,Sometimes our eyes can make us appear more tired and stressed than we actually are. But why do we get dark under eyes? The skin on our face is much thinner than anywhere else on our body, therefore, when we are tired the blood vessels under the eyes can dilate, resulting in visible red or purple colouring giving the appearance of dark shadows under the eyes. Keep reading to find out how to eliminate under eye bags!
These dark shadows could be because of a number of reasons. The most obvious being a lack of sleep. We all know that beauty sleep is essential in order for skin’s health, as it gives our body time to repair itself. However, you may find that you are getting a full 8 hours + sleep each night but these dark shadows are still appearing. There are other factors which contribute to dark circles such as:
- Your DNA
Most people do not realise that dark circles can be hereditary. Sometimes it is simply just something you’ve got from your parents.
- Lost weight
When you lose weight around your eyes you are ultimately losing the padding around the eye. This causes the orbital bone to become more defined. Which makes the eye shape more hollow causing the appearance of a dark circle under the eye.
- Periorbital hyperpigmentation
Although this is more common in people with darker skin tones, this is the darkening of the pigment under the eye, making it appear darker.
- Aging
As you age the skin under your eyes loses definition and firmness due to a decrease of production of collagen and elastin.
- Sun exposure
Premature aging is often caused by over exposure to the sun. Due to how thin the skin around the eyes are, this is often one of the first places you will start to see signs of aging.
While it is not always possible to completely stop your eyes from forming dark shadows, there are treatments to help counteract it. At Simply Clinics we offer under eye filler which helps to remove eye bags, lines and dark shadows under the eyes.
How do Under Eye Fillers work?
Under eye fillers are dermal fillers which contain hyaluronic acid which works to increase production of collagen and elastin. It is this collagen which helps to keep the skin tight and smooth, giving a more youthful appearance, helping to eliminate under eye bags.
The process is relatively quick, taking less than half an hour and has minimal pain. The results can also be long lasting, making your eyes look significantly younger for up to one year!
