Dark Circles

Sep 15, 2016 - By Dr. Martin Kassir

Treatment for dark circles under the eyes is a challenge for dermatologists and plastic surgeons in Dallas.  Dark circles under the eyes are typically more a cosmetic than a medical concern. The exact etiology of dark circles under the eyes is often difficult to pinpoint; there can be multiple causes.  This condition occurs in all sexes and races. Dark circles under the eyes could be due to excessive pigmentation, allergies, hormonal abnormalities, excess vascularity, or many other reasons. Treatment depends on the etiology and varies greatly; many home remedies exist that may improve dark circles under the eyes (such as extra sleep). Topical agents, chemical peels, lasers, needling, and surgery are just some of the treatments used for dark circles under the eye.
