Under-eye dark circles are a common skin issue, defined as a change or darkening of the skin around the eyes. In this article, we will explore the causes of under-eye dark circles, various treatment methods for dark circles, and the relationship between PRP treatment and under-eye dark circles. 

What are the Causes of Under-eye Dark Circles?

Genetic factors, aging, allergies, sleep disorders, stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, nutritional deficiencies, sun exposure, eye strain, eye infections, eye dryness, eye allergies, and eye trauma are among the various factors contributing to under-eye dark circles. Each of these factors can lead to thinning of the skin under the eyes, increased visibility of blood vessels, or enhanced pigmentation, resulting in dark circles or discoloration.

The question "How to prevent under-eye dark circles?" is one that many people, from various age groups, enquire in their daily lives. Factors such as the stressful lifestyle in major cities, chronic lack of sleep or depression, and intensive smoking and alcohol use can lead to undesired changes in skin color around the eyes, gradually turning into darkness.     

To prevent under-eye dark circles as a skin issue, consider making simple changes in your lifestyle. Here are some changes you can make in your daily routine: 

• Prioritize adequate and regular sleep. During sleep, the skin undergoes renewal, and blood circulation improves, reducing the accumulation of blood under the eyes. Sufficient and peaceful sleep not only benefits the skin but also helps alleviate other issues like chronic fatigue, weakness, and headaches. 
• Keep your body and skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Water assists in toxin elimination and helps maintain skin elasticity.

• Maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin C, Vitamin K, iron, and zinc, can negatively impact skin health. 
• Avoid or reduce smoking and alcohol consumption. Both substances delay skin oxygenation and constrict blood vessels, leading to impaired blood flow under the eyes and causing dark purple circles.
• Protect yourself from excessive sunlight. Sunlight increases melanin production in the skin, triggering pigmentation. Especially in our country, when the sun is more direct during the summer months, use sunscreen and wear sunglasses.
• Rest your eyes during the day. Prolonged exposure to computer, phone, or television screens can cause eye strain and muscle spasms, leading to the dilation of blood vessels under the eyes and discoloration. Take breaks, close your eyes frequently, and pause your screen-related activities.
• Please consult a doctor if you experience eye infections, allergies, or dryness. These conditions can exacerbate inflammation or irritation around the eyes and affect dark circles. Never neglect your eye care under any circumstances. 
• If you have implemented certain changes in your life and still haven't achieved positive results in reducing under-eye dark circles, you may explore treatment methods, including PRP applications.
