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.

Expert Tips

Dr Alexa's Advice

Effective treatment depends on whether the concern is pigment, hollowing, skin quality or a mix.

Protect and hydrate

SPF and good skincare help with pigmentation and skin quality around the eyes.

Prioritise sleep
