What Causes Dark Circles?
Dark circles under the eyes are a common concern that can make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel. They may be caused by a combination of genetics, thinning skin, loss of volume, or pigmentation. As the delicate under-eye skin becomes more translucent with age, blood vessels and hollows become more visible, leading to a shadowed appearance. Lifestyle factors such as sleep deprivation, allergies, and sun exposure can further intensify discolouration.
Whether your dark circles are due to pigmentation, structural hollowness, or skin laxity, we offer a range of advanced treatments and targeted skincare to restore brightness and vitality to the eye area.
Best Treatment for Dark Circles
For the most effective and targeted treatment of dark circles, we recommend PhilArt Eyes, a revolutionary injectable polynucleotide treatment designed specifically for the eye area.
PhilArt Eyes works at a cellular level to improve hydration, elasticity, and skin density while stimulating tissue regeneration. It reduces the appearance of pigmentation and shadows by enhancing microcirculation and collagen synthesis, making it ideal for treating dark circles caused by thinning skin. The result is brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking eyes.
