Eye circles symptoms

Eye circles, also known as periorbital hyperpigmentation, manifest as dark circles or shadows around the eyes. They may be accompanied by:

• Puffiness or "bags" under the eyes
• Skin that appears thinner and paler, making the underlying blood vessels more visible
• Depressions in the skin around the eyes

Eye circles causes

Circles under the eyes can be caused by various factors:

• Aging: With age, the skin loses collagen and becomes thinner. This can make the dark blood vessels under the skin more visible.
• Inheritance: Genetics play a role, and dark circles can run in families.
• Lifestyle factors: Lack of sleep, stress and smoking can increase dark circles.
• Nutrition and hydration: An unhealthy diet and insufficient fluid intake can contribute.
• Allergies: Allergic reactions and eye irritation may cause swelling and dark circles.

Eye circles treatment

Our clinic offers a combination of CO2 laser and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for the treatment of dark circles.

The CO2 laser works by targeting the skin around the eye. It removes dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production, which helps to tighten the skin and improve its appearance.

PRP involves injecting plasma, derived from your own blood and enriched, into the skin around the eye. It uses your body's natural healing abilities to regenerate and renew the skin.

If desired, after three sessions an additional Polynucleotide Skinbooster (PhilArt Eye) be used. This skin booster hydrates the skin from within and improves its texture and quality, which leads to an additional reduction of dark circles.
