Condition
Dark circles often appear due to the thinning of skin beneath the eyes, making underlying blood vessels more visible. Since the skin in this area is naturally delicate, it becomes even more transparent as collagen production decreases with age.
One of the most common contributors to tired-looking eyes is sleep deprivation. A lack of rest can cause fluid retention and sluggish circulation, resulting in puffiness and a darker appearance under the eyes.
As we age, the fat pads that support the under-eye area begin to diminish, leading to a sunken or hollowed appearance. This loss of volume creates a shadowing effect that makes dark circles appear more prominent.
Dark circles and tired eyes are among the most common cosmetic concerns for both men and women. Whether caused by genetics, lifestyle habits, or aging, these issues can make you appear older, exhausted, and less vibrant than you feel. The delicate skin around the eyes is prone to darkening, sagging, and fluid retention, resulting in puffiness, fine lines, and persistent discoloration.
At Image Clinic, we specialize in advanced, non-invasive solutions to target and correct dark circles and tired eyes. Our personalized treatments are designed to brighten the under-eye area, improve circulation, and restore volume for a youthful, well-rested appearance.
Dark circles refer to the darkened pigmentation beneath the eyes, which can be caused by multiple factors such as genetics, poor circulation, or lifestyle choices. Tired eyes, on the other hand, encompass issues like puffiness, under-eye hollows, and a dull, fatigued appearance that results from stress, lack of sleep, and dehydration.
Types of Dark Circles & Eye Concerns
Pigmented Dark Circles: Caused by excessive melanin production, leading to brown or bluish discoloration.
Vascular Dark Circles: Due to visible blood vessels under the thin under-eye skin, resulting in a bluish or purplish hue.
Structural Hollows & Shadows: Sunken under-eye areas caused by fat loss or natural bone structure, casting shadows that make dark circles appear more prominent.
Puffy or Swollen Eyes: Fluid retention leading to swollen, tired-looking eyes, often worsened by allergies, stress, or dehydration.
Regardless of the underlying cause, targeted treatments can improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and restore brightness to the eyes.
At Image Clinic, we use a combination of cutting-edge technologies and customized treatments to address the underlying causes of dark circles and tired eyes. Whether the concern is pigmentation, volume loss, or poor circulation, our specialists create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
