Concern
Dark Circles / Eye Bags
Dark circles and under-eye bags can make you look tired even when you're well rested. They can be caused by genetics, thin skin, hollowing or pigmentation.
After identifying the underlying cause, we recommend a gentle, tailored approach to refresh and brighten the delicate eye area.
Causes
What Causes Dark Circles / Eye Bags?
Under-eye concerns can stem from naturally thin skin showing underlying vessels, loss of volume creating shadowing, pigmentation, or fluid retention. Often it's a combination, which is why assessment is key.
What You May Notice
Signs & Symptoms
Dark shadowing
Discolouration under the eyes that can appear blue, purple or brown depending on the cause and skin tone.
Hollowing
A loss of volume that creates a sunken tear-trough and casts shadows.
Puffiness
Mild swelling or bags caused by fluid or fat positioning under the eyes.
