1. Causes of Dark Circles

1. Genetic constitution: The patient's orbicularis oculi muscle is congenitally thicker or the pigment of the eyelids is congenitally darker and more abundant than the skin pigmentation of the adjacent parts, so the eyes appear dark gray.

2. Penetration of cosmetic pigments: Frequent use of cosmetics may cause dark pigment particles to penetrate into the eyelids. Over time, dark circles will form.

3. Excessive fatigue: When you are overly tired and lack of rest, the autonomic nervous system will be disordered and the blood circulation in the blood vessels will be poor, causing venous blood congestion in the orbicularis oculi muscle and eyelid skin. Since venous blood is darker in color, dark gray circles appear on the eyelids.

4. Varicose veins: Varicose veins or varicose veins in the eye sockets or eyelids and long-term eyelid edema can also cause venous blood congestion.

5. Trauma: Contusion of the eye socket or eyelid can cause subcutaneous bleeding, resulting in the appearance of dark circles.
