The under-eye area is often the first part of the face to show signs of ageing, fatigue and skin changes. Dark circles, hollowing, fine lines or puffiness can make the face appear tired even when you feel well rested. At Beauttitude Medical Clinic in Sale, Greater Manchester, under-eye rejuvenation is approached through careful medical assessment.
What Causes Dark Circles?
Dark circles are not caused by one single factor. Common causes include:
Thin Skin
Reduced collagen allows underlying blood vessels to become more visible.
Vascular Shadowing
Blood vessels beneath the skin create blue or purple tones.
Pigmentation
Melanin deposits may cause brown discolouration.
Volume Loss
Ageing causes fat redistribution, creating shadowing known as tear trough hollowing.
Lifestyle Factors
Sleep quality, stress and dehydration may worsen appearance but are rarely the sole cause.
