Dark circles can result from brownish to bluish skin tone or a shadowing effect in the eye area. They can lead to a tired, old and sickly appearance. Though not a health condition, it may be a significant facial aesthetic concern. Dark circles may become challenging to treat and require advanced procedures performed by a qualified medical professional.
The condition, also known as Periorbital Hyperpigmentation (POH), Periorbital Melanosis, Infraorbital Darkening and Infraorbital Discolouration, affects up to 48% of people in the 16-25 age group.

Poor intake of essential nutrients like iron and Vitamin B12 may cause dark circles.
The results of dark circle treatment depend on the cause, type and severity of the condition and the modality selected. However, improving your nutritional intake, hydration, sleep, and lifestyle habits can help prolong the results. Your doctor may advise maintenance sessions if needed.
Healthy sleeping habits, balanced nutrition and lifestyle may help reduce and prevent dark circles.
Massaging doesn’t remove dark circles. Excessive rubbing can cause friction-induced dark circles. Instead of trying self-care methods and home remedies with unproven safety and efficacy, opt for early medical help for the best results of advanced treatments.
Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant. It cannot alone remove dark circles. However, vital supplements can increase your nutritional intake with a balanced diet. Your doctor can diagnose any underlying deficiencies and prescribe nutritional medicines to improve your health.
