Under-eye Dark Circles

Although people generally attribute under-eye dark circles to tiredness and a lack of sleep, there may be more to it. Dark circles around the eye may be of great cosmetic concern to people suffering from it. The skin appears darker due to constricted blood vessels causing hyperpigmentation, or from thinning of the skin around the eyes. Various treatment modalities are available depending on the severity and discernible underlying cause. These include various topical medications, chemical peels, lasers and fillers.
