Types of dark circles under the eyes and how they appear
There are several types of dark circles under the eyes, each with characteristics that require specific treatments.
Dark circles under the eyes have a purplish or veiny color. They are generally of constitutional and hereditary origin. This type of dark circle is due to the thinness of the lower eyelid skin, which makes the blood pigments under the dermis visible. When dark circles under the eyes are brown, they may be related to hyperpigmentation of the skin, almost always of ethnic origin.
The hollow circles correspond to a loss of volume in the palpebral-juice fold. This loss of volume is in most cases due to the natural aging process, but fatigue and genetic predisposition can also contribute to it.
Dark circles under the eyes give the face an aged and tired appearance.
Full or puffy dark circles are due to the presence of bags under the eyes. Specifically, the lower eyelids are “full” because the fat of the eye is blocked and permanently stretches the skin of the lower eyelid. Dark circles under the eyes should not be confused with bags under the eyes that appear in the morning upon awakening. In the case of eye bags, it is the fact of lying down for many hours that causes an accumulation of lymph during the night. This phenomenon disappears shortly after waking up.

To fight dark circles under the eyes, it is possible to use hyaluronic acid injections to give the lower eyelid a fuller appearance, thus avoiding the demarcation between the eyelid and the upper part of the cheekbone, which gives a tired and sad look. The injection session lasts about 20 minutes and results are immediately visible. It is advisable to repeat the treatment every one or two years.
