What are Dark Circles?
When light, dark brown, or black pigmentation forms around the eyes, they create dark circles. Also known as periorbital hyperpigmentation, dark circles form when melanin collects around the eyes. Even though anyone with a penchant for staying up all night or iron deficiency can develop dark circles under the eye, they are more noticeable in people with lighter skin tones, as the veins around the eyes create a red or blue shadow.
What are the Causes of Under Eye Dark Circles?
Various factors cause dark circles, from genetic factors to poor lifestyles. As you grow older, your body’s collagen level decreases, affecting the skin’s elasticity and thinning the area around the eyes. In addition to external factors, the accumulation of fluids under the eyes can also cause under-eye dark circles. Some common causes of dark circles are:
- Exhaustion and lack of sleep
- Fatigue
- Aging, as it affects the skin’s elasticity
- Genetic predisposition
- Allergies to cosmetic products
- Severe sun exposure
- Counter-reaction to certain drugs
- Dehydration
- Iron or Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Fluid collection around the eyes
- Anemia
- Irregular pigmentation
- Smoking
- Thyroid problems
Symptoms of Under Eye Dark Circles
Dark circles can appear under anyone’s eyes, regardless of age or gender. They can affect all individuals, from men and women to children and aged folks. If you notice (any of) the following symptoms, you can contact our specialists at Labelle for a laser dark circle treatment:
- Red-blue tint under the eyes
- A purple shadow around the eyes
- Dullness or exhaustion on the face
- Noticeable blood vessels under the skin
- Eye bags
- Puffiness under the eyes
Different Types of Dark Circles
There are four primary types of dark circles:
- Vascular: When veins beneath the skin start becoming noticeable on thinning faces, it is a sign of poor blood circulation and accumulation of fluid. In such cases, the area under the eye starts looking blue, pink, or purple
- Brown Tint Circles: When extra melanin collects under the skin, or the pigmentation is irregular, then dark circles form under the eye.
- Structural Circles: Aging causes thinning facial skin and loss of skin flexibility, leading to eye bags and the formation of structural circles.
- Mixed Circles: When aging combines with irregular pigmentation and fluid collection around the eyes, the dark circles that form are a mixture of all three.
Labelle’s Under Eye Dark Circles Treatment
Labelle’s specialists have used cutting-edge technology and expertise to design three effective under eye dark circles treatment procedures to remove dark circles: chemical peels, hyaluronic acid fillers, and dermal fillers.
- Chemical Peels: Applying chemical peels under the eye can reduce the dark shadows caused by dark circles. In this procedure, our doctors use glycolic acid, lactic acid, and trichloroacetic acid in concentrated amounts to fix periorbital dark circles. However, chemical peels can cause itching and redness if not applied correctly, as the eye area is sensitive—Labelle’s doctors are well-trained and skilled to perform this treatment.
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: This dark circle removal procedure entails our dermatologists using hyaluronic acid fillers to treat the hollow area under the eyes. This treatment reduces eye puffiness and makes you look less tired.
- Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers treatment is one of the most preferred procedures. In this method, our doctors will apply gel fluids under the eye to undo your dark circles caused by thinning facial skin and tear troughs.

How to Prevent Dark Circles?
While you cannot control genetic factors, you can change your lifestyle to prevent dark circles from forming.
- Proper sleep: Many studies have suggested that lack of sleep causes dark circles, whereas having sound and uninterrupted sleep of 6-7 hours prevents irregular pigmentation.
- Avoid Drinking and Smoking: Smoking and alcohol accelerate your aging process. These habits can lead to wrinkling, grey hair, and puffiness under the eyes, increasing the chances of dark circles.
- Controlled Sun Exposure: Make sure to apply sunscreen around the eyes and wear sunglasses when going out in the sun, as extreme sun exposure is a common cause of dark circles.
- Hydration: Dehydration causes dark circles, as lack of water hinders your skin from getting nourished. Therefore, drink lots of water to control your blood circulation and keep your eyes dark circles-free.
