Eye problems? When we are lively and jubilant inside but our eyes contradict with our state of mind, it is a problem. The bigger problem is that many of us do not know what exactly is the underlying problem with these tired, droopy and sleepy effects that the under eye rings give us. There could be one of the below conditions:
Dark Eye Circles
Dark eye circle is a commonly heard problem of eyes. People refer this darker skin that surrounds the eye as dark eye circles, or commonly as ‘panda eyes’. To understand further, we should know that skin below our eyes is thinner than the rest. It is not well endowed with oil glands like the skin for rest of our body. As a result, this under-eye skin gets dry and wrinkled with age. The veins there thus appear more prominent and it results in dark circles under our eyes – commonly referred to as ‘panda eyes’. Factors contributing to this include insufficient sleep, excessive rubbing or any allergy or simply inborn thin skin.
Prominent pretarsal muscles
As it speaks, the pretarsalis muscle becomes prominent in a person in such a condition. This is the muscle that is active when one closes his eye. When this muscle is over stretched, i.e. there is more than normal course of activity taking place for this muscle, it becomes bulky and big. This is then seen as a sort of large bulge or an eye-bag under the eye. This makes the eye look unattractive as this also coats a dark shadow on the skin below the eye. This condition can be treated easily with use of Botox. Injecting Botox can reduce the bulk of muscle and improve the lightness under the eye.
Prominent infra-orbital fat pads
Sometimes there is a fat deposit that gets prominent around eye area. The deposit is actually in the layer under the skin. This causes an unsightly bulge under the eye giving a droopy look to the eyes. A short surgery can aid in removing such eye. The surgery does not leave you with any noticeable scar.
Sagging skin below the eye
It is difficult to escape the effects on our skin and body that come with age. One such effect is that with those passing our skin becomes lax leading to saggy skin. This may occur anywhere on our face or body. Especially the area around the eyes is a target. This condition around the eye area can cause multiple lines or wrinkles, something that is also commonly called crow’s feet. To tighten this skin, there are various techniques. More suitable are lasers and creams that can give the needed tightening effect of the skin.
The Solution
It is very important to correctly diagnose the condition and its cause first in order to successfully treat the dark eye rings. No cream or treatment would be beneficial if it is not attacking the underlying cause affecting the skin and effect under the eye.
