Dark Circles and Tired Eyes: a Concern after the Pandemic

Sesión para eliminar ojeras y bolsas en la consulta

The use of masks makes our eyes stand out within the face, but also gives more visibility to dark circles, and in some cases, even to tired eyes. Many patients come to the office asking me how they can treat and reduce dark circles on their face.

But why are Dark Circles Formed?

Dark circles, these purple and even black marks in some cases, can originate after a series of external factors, such as tiredness, poor diet, frequent smoking, and high consumption of caffeine and alcohol.

Other factors that we should also consider are genetic predisposition and the color of our skin, which also interferes with the pigmentation of our dark circles; people with dark complexions tend to show darker circles than those with lighter complexions.

How Can We Conceal Dark Circles on the Face?

Although there are many home remedies that can help us reduce them in the short term, such as placing cold water compresses or tea bags on the eyes, if we want more lasting effects, hyaluronic acid injections are a great alternative to achieve a rested and youthful look, as well as to slightly elevate the infraorbital area.

Never hesitate to consult with our doctors if we observe that our dark circles do not lighten or diminish with the recommendations given, as it could be a symptom of other problems.
