How to get rid of dark circles under the eyes

Swelling, bags, dark circles under the eyes are associated in most people with overwork and lack of sleep. They add age, give a haggard and tortured look to the face.

Why do dark circles appear under the eyes?

The very anatomical structure of this area is conducive to the appearance of circles and bags. Very thin epidermis, lack of elastin and collagen fibers, sebaceous glands, as well as a closely spaced venous network. It is she who gives a bluish tint to the skin under the eyes with a lack of sleep.

The main culprits for the appearance of these unpleasant phenomena:

1. Changes due to age. Due to a slowdown in microcirculation, a decrease in the production of collagen, a thinning of subcutaneous fat, the deterioration of the already vulnerable and dry skin of the eyelids progresses over the years. The elasticity and density of the integument becomes lower, bags and circles appear more often.
2. Stress, overwork, insomnia disrupt the work of blood vessels, the outflow of lymph slows down, which provokes dark circles and swelling.
3. Genetic predisposition. Transparent and sensitive skin, a tendency to rosacea, allergic reactions are usually the inheritance of ancestors.
4. Disorders in the body. Problems with the nervous and endocrine systems, blood vessels, heart, liver, kidneys and other organs cause similar defects.
5. Wrong way of life. Retention or lack of fluid in the body, abuse of salty, fried, canned foods, alcohol, smoking, excessive amounts of caffeine, lack of sleep and rest, sedentary work - all this contributes to bags and circles under the eyes.
6. Hormonal changes and overuse of sunlight can cause hyperpigmentation in this area.

Determining the cause is the beginning of a journey to combat ugly dark circles.

Also, permanent makeup gives a good effect when a lighter shade of pigment is injected into the lower eyelid area, covering the dark tone.

Injection techniques

To combat dark circles due to natural aging processes, safe and effective innovations in aesthetic cosmetology are recommended, in the form of injections:

• contour correction using fillers based on hyaluronic acid. They push into the deep levels of the periorbital zone (around the eyes), lifting the sunken areas, becoming a buffer between the top layer of the skin and blood vessels. That visually removes the problem for up to a year;
• biorevitalization of the zone. Injections of biorevitalizants in 4-6 procedures will permanently remove swelling, bags and circles, increase skin tone, smooth mimic wrinkles, improve the general condition and appearance of the skin;
• lipofilling - a procedure in which a person's own fat is injected into the lower eyelid area. At the same time, the epidermis is stretched, the gap between it and the vessels grows, as a result of which the circles become invisible. In addition, auto fat, which is taken from the excess area (buttocks, abdomen), “native” for the body, does not cause allergies and complications.
