Preventing, reducing or concealing dark circles are three of the goals we most seek after 30, or even earlier! And it is that, as Dr. Deanne Robinson, specialized in cosmetic dermatology based in Westport, Connecticut, has explained to us, the causes of its appearance can be very varied and that will determine the treatment you must follow in each case. Do not miss it.

Beyond sleep deprivation, what else can cause dark circles under your eyes?

Allergies, diseases like anemia, thyroid problems or dermatitis are medical conditions that are related to dark circles under the eyes. In any case, for many of my patients the main concern is the visible signs of aging, which are the result of the loss of fatty tissue in that area. This loss and the thinning of the skin around the eyes reveal the vascular structure under the skin and create a "shadow" effect under the eye, making the skin appear darker.

What products do you recommend to treat it?

My favorite products in addition to Care, which we sell on my website, are Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment, which deflates the area and evens out the tone while moisturizing the skin; Restorsea Pro Line Blur Eye Cream hydrates dry skin thanks to its formula based on carite butter, palm oil, squalane and flower extract; SkinBetter Science, Enhance Instant Effect Gel Eye has caffeine that gives an instant firming effect to that delicate area and helps fight wrinkles; Care Skincare new launch Eye + Lip Nourishing Cream hydrates thanks to its peptides and illuminates due to its concentration in Vitamin C.

And what about treatments at the dermatologist's office?

Fillers can treat volume loss. Even a small amount can make a big difference. For veins, their appearance can be reduced with a laser, which locates hemoglobin and destroys it.

What is the best treatment for dark circles?

It depends on what causes them, which may be all the options that we mentioned at the beginning.

How can its occurrence be prevented?

Eating an iron-rich diet and avoiding allergens, which vary from person to person, but for example dairy is a fairly common culprit.
