What Does The Colour of The Circles Under Your Eyes Discover?

The circles under your eyes are the first sign sent by our organism when some health change is going on. Anemic people have dark circles under their eyes, people with kidney problems have swollen circles and people who drink a lot of alcohol – purple.

Some of the doctors think that they are not only an esthetic but also a health problem and should be removed if they represent a problem for the patient or they damage his/her eyesight.

Dark circles under and around the eyes, irritated, red, swollen eyelids, touch sensitive or the skin is so attenuated that even with the most precious care, they can’t look even a bit desirable. This has become a very common problem and is equally present with men and women, but it worries women more, so on their faces, this esthetic and health difficulty is less visible.

Heritage or a sign of warning?

The dark circles under our eyes, besides being considered as the first serious sign of aging, are often the first sign sent by our organism and show us that there is a problem or imbalance. The colour of the circles can be the first indicator of a serious disease. Precisely because of that, you should pay attention to them and differ them by shape, colour, thickening.

Some of the diseases related to dark circles under your eyes are: kidney problems, serious anemia, stress consequences, cardiovascular diseases, smoking problems, passive smoking, excessive sun exposition.

Some people have a genetic tendency so they have inherited the ability to have dark circles under the eyes from their parents or grandparents. Maybe that’s not familiar enough, but the choice of food and the way you eat play a great role in the creation of these circles which can stay for a long time after you have settled this problem. Let’s make a difference and divide the circles according to the causes of appearance so you can easily recognize some of the symptoms, if you’re among the people tortured by this problem.

Dark or Swollen?

Swollen circles are often an indicator of water residue and the creation of a fat tissue around the eyes and if they’re dark, there is an increased blood breach out of the blood vessel into the tissue, where it degrades. We differ the circles according to their pigmentation (the intensity of skin darkening), the intensity of the dark colour, swelling and here are also the circles whose cause is the cheek lowering because of the loss of a subcutaneous fat tissue or a combination of all these factors. If the dark circles under your eyes are there for a long time, for example, for several months and they turn out to be hanging dark circles, it is the ultimate moment for you to check your blood.

Namely, anemia is one of the most common causes for dark circles under your eyes, especially if they are followed by headaches, fatigue, bad concentration, studying problems with children, weaker memory. Anemia doesn’t necessary mean that you are deadly ill, but that the iron in your blood lacks oxygen and iron is its main ”carrier” through the blood system to all organs.

Check your kidneys and liver

Because of everything the skin of that place becomes hyperpigmented and as it is in the natural hollow under the eye, it looks like a dark aureole. That kind of circles point to kidney problems and retention of excessive fluids in the organism. If you consume too much alcohol, the circles are bulging and swollen. Although they don’t have a lot of connections with the dark circles, around the eyes, there can often be seen some yellow-brown bulges, like small pustules. They are called xanthelasmas and are a consequence of increased cholesterol and hormonal imbalance in the organism. They can also point to some serious damages in the work of the liver and the thyroid gland. People who are allergic to pollen also have problems with dark circles.

Namely, they often have neurodermatitis because of which they often wipe and rub their eyes because of the itch and it contributes to the development of pigmentation and irritation of the gentle eyelid skin. They should be treated with mild creams and touch them with fingers or tissues as less as possible.

The first step in the fight against dark circles is to bring your organism into balance, have enough sleep, avoid smoking, even passive, have a regular nutrition without nitrates and additional salts, spicy and hot food, moderate quantities of alcohol.

No age limit for the procedure

“Circles are not only an esthetic but also a health problem and should be removed if they represent a problem for the patient or damage his/her eyesight. Eyelid correction has no rules when we speak about dark circles and the choice criteria is only for the patient, no matter their age. Blepharoplasty removes the excess skin and fat tissue in a way that they enter the eyelid and remove three fatty pillows under the muscles so the removed excess skin is tightened towards the outer part. A surgery is recommended with advanced circles under the eyes with a great excess of skin and a great burst of fat tissue out of the eye cavity. Dark circles without bags are not a good indicator for a surgery and they are treated differently.

With younger persons, up to 40 years old, who have problems with bags, the surgery is usually performed through the eye conjunctive without a visible cut on the outside, so the fat pillows become smaller. All of the surgeries are made with a local anesthesia so that the eye tone could be kept and are harmless. Badly made surgeries for the removal of fatty layers, when the eyelid is very “opened” so ektropion appears because the lower part of the sclera becomes too visible is an often encountered problem and it’s difficult to correct it because too much skin has been cut”, explained d-r Kinčl, a plastic surgery specialist.
