Dark circles and bags under the eyes

Dark circles and bags under the eyes are a common affliction for women of all ages. Puffy eyes and unsightly dark circles make the face look tired and sad. Dark circles and bags under the eyes are sometimes associated with a medical condition, so women who struggle with under eye circles on a daily basis often hear questions about how they feel. These types of questions and the unattractive appearance of the skin around the eyes can cause psychological discomfort.

Puffiness and dark circles under the eyes can sometimes be covered up with makeup, but if cosmetics do not help, it is worth visiting a physician of aesthetic medicine. Modern aesthetic medicine has a wide range of treatments to firm the skin around the eyes and reduce unsightly dark circles and bags under the eyes.

Why do dark circles and bags appear under my eyes?

There are several reasons why women develop puffiness and dark circles under their eyes.

The first cause is lack of sufficient sleep, an unhealthy lifestyle and the use of inappropriate makeup and skin care products around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is very thin, has far fewer oil glands than the skin on the rest of the face and, moreover, has no sebaceous glands. This is why not getting enough sleep, smoking or wearing makeup can have an immediate negative effect on the skin condition around your eyes.

Another reason for the appearance of unsightly bags and dark circles under the eyes is the aging of the body. With age, the amount of subcutaneous fatty tissue, hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin in the skin decreases. As a result, the orbital region collapses, wrinkles appear, and the skin becomes flabby and saggy. After the age of 40, water and lymphatic stasis are also increasingly common, causing morning puffiness around the eyes.

Sometimes bags and dark circles around the eyes accompany us throughout our lives because they are genetically determined. Women with deep-set eyes or more melanin in their skin tend to have dark circles under their eyes.

Another cause is a disease developing in the body. Therefore, if bags and bruising under the eyes appeared suddenly, and our lifestyle has not changed, it is good to consult a physician to exclude the disease.
