Dark circles under the eyes

Dark circles under the eyes develop as a result of a loss of subcutaneous fatty tissue, the skin's own hyaluronic acid and collagen, shimmering vessels beneath the skin, or hyperpigmentation. The area beneath the eye appears dark or sunken. Depending on the underlying cause, fillers, autologous fat, resurfacing procedures, or combinations thereof may be employed. Accurate diagnosis is essential, as not every type responds to the same treatment. The appropriate specialist to consult is a board-certified plastic and aesthetic surgeon, as the anatomy of the periorbital region is complex and effective treatment requires corresponding expertise.
