Is it true that dark under-eye circles may not always be due to lack of sleep?
Dark under-eye circles or 'panda eyes' are a common concern for many individuals. These dark areas can make one's face appear tired, haggard, and older, potentially leading to a loss of confidence.
Many people have attempted various methods to improve or eliminate these dark circles, including using cosmetics to conceal the under-eye area or applying eye creams nightly in hopes of finding a solution. However, the problem often persists. SINOTA would like to invite everyone to explore the possibility that the persistent darkness under our eyes may not always be caused by insufficient sleep.
What are the causes of dark under-eye circles?
- Ageing The under-eye area contains a significant amount of fat, which contributes to a youthful and refreshed appearance when we are younger. However, as we age, this fat gradually diminishes, causing the under-eye area to appear more hollow. This hollowness can make the face look older.
- Allergies Individuals with allergies often have enlarged blood vessels around the eyes, which can cause itching and frequent eye-rubbing. This irritation can stimulate increased pigment production in the area, leading to darker under-eye skin.
- Sun exposure UV rays are notoriously damaging to the skin, and the delicate under-eye area is particularly vulnerable. Frequent sun exposure can thin the skin in this area and accelerate pigment production.
- Insufficient rest and stress Long-standing contributors to dark under-eye circles, lack of rest and stress can disrupt the balance of blood circulation, making the under-eye area more susceptible to discolouration.
- Genetics If early bedtimes and eye creams haven't improved your dark circles, genetics may be a factor. Inherited traits passed down through generations can result in naturally darker under-eye skin. This is commonly observed in individuals of Indian, Arabic, or European descent.
Is "Filler" a solution for dark under-eye circles?
Despite our best efforts to reduce dark under-eye circles through natural methods like cucumber or tomato compresses, or early bedtimes, the problem often persists. More intensive treatments may be necessary, such as specialised skincare for the eye area or dermal fillers.
What are "Fillers"?
Fillers, or Hyaluronic Acid (HA), have properties that help retain moisture (hydration) and replace collagen and hyaluronic acid naturally lost as we age. They can be used to augment various facial areas including the lips, nasolabial folds, temples, forehead, and under-eyes. For the under-eye area, fillers can help reduce the appearance of hollowness, creating a more youthful, refreshed look. The skin appears firmer and smoother. Fillers are composed of substances naturally present in the human body and are biodegradable, making them a highly safe option.
Before administering fillers, SINOTA's team of expert physicians always conducts a thorough assessment of the patient's concerns. They also carefully select the appropriate filler brand and type to ensure natural-looking results without lumpiness.
Restylane Filler
Restylane filler, originating from Sweden, belongs to the Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal filler category. It is approved and registered by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and is imported by Galderma Thailand.
Injecting filler in the under-eye area can address issues such as hollowness, fine lines, and dark circles, restoring a more vibrant appearance. The filler helps distribute pigmentation in the under-eye area, resulting in a brighter look. Typically, 1-2 cc of filler is used for the under-eye area (depending on individual needs), with immediate visible results. Generally, fillers last in the body for approximately 6-12 months, though this can vary based on individual lifestyles.
Before treating any cosmetic concern, it's crucial to understand its root cause to determine the most effective treatment approach. Everyone is welcome to consult with SINOTA's physicians, who possess high expertise and extensive experience in filler injections. SINOTA emphasises addressing concerns precisely and performing procedures that yield naturally beautiful results.
Considering the significance of addressing skin issues and enhancing overall beauty, consulting with Sinota Clinic is a wise step towards elevating your unique beauty identity, ensuring it leaves a lasting impression.
