Before exploring Mesotherapy treatment in Dubai for dark circles treatment, let’s first see how dark circles are caused in the first place.

What causes dark circles

The average skin thickness on our body is around 2-3 mm thick. However, that of under the eyes, or the periorbital area, is comparably thinner: in the range of 0.5 mm. The thinner skin under the eyes causes the blood vessels beneath the surface to become more visible; making the skin under the eye appear dark in color.

That said, there are various reasons that cause dark circles to appear. They can be broadly divided into two reasons: inherited and external factors. The external reasons are:

  • Both sleep deprivation and oversleeping can cause your eyes to appear swollen and dark.
  • Aging causes natural collagen production to drop drastically making it difficult for the skin to replenish
  • Dehydration can lead to dullness and sinking of the skin underneath the skin
  • Fatigue is one the most common reasons for dark circles to appear under the skin
  • Looking at the screen of a desktop, TV, mobile phone, etc. for too long as part of your job or habits, can cause dark circles to enlarge.
  • Some people also have some allergies that cause the body to release harmful chemicals that cause the blood vessels to dilate and become more visible.
  • Consistent exposure to sunlight can also cause dark circles by producing a significant level of melanin.

What is Mesotherapy treatment for dark circles
