The eyes are one of the prominent features of the face whose appearance matters for facial aesthetics. The under-eye area plays a role in interpersonal communication. It is crucial for the eye to eye contact and its appearance tells about one’s health status, interests, emotions, and whether fatigued or stressed. However, everyone cannot look flawless all the time. Most people have dark circles under their lower eyelids often accompanied by bags. Having dark circles is a normal part of being a human. But, in modern times, most people find dark circles a major cosmetic concern and wish to get them treated. For some people, dark circles can indicate an impending condition and also foretell a serious health issue like kidney deficiencies or unhealthy blood sugar levels. The good news is that dark circles can be curedor significantly reduced to restore the vibrancy of the face in several ways.
The best treatments to get rid of unwanted dark circles in Faridabad is offered by dermatologist Dr. Soumya Singh at The Skin Clinique.
What are Under-Eye Dark Circles?
Dark circles a.k.a periorbital dark circles refer to the dark-skinned area beneath the lower eyelids. There are different kinds of dark circles based on their appearance and how they are formed, including:
- Pigmented dark circles: These are caused by uneven distribution or extra melanin pigment in the skin beneath the eyes.
- Vascular dark circles: These are referred to as pink, blue, or purple discoloration beneath the eyes along with puffiness. In some cases, these under-eye dark circles are characterized by the appearance of veins because of the thinning of the facial skin which causes the reduced blood flow in that area and retention of fluids.
- Structural dark circles: These are formed due to the shadow effect of skin laxity, subcutaneous fat loss, and bags in the under-eye area.
- Mixed dark circles: These types of dark circles exhibit the feature of pigmented, vascular, and structural dark circles.
One can consult Dr. Soumya Singh, dermatologist in Faridabad at The Skin Clinique to know the root cause that are causing dark circles and to achieve youthful radiant look.
Who Gets Under-Eye Dark Circles?
Anyone can be affected by dark circles. However, this dermatologist concern is mostly seen in:
- Older adults
- Individuals having a genetic predisposition to dark circles- a condition called periorbital hyperpigmentation
- Dark-skinned people or those having non-white ethnic backgrounds who are more prone to experience hyperpigmentation around their eyes.
What Causes Dark Circles?
The under-eye area has the most delicate and thinnest skin elsewhere on the face. There are no sebaceous glands present in the finely textured epidermis/dermis of this region. That’s why, the skin under the lower eyelids is ultra-susceptible to dark circles, rings, or shadows.
There are many reasons largely to be blamed for the appearance of dark circles, such as:
- Heredity- Dark circles in early childhood can be seen as inherited traits. Over the years, these might appear darker or get lighter. Some people also have a family history of medical conditions like thyroid disease, which could result in under-eye dark circles.
- Aging- Natural aging can result in thinning of the skin. As one gets older, there is a loss of skin elasticity, volume, and firmness due to a lack of subcutaneous fat, collagen, and elastin. When all this happens, the dark blood vessels underlying the skin become more prominent, thereby causing the area below the eyes to appear dark.
- Tear-Trough Hallows- These are indentations formed at an angle from the inner eye corner to the cheeks. Sometimes, the skin in this area appears darker than the remaining facial skin.
- Too Much Sun Exposure- If the eyes are not kept sun-protected, repeated or overexposure of the delicate skin beneath the eyes to direct sunlight could stimulate excess melanin production. With excess skin-colored pigment in the under-eye region, the area becomes hyperpigmented/darker than the surrounding skin.
- Lack of Sleep/ Fatigue- People who do not take enough sleep have sluggish blood circulation and more deoxygenated blood building up so close to the surface of the skin in the under-eye area that makes eye circles more noticeable and darker.
- Dehydration- This is the natural most common cause of dark circles. When the skin beneath the eyes is not kept well-hydrated (especially in old people), it would appear dull and the eyes would look sunken because of the proximity of the eyes to the underlying bone.
- Eye Strain- Staring at the computer, television, or mobile phone screen can strain eyes and result in enlarged blood vessels around the eyes. This could result in darker skin surrounding the eyes.
- Allergies Like Hay Fever- Dark circles can be triggered by dryness of the eyes or the release of histamine during allergic reactions in the eye area. Histamine causes dilation of blood vessels in the eye area which makes them more visible beneath the skin. Furthermore, allergies cause itchiness, redness, and puffy eyes that lead to dark shadows under the eyes.
- Anemia- Iron deficiency can result in low levels of red blood cells in the blood- a condition called anemia.

- Physical or mental stress
- Hormonal changes
- Smoking tobacco
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Frequent eye rubbing
- Thyroid disease
- A side effect of eye drop treatment for glaucoma, like Bimatoprost

Firstly, dermatologist Dr. Soumya Singh performs a complete assessment of the problem and designs a personalized comprehensive protocol that is tailored to the needs of the client, delivered in a logical sequence of treatments, and can treat all causes of periorbital pigmentation.

The medical treatment of under-eye dark circles in Faridabad offered by Dr. Soumya Singhwould involve one or several aesthetic modalities such as:
- Topical creams- There are some bleaching creams including tretinoin and/or hydroquinone that can lighten the skin under the eyes. Other skin-lightening creams that can help include those containing kojic acid, Azelaic acid, Glycolic acid, and Vitamin C.
- Chemical Peels- Some specialized acidic solutions/ chemical peels such as 20% trichloroacetic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or carbolic acids can help reduce hyperpigmentation under the eyes.
- Growth Factor- Growth Factor treatments involve the delivery of natural growth factors and collagen into the skin of the under-eye area via growth factor injections to boost the tissue and trigger skin regeneration. It is a natural, non-invasive solution to get rid of under-eye dark circles and bags. The treatment involves extraction of the patient’s blood, separation of blood components via centrifugation, preparing of growth factor injections from isolated growth factor, and finally injecting growthfactor into the under-eye area.
- Dermal Fillers- If dark circles are the result of loss of skin volume or hydration, soft tissue fillers like hyaluronic acid or any collagen-boosting filler can be administered into the under-eye area. These filters can help provide structural support to the under-eye area, make the skin plump, and improve tear trough hallows and darkness.
- Laser Therapy- Lasers are categorized into two types: Ablative and Non-ablative. Less invasive types of lasers like pulse dye or diode lasers can most effectively treat dark circles by targeting the vascularity and pigmentation of the under-eye area without many side effects.

What Happens during Laser Tattoo Removal?
While performing laser tattoo removal, two techniques can be used:
1. Passive laser treatment- It is a simpler and affordable procedure, best suited to remove faded or light-colored tattoos, in less time.
2. Active laser treatment- It is an advanced, more comprehensive laser tattoo removal approach, ideal for most tattoos. An active laser ensures that the tattooed pigment within the skin loses all its color and turns into a shade that closely resembles natural skin pigment. To achieve optimum results, this treatment requires multiple consecutive laser sessions.
Generally, the laser tattoo removal session involves the following steps:
- The candidate will be provided with a protective eye shield to wear while receiving laser tattoo removal. Even the laser technician will wear them to protect eyes from getting harmed by laser light.
- The laser technician carries out a patch skin test to check the skin’s reaction to the laser and determine the most effective energy for the treatment.
- Next, the laser technician passes a pulse of intense light through the superficial skin layers that get only absorbed by the tattoo particles. At this time, the candidates can expect slight discomfort which can be described as a warm elastic band hitting against the skin. The surrounding areas of the treatment site will be kept covered with clothing.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
Following the laser tattoo removal, the candidate can expect to experience slight redness (erythema), swelling (edema), or/and tenderness in the treatment area that quickly resolves in some time. Scabbing, flaking, irritation, or blistering of the skin is also more likely to occur which may persist for a few days.
Immediately after the laser tattoo removal session, the tattoo may appear to be the same as before or lighten, darken, or fade. On average, the fragmented tattoo inks take 6-12 weeks to be eliminated by the body via the lymphatic system. Therefore, the results will be noticeable only after 8-12 weeks. Multiple laser sessions (usually 6-8) spaced a few weeks apart are usually required to get the best-desired results. The response of the treated area varies from one candidate to another depending upon the extent of the treatment.
