Hyaluronic acid injections are therefore extremely effective in correcting problems associated with dark circles.
What are dark circles ?
Dark circles refer to the lower eye area.
The skin in this area is the thinnest on the face and is therefore very fragile.
There are different types of dark circles :
- Blue or purple dark circles : these are not a sign of skin aging and are the most common. Their origin is often hereditary and can appear very early in some people.
- Brown or brown pigmented circles: the causes of these colored circles differ from blue circles in that the latter are due to an excess of melanin. In particular, they can be accentuated by sun exposure. This type of dark circles is generally found in darker skin types, so hereditary predisposition is also possible.
- Hollow circles: this type of dark circles is due to the effect of skin aging. Indeed, with age, skin becomes thinner and subcutaneous fat diminishes.
- Full dark circles: a pocket of fat, known as periorbital fat, forms the eye to protect it. With age, this mass can melt or fall away due to sagging skin – this is the effect of gravity or ptosis.
When to inject hyaluronic acid to fill dark circles?
As hyaluronic acid is basically a filling product, it can only be injected into hollow rings. The injections therefore make it possible to rejuvenate the eyes by filling in the hollow of the rings. For an overall anti-ageing effect, the injection of hyaluronic acid can be extended to the valley of tears and the cheekbones. The aesthetic doctor can then rely on the MD Codes to create a personalised treatment plan.
