Dark circles under the eyes usually aren’t a sign of exhaustion or serious illness, though they can make you feel old, unhealthy and tired.
Dark circles affect both men and women, often starting in young adulthood. If you get plenty of sleep and still have dark circles under your eyes, that is not unusual. Fatigue isn’t the only reason for under eye circles. What appear to be under eye circles are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of aging.
As an oculoplastic surgeon, this is Dr. Mary’s signature procedure, which is tailored to eliminate the appearance of hollow under eyes and dark circles.
What causes dark circles?
Here are some of the most common causes of true under eye circles:
- Heredity-dark circles and volume loss can run in the family
- Pigmentation irregularities
- Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen, common as you age, can make the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious.
Treating Under-Cycle Circles
Dr. Mary specializes in treating eyes as an oculoplastic surgeon and master injector. She was featured in Chicago Magazine as the Beauty Guru for tear trough filler. We have two approaches to correcting under eye circles and the surrounding area: we are able to use hyaluronic gels to fill and correct the appearance of dark circles or our signature treatment, RēvEyes.
Treatment Time
Your results from standard fillers will likely last around a year, while with our RēvEyes treatment is designed for patients who are looking for all natural rejuvenation without the use of fillers. This treatment utilizes your body’s natural fat to act as both fillers and down to the stem cell level to continuously improve the skin quality of the area.
