What causes dark circles under your eyes?

Dark circles under your eyes can happen for many reasons. One of the most common causes of dark circles is aging. As you age, the skin below your eyes begins to loosen and thin out so the blood vessels under your skin may become more visible. This can darken the appearance of your under eyes. Hollowed areas called tear troughs may develop as well. Tear troughs cause shadows that increase the appearance of puffy eyes.

Other causes of dark circles under your eyes may include:

  • Genetics: Studies have shown that dark circles under your eyes may run in families.
  • Dermatitis: Eczema and contact dermatitis can cause the blood vessels under your eyes to dilate and show through your skin.
  • Rubbing your eyes: Rubbing and scratching your eyes can cause your under eyes to swell and your blood vessels to break.
  • Lack of sleep: Poor sleeping habits cause the skin under your eyes to appear pale. Your blood vessels can easily show through your skin.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Too much exposure to the sun triggers your body to make more melanin. Melanin is the substance (pigment) that gives your skin its color.
  • Dehydration: The skin under your eyes can start to look dull when you don’t drink enough water.
  • Lifestyle factors: Other factors such as stress, excessive alcohol use and smoking can cause dark circles under your eyes.

What medical treatment options are available to treat dark circles under the eyes?

If you’re hoping to remove your dark circles fast and permanently, call your healthcare provider. They can let you know what treatment options are available for your skin condition. Medical treatment options for dark circles under your eyes may include:

  • Topical creams and bleaching agents: Topical creams, such as vitamin C, and bleaching agents, such as hydroquinone, can help lighten the appearance of dark circles under your eyes.
  • Chemical peels: Chemical peels use alpha-hydroxy acids to reduce the pigmentation under your eyes.
  • Laser therapy: Laser procedures can help resurface and tighten your skin. Noninvasive laser options include pulsed dye and diode lasers.
  • Tissue fillers: Injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid gel can increase volume and help smooth out your skin.
  • Eyelid surgery: In a procedure called blepharoplasty, excess fat and skin are removed from your eye area.
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections: These injections can repair the skin around your eyes, speed of blood vessel growth and strengthen collagen and your skin.
