Dark Circles: Causes and Treatments
Dark circles are dark blemishes under the eyes, usually caused by oxygenated blood beneath the skin. Common factors include genetics, fatigue, and dehydration. If you are struggling with persistent dark circles and tired-looking skin, visit ISAAC Luxe for effective solutions tailored to your needs.
What Causes Dark Circles?
Several factors contribute to the development of dark circles, including:
1. Sun Overexposure Excessive sun exposure increases melanin production, leading to pigmentation and darkening around the eyes.
2. Genetics Family history can play a role in developing dark circles, which may appear early in life and either worsen or fade over time. Conditions like thyroid disease can also cause dark circles.
3. Fatigue Lack of sleep, oversleeping, or extreme fatigue can make your skin dull, causing dark tissues and blood vessels to become more visible. Fluid retention from fatigue can also lead to puffy eyes, which cast shadows resembling dark circles.
4. Age As you age, your skin becomes thinner and loses collagen, making the blood vessels beneath more noticeable and causing under-eye discoloration.
5. Eye Strain Prolonged screen time can cause eye strain, enlarging blood vessels around your eyes and leading to dark circles.
6. Allergies Allergic reactions release histamines, which dilate blood vessels and make them more visible. Rubbing itchy eyes can worsen inflammation and cause broken blood vessels.
7. Dehydration When your body is dehydrated, the skin beneath your eyes appears dull and sunken due to its proximity to the underlying bone.
Treatments Available at ISAAC Luxe for Dark Circles
At ISAAC Luxe, we begin with a comprehensive medical evaluation to identify and address any underlying causes. Depending on the diagnosis, we recommend a combination of at-home care and advanced treatments, including:
1. Dermal Fillers Also known as tear trough fillers, these are injectable treatments made with hyaluronic acid that add volume beneath the eyes, reducing dark circles and indentations.
2. Eye Light Therapy This 30-minute non-invasive treatment uses peptides, growth factors, and botanical stem extracts to hydrate and rejuvenate the under-eye area. Micro-needling stimulates collagen production, while a specialized eye mask nourishes the skin.
3. Chemical Peels We offer customized AHA and BHA peels that improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and lighten dark spots around the eyes.
4. Laser Treatment Advanced laser technology at ISAAC Luxe stimulates collagen production, tightens the skin, and reduces the appearance of dark circles.
