Why we get eye bags and dark circles

  • Aging

    As we age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and loses fat and collagen, making blood vessels more visible.

    Statistics: Dark circles become more common after the age of 30, affecting approximately 60% of adults in their 40s and beyond.

  • Lifestyle

    Lack of sleep, stress, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake can lead to fluid retention and dilated blood vessels, which worsen dark circles.

    Statistics: Studies show that sleep deprivation contributes to dark circles in approximately 40-50% of people, with symptoms more pronounced after consistent poor sleep.

  • Dehydration and Poor Diet

    Dehydration causes skin to appear dull and sunken, emphasizing dark circles. Deficiencies in nutrients like iron (anemia) can exacerbate the condition.

    Statistics: Anemia is linked to dark circles in up to 30% of individuals with iron deficiency, particularly in women and vegetarians.

Treatment options in clinic

  • Microneedling

    Effectiveness: Studies report 30-50% improvement in pigmentation after 4-6 sessions.

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

    PRP, derived from the patient’s blood, is injected into the under-eye area to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve skin texture, and reduce pigmentation.

    Effectiveness: Studies show PRP can reduce dark circles by 50-70% after 3-4 sessions. It improves skin quality and reduces hollowness.

  • Polynucleotides 

    Polynucleotides, derived from DNA fragments, are injected to enhance cell repair, improve skin elasticity, and promote hydration. This reduces pigmentation and under-eye hollows.

    Effectiveness: Clinical evidence shows significant improvement in skin hydration and elasticity after 2-4 treatments. Results last 6-12 months.

  • Chemical Peels

    Peels containing glycolic acid, lactic acid, or TCA exfoliate the skin, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin texture by stimulating new cell growth.

    Effectiveness: Clinical studies show a 20-50% reduction in pigmentation after 3-6 treatments.
