Hi, this is Dr. Yuki.
Today more and more people are concerned about dark circles under eyes. Did you know there are some kinds of that?
Let’s talk about it!
Dark circles under the eyes can be categorized into three main types based on their underlying causes: fat, muscle and blood streams, and blood flow disorders. Understanding the type can help in identifying the most effective treatment:
1. Fat
These dark circles occur when there’s a loss or redistribution of fat in the under-eye area, leading to a hollowed appearance and shadowing.
2. Muscle and Blood Streams
Dark circles from muscle and blood streams are due to visible underlying blood vessels and muscles through thin skin.
3. Blood Flow Disorders
Poor blood circulation can lead to dark circles as blood pools under the eyes, giving a bluish or purplish tint.
Understanding these categories can help in choosing the right remedies or treatments, such as skincare products, lifestyle changes, or professional procedures like fillers or laser treatments.
