally defined as a change in pigmentation or relief of the lower eyelid . The look then appears sadder and tired. Be careful, however, not to confuse dark circles and bags, which correspond to swelling of the lower eyelid.

A hereditary cause is possible in some people.

There is no age limit for having dark circles, but the problem can worsen with time, old age, fatigue, stress and poor lifestyle. However, solutions exist to improve the appearance of the eye contour. However, to define the most suitable treatment, it is first necessary to know more about dark circles. Indeed, understanding the formation mechanism of each type of dark circles allows you to find the strategies and active ingredients adapted to each of them. You should know that there are three types:

The different types of dark circles under the eyes.

Blue or vascular dark circles.

They are characterized by a more or less dark purplish pigmentation of the lower eyelid. This phenomenon is linked to a failure of blood and lymphatic microcirculation around the eye. Since circulation is too slow, blood pigments accumulate and are poorly evacuated, giving a purplish-blue color.

This type of dark circles mainly affects fair skin, whose skin allows bluish pigmentation to show through more easily. Although the appearance of these dark circles has a genetic component and is also linked to the aging process, they are also strongly dependent on lifestyle. Therefore, the following factors, which increase vasodilation, should be avoided: smoking, alcohol and lack of sleep.

THE circle contour eye serum or perfect eyes cream based on caffeine and niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of bluish dark circles under the eyes by promoting blood microcirculation or even Japanese ginkgo biloba to use in microneedling or mesotherapy.

Brown or pigmented dark circles.

This type of dark circle results from a deposition of melanin , thus forming a pigmentary spot which marks the entire perimeter of the eye. Most of the time, this hyperpigmentation is of genetic origin and particularly affects people with dark skin, who are more likely to have abnormally high melanin production in this area. However, these dark circles can also appear following certain skin pathologies.

To fade their pigmentation, go to products containing vitamin C , ferulic acid like peeling , etc... They have the ability to regulate and inhibit the production of melanin, thus correcting the complexion and preventing this pigmentation.

Hollow or structural dark circles.

This type of dark circles is characterized by a pronounced shadow under the eyes. A particular bony structure of the face emphasizes the hollow located under the eyes and makes the contours of the orbit more visible. In this case, if the light comes from above, a shadow will appear before your eyes. On the contrary, front lighting will mitigate this effect.

This type of dark circles can have a genetic origin or develop gradually over time or after massive weight loss. As we age, the fatty pockets of the face, which lie between the skin and the orbital bone, empty and the skin sags , forming a hollow ring .

In this case, you can use cross-linked hyaluronic acid with the INFINI S product in injection to fill the hollow or DIVES FINES LINES WITH LIDO

How to reduce dark circles under the eyes?

Fortunately, there are several ways to alleviate or eliminate them altogether.

First of all, there are also several topical treatments that can help fade dark circles. EYE ABSOLUTE DARK CIRCLE moisturizers and eye contours containing ingredients such as vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin E can help reduce the appearance of dark circles by improving blood circulation and fading pigmentation.

There are also professional treatments, such as microdermabrasion, laser or botulinum toxin, which can help reduce dark circles by stimulating collagen production and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

It's also important to protect yourself from UV rays by using sunscreen every day, as sun exposure can make dark circles worse.

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that involves using fine needles to pierce the skin in multiple locations, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. It can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including dark circles.

Microneedling can help reduce dark circles by improving blood circulation around the eyes. By increasing blood flow, nutrients and oxygen are better delivered to the eye area, which can help reduce the appearance of dark circles. Microneedling can also help reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, which can help improve the overall appearance of the eye area.

It is important to note that microneedling is a treatment that requires several sessions to obtain visible results, so it is important to be patient and follow the recommendations of your healthcare professional to obtain the best results.

It is also important to continue taking care of your skin after treatment by using moisturizing and protective products to maintain the results achieved and prevent future damage.

However, it is important to consult a qualified professional to evaluate whether microneedling is appropriate for you and follow the recommendations to achieve the best results.

Hyaluronic acid as we discussed above is a dermal filler commonly used to treat dark circles and wrinkles. It is also used to improve skin hydration and to increase its elasticity.

The hyaluronic acid product is injected under the skin around the eyes to fill in dark circles. It works by filling in hollow areas under the eyes, helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Hyaluronic acid can also help improve blood circulation around the eyes, which can help reduce the appearance of dark circles.

Hyaluronic acid treatment is usually minimally painful and does not require significant recovery time. However, it is important to ensure that the treatment is carried out by a qualified professional to minimize the risk of side effects.
