Dark Circles Under Eyes: Causes and How to Treat Them

Dark circles under the eyes are one of the most common reasons clients visit our beauty salon just you - beauty by Gabriello. Although they are often cited as a sign of fatigue, the truth is more complex. For professional skincare in Bratislava to be truly effective, we must first identify exactly what causes the dark discoloration in this delicate area. ## How to distinguish types of dark circles Not all dark circles are the same. Diagnosis is the fundamental step that helps you understand whether you need brightening, firming, or improved microcirculation. ### 1. Pigmented circles (brownish) These are caused by excessive melanin production. They often have a genetic basis, but can worsen due to UV radiation exposure. For this type, premium skincare with brightening active ingredients is essential. ### 2. Vascular circles (bluish/purple) These appear when the skin under the eyes is extremely thin and tiny blood vessels show through. They are often related to blood flow or slowed lymphatic drainage. Book an appointment at our salon, where we can diagnose the condition of your skin. ### 3. Shadow circles (structural) These arise due to volume loss or sagging tissue, which creates a real shadow. In this case, creams alone are not enough; professional lifting techniques are required. ## Professional solutions in our salon In our beauty salon just you, we take a comprehensive approach to the eye area. We offer specialized treatments that target this exact zone: * Customized treatment: A combination of massage and device-assisted therapy to improve lymphatic drainage. * Mesotherapy: Deep infusion of substances that support skin firmness. * Peptide treatment: To smooth fine lines around the eyes. | Type of circles | Main cause | Recommended solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Pigmented | Melanin / UV | Brightening care | | Vascular | Thin skin / Lymph | Lymphatic drainage and active serums | | Shadow | Volume loss | Anti-age lifting and firming | Check out our expert articles for more information on how to care for your skin in September, when the skin needs intensive post-summer regeneration. ## Home care: Hero product for eyes Maintaining salon results requires high-quality home care. Our absolute winner is the Opti-Firm® Eye Contour Cream. This product is designed to specifically firm the skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles. > "The skin around the eyes is up to four times thinner than on the rest of the face. Therefore, it requires specific products that do not weigh it down, but intensely nourish and protect the lipid barrier," says our expert team at our beauty salon in Bratislava. How to use Opti-Firm® cream: 1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle gel. 2. Apply a pea-sized amount of cream to your ring finger. 3. Gently tap into the orbital bone area (not directly under the lashes). 4. Use morning and evening for best results. If you are looking for an ideal gift for a woman, an eye contour cream combined with a gift voucher for a treatment is always a great choice. ## Conclusion: How to start?
