The eyes are the first features that draw other people’s attention. When the eyes look tired and puffy, it detracts from the overall appearance. Sometimes, even a good night’s sleep is not enough. There are many issues that cause dark circles, including eye bags from lower eyelid fat pockets and loss of volume of the lower eyelid, which occurs with age. Genetic predisposition and some medications can be responsible for hyper pigmentation of the skin. There can also be underlying allergies (rosacea) or thinning of the skin that allows the blood vessels to show through.
You are a good candidate for dark circle correction if you are in good physical health and have excess fat pockets around the lower eyelid area or have facial hollowing and volume loss in the lower eyelid and cheek areas noticeable as dark circles under the eyes. It is important that you have a realistic expectation from the procedure.
