If you struggle with looking well-rested each day, you might notice how dark circles and eyebags affect your appearance. These imperfections can occur for a wide variety of reasons, but with the help of a trained professional at the Dermed Clinic in Johor Bahru, you can tackle these concerns with the care and attention of a skilled professional, Dr. Muniandi Velayuthan. Let’s look at a few things you need to know about dark circles and eyebags to better understand the best ways to get rid of them!
What are the causes of eyebags and dark circles?
Most of our patients struggling with these imperfections share one or more of these common causes:
- Genetics. Dark circles might be hereditary and are often passed down from family members.
- Age. As we grow older, the skin surrounding our eyes becomes thinner, making the underlying blood vessels more noticeable and leading to the appearance of dark circles.
- Lack of sleep. Not getting enough sleep will often cause your skin to become pale, making darker circles more noticeable.
- Allergies. Allergic reactions can cause inflammation in the delicate skin under your eyes, resulting in puffiness and dark circles.
- Dehydration. When our bodies are dehydrated, it might lead to a sunken appearance under the eyes, making dark circles more prominent.
- Sun exposure. Too much sun exposure might cause the skin around our eyes to produce more melanin, leading to darker under-eye circles.
- Smoking. The chemicals found in cigarettes have been proven to damage the delicate skin under our eyes and contribute to dark circles.
- Nutritional deficiencies. A lack of some common, essential nutrients like iron, vitamin K, and vitamin B12 can contribute to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
What are the best ways to eliminate eyebags and dark circles?
Lifestyle changes can significantly enhance the appearance of eyebags and dark circles. These changes include quitting smoking, staying hydrated by drinking more water, and ensuring you get enough sleep. However, if these issues are not resolved through lifestyle adjustments, in-office treatments at Dermed Clinic may be recommended. The most effective services we offer for these concerns include:
- Chemical peels. A chemical solution is applied to the skin beneath the eyes, producing a peeling effect that uncovers fresh, brighter skin.
- Fillers. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the tear troughs (the hollow area under the eyes), filling in deep grooves and reducing puffiness.
- Laser therapy. Laser treatments can target dark pigmentation under the eyes, helping to lighten dark circles and improve overall skin texture.
Don’t let under-eye bags and dark circles affect your confidence!
For some, no amount of makeup can disguise these imperfections on the skin. If you are in or around the Johor Bahru area and want to speak to Dr. Velayuthan and his team at Dermed Clinic, call +60166999097 to request a visit to our office.
