The eyes are called the mirror of the soul, so it is not surprising that many people first of all pay attention to them. Circles forming under the eyes cause women many problems and worries. They try to disguise the flaw with the help of correctors and foundations. But this way cannot solve the problem. You can only hide it, and only temporarily. In order to radically eliminate the defect, it is necessary to first determine the cause, conduct a diagnosis and, only based on the results obtained, select treatment methods.
The main reasons for the appearance of circles
The skin around the eyes is perhaps the most delicate covering on the body. Collagen fibers
, contained in it, are arranged in the form of a grid. That is why the elasticity of the skin is significantly increased here. Blood vessels are located as close as possible to the surface of the skin. Without being saturated with oxygen, they appear strongly, creating the effect of “bruises” under the eyes.
Causes of darkening of the skin around the eyes:
- weakened state of the body, eye fatigue;
- problems in the functioning of the cardiovascular system;
- diseases of the liver, thyroid gland, kidneys;
- adverse reactions from taking any medications;
- abuse of spicy and salty foods;
- smoking and drinking alcohol;
- improper cosmetic care for the skin around the eyes;
- working with a computer for a long time;
- eye diseases;
- allergic reactions;
- lack of sleep and oxygen deprivation
- hereditary factor and so on.
Features of the manifestation of dark circles in women
The female body is subject to constant changes due to the influence of hormones. Pregnancy, menstrual cycle features and menopause
can also affect the appearance of dark circles in the eye area. In particular, during menstruation, the body loses a certain amount of blood, which leads to anemia. At the same time, the face may become paler, more haggard, and dark spots under the eyes are more clearly visible.
Age
- a frequent companion of dark circles. Over time, the skin inevitably ages and sagging occurs. In sagging areas, voids appear that are filled with adipose tissue. It is this that forms unpleasant spots on the eyes.
Advice. The appearance of circles due to skin aging is not a death sentence. Aging changes in the face can and should be fought. A properly selected set of procedures will get rid of “bruises” under the eyes.
Features of the epidermis
also play an important role in the presence of stains. The thinner and lighter the skin on the face, the more clearly dark pigmentation is visible. We should not forget that poor nutrition (abuse of salty and sweet foods, processed foods, love of fast food) can also provoke the appearance of circles.
Lack of moisture and vitamins
in the body are often the causes of discoloration of the skin around the eyes. Very often they can be observed in women who exhaust themselves with diets. Any skin disease provokes changes in pigmentation on the face, including under the eyes.
What can circles under the eyes indicate?
Often circles under the eyes are the cause of illness in women. “Bruises” may indicate the following diseases:
- Diseases of the gallbladder
, biliary tract. The main symptom of gallstone disease is unhealthy yellow skin on the face and dark circles under gases. - Vegetative-vascular dystonia
or other diseases of the cardiovascular system, hormonal disorders, oxygen starvation. They are indicated by the color of the circles - in this case they are blue or purple. - Low hemoglobin level
, lack of vitamins in the body. Thyroid diseases and diabetes mellitus also contribute to changes in skin color. Circles with such diagnoses have brown tints. - Gray or black circles should be especially alarming. They may indicate blood stagnation, and sometimes the presence of cancer
.
4). Contour plastic surgery
Eyelid contouring is performed on the same principle as mesotherapy. The difference lies in the drug administered. Contour plastic surgery is carried out using special substances called “fillers”. The composition of “fillers” is based on hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance that is involved in metabolism. Thus, when it is injected under the skin, restoration and nutrition processes are launched, which helps fight swelling, dark circles and facial wrinkles.
The skin in the orbital zone has unique properties; it is thin and susceptible to injury to a greater extent than the skin in other areas of the face, which is why separate preparations are being developed for this area. To solve the problem of dark circles and swelling during pregnancy or after childbirth, Teosyal PureSense Redensity II is recommended. But it should be noted that the procedure is recommended to be carried out after the lactation period.
The drug and the number of visits are selected by the cosmetologist depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, goals and skin condition.
To carry out the injection, the skin is cleaned and a local anesthetic (ointment) is applied. The injection itself is carried out into the eyelids or into the groove of the lacrimal gland. After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to normal activities. Swelling and blue discoloration around the eyes may appear for some time after the injection. These effects wear off within three to five days.
The positive effect of correction with hyaluronic acid lasts for 1 year, after which repeated contouring can be performed.
Contraindications to this type of plastic surgery are usually chronic inflammatory diseases, acute respiratory viral infections, and circulatory problems.
SkinLazerMed Medical Center offers you a wide range of procedures to correct dark circles and swelling that occur during pregnancy and after childbirth. On the day of the procedure, a consultation with a doctor is completely FREE. We carry out the procedure at the most affordable prices in St. Petersburg.
Diagnosis and identification of disease symptoms
Regardless of age, a woman who discovers circles under her eyes should consult a specialist to find out the reasons for their appearance. Only a doctor can accurately indicate whether the circles are the result of an unhealthy lifestyle or caused by some pathology.
The first step is to visit a therapist
. He will conduct an inspection and indicate further actions. It is necessary to have your blood and urine tested, as well as to have your major organs and systems examined. If the therapist determines that the patient has health problems, he refers her to a specialist with a narrower profile (gynecologist, endocrinologist, etc.)
If no deviations in your health are found, you should consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist. It is possible that dark circles under the eyes are caused by skin problems or allergic reactions of the body.
Only a doctor should determine the cause of dark circles. There is no need to try to diagnose yourself.
If you find dark semicircles on your face, do not panic. This does not always mean the presence of diseases and pathologies. Often circles are the result of skin problems or may be due to heredity.

Compresses around the eyes
Contrast compresses, like a contrast shower, improve blood circulation, increase elasticity and tighten the skin around the eyes. This procedure consists of alternately applying cotton pads soaked in hot water to the eyelids, and then in ice water. In this case, each compress should be kept for one minute so as not to damage the delicate skin around the eyes. Repeat the procedure 5 - 6 times. Plain water is suitable for preparing contrast compresses. But it is better to use decoctions of soothing herbs (chamomile, sage, linden blossom, cornflower).
You can also use strong chamomile tea for these purposes. To prepare a herbal solution for a compress, 2 tsp. When collecting plants or individual herbs, pour 100 ml of boiling water, close the container and let the product brew for 15 minutes.
The strained infusion is poured equally into two containers, into one of which we add 3 ice cubes.
If you want to not only learn how to get rid of circles under the eyes, but also prevent the appearance of puffiness under the eyes, we recommend wiping the area around the eyes with ice cubes every morning. This procedure tones the skin, increases blood circulation and helps to expand pores, so that the skin not only breathes, but also absorbs the maximum amount of nutrients.
The time required to manipulate ice cubes should not exceed one minute, otherwise you may get frostbite on the skin. In addition, it is recommended to wrap the cubes in cloth to make the procedure more comfortable for both the face and fingers.
Additional recommendations
- Sleep at least 8 hours a day. However, the main thing here is not to overdo it and find the “golden mean”. For those who spend a lot of time lying down, bluish circles are not uncommon. Therefore, scientists also do not recommend sleeping for more than 9 hours.
- Try to be outdoors every day. If you don’t have this opportunity on weekdays, organize a multi-hour walk on a weekend. Why not? Combine business with pleasure
