Waking up to dark circles under your eyes can be a real bummer. They make you look tired and dent your confidence, especially when no concealer seems to help. Even more worrying is that these pesky shadows deepen and worsen over time.
While many things can cause dark circles, ageing plays a big part in making them more prominent. Let’s understand why dark circles worsen with age and how you can tackle them effectively.
As we age, the skin under our eyes becomes thinner due to a gradual loss of subcutaneous fat and reduced cell turnover. The delicate nature of the skin in this area means that blood vessels underneath may show through, creating a darker appearance.
Thinned skin also makes the area more vulnerable to environmental damage, adding to discolouration.
Collagen, the key protein that keeps skin firm and elastic, diminishes with age. A decline in collagen means the skin around the eyes loses its firmness and plumpness, giving way to sagging and hollowing, and adding a shadowy effect to dark circles.
The natural ageing process also brings on the redistribution of fat pads beneath the eyes. These fat pads shrink and shift, and the volume loss adds to sagging and hollowing. The change in structure can make the under-eye area appear more pronounced and difficult to conceal with makeup alone.
Ageing slows blood flow, especially in the delicate under-eye region. Poor circulation causes blood to pool under the eyes, which gives off a bluish or purplish tint that deepens the look of dark circles.
Melanin production, which gives skin its colour, can change with age. These changes often result in hyperpigmentation in the under-eye area, making dark eye circles more apparent. For some people, the pigmentation is exacerbated by unprotected sun exposure and hormonal changes.
Chronic exposure to the sun accelerates ageing in the delicate skin around the eyes. UV rays break down collagen and increase pigmentation, both of which intensify the appearance of dark circles.
Years of poor sleep, stress, and an unhealthy lifestyle take a toll on the under-eye area. The lack of proper recovery and repair worsens the signs of ageing, including dark circles.
While ageing is inevitable, you can proactively reduce its impact on dark circles.
For more targeted solutions, consider professional dark eye circle removal treatments. Some of the treatments we recommend include:
The Fotona SP Dynamis Laser rejuvenates the under-eye area by using controlled laser energy to kickstart collagen production in the deeper dermal layers. It can reduce the appearance of dark eye circles caused by thinning skin and hyperpigmentation by targeting pigmentation and skin texture.
The laser’s dual-wavelength system ensures precise targeting, minimising downtime while delivering visible results.
Thermage FLX is a non-invasive skin-tightening procedure that employs radiofrequency technology to combat signs of ageing around the eyes. This treatment addresses sagging skin and fine lines, which amplify dark circles by creating shadows and hollows.
The radiofrequency energy heats the deep layer within the dermis, stimulating collagen regeneration and tightening existing collagen fibres. The result is a firmer, more lifted under-eye area with improved skin elasticity.
Juvelook combines collagen stimulation with hyaluronic acid-based hydration to rejuvenate the under-eye area. It is an injectable treatment that restores lost volume and promotes natural collagen production over time, providing long-lasting results.
Juvelook is ideal for addressing hollows under the eyes and improving skin quality. With this dual-action approach, patients can see immediate improvements in hydration and plumpness while getting the long-term benefits of increasing collagen.
Dark circles are a natural part of ageing, but you can take proactive steps to minimise their appearance. Achieving brighter and more youthful-looking eyes is possible with preventive measures, targeted skincare, and professional treatments.
