Dark Circles: What Are They?
Men and women alike may experience dark circles under their eyes, which can give the face a worn-out, aged, or ill appearance. Because the skin beneath the eyes is thin and fragile, pigmentation, hollowness, and visible blood vessels are more likely to occur there.

Although dark circles are frequently linked to exhaustion or sleep deprivation, a variety of variables, including heredity, lifestyle, and vascular or pigmentary alterations, might contribute to their development. In order to address the underlying cause of dark circles and restore a rested, renewed appearance, Rasa Derm provides non-invasive, clinically validated treatments.
Multifaceted, dark circles may be caused by one or many underlying problems. Finding the underlying problem is essential to choosing the best course of action typical reasons include:
Some people are born with more pigmentation behind their eyes or naturally deeper tear troughs; these traits are frequently passed down via families. One of the most frequent causes of chronic dark circles that don’t go away with topical treatments alone is this propensity, which makes the under-eye area appear darker even in children.
The skin behind your eyes is already thinner than other parts of your face, and it gets much more delicate as you age because collagen and elastin levels drop. This gives the area a bluish or violet hue by highlighting the muscles and blood vessels underneath.
An excess of melanin can result from sun exposure, frequent eye rubbing, and post-inflammatory changes brought on by eczema or allergies. This causes brownish discoloration, which is more noticeable in skin tones that are medium to deeper.
In addition to making your skin appear lifeless, getting too little sleep causes blood vessels to dilate and fluid to accumulate beneath your eyes, which accentuates puffiness and dark circles.
Histamine is released during allergic reactions, which results in swelling, irritation, and eye rubbing. Over time, this causes irritation and breaks sensitive capillaries, darkening the skin beneath the eyes.
The under-eye area appears hollow or sunken as a result of natural fat and collagen loss that occurs with aging. These shadows can exacerbate the look of dark circles by imitating pigmentation.
Low iron, vitamin K, or B12 levels and inadequate water intake decrease the oxygenation and nourishment supply to the sensitive skin beneath the eyes, giving it a drained, lifeless appearance and increasing its susceptibility to discoloration.
We customize under-eye treatments based on the cause—whether it’s pigmentation, thin skin, or volume loss. Each treatment is designed to be gentle yet effective on delicate skin.
