Pigment spots
Pigmentation Spots: Understanding Them Better
Many people are concerned about skin spots, which can appear for various reasons, from natural aging to environmental factors like sun exposure. This article explores the causes of skin spots and the best methods to prevent and effectively treat them.
Understanding skin spots
Types of stains
Skin spots come in many shapes and colours and can appear anywhere on the body. Some are congenital and present from birth, while others develop over time due to various factors.
Main causes
Most spots are due to hyperpigmentation. This phenomenon occurs when melanocytes produce excessive amounts of melanin, the brown pigment that colours the skin. This excessive production accumulates in some localized regions, creating darker spots than the surrounding skin.
Skin spot aggravating factors
Sun exposure
Prolonged and repeated exposure to the sun is one of the leading causes of dark spots. Ultraviolet (UV) rays stimulate melanin production, which can lead to uneven accumulation in certain areas.
Aging and lifestyle
As we age, our skin becomes more susceptible to blemishes. In addition, confident lifestyle choices such as smoking, alcohol consumption, coffee and spicy foods can aggravate certain skin conditions.
Protecting Your Skin Against Spots
Sun protection
Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is essential by using a quality sunscreen. Concentrate on the most exposed areas where spots commonly appear: the face, hands, décolleté, shoulders and arms. Here are a few tips:
- Plan outdoor activities when the sun is less intense.
- Wear hats and long clothing during sun exposure.
- Avoid tanning booths.
- Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Healthy lifestyle habits
Adopting a healthy lifestyle can help prevent the appearance of spots.
Limit tobacco, alcohol and coffee consumption, and avoid spicy foods.
Treatments for skin spots
Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation eliminates fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, freckles, rosacea, and redness.
Chemical peels
Peels can smooth wrinkles, fade acne scars, and reduce couperose (diffuse redness) and pigmentation spots. They regenerate your skin by making it peel slightly, thus promoting its renewal through exfoliation. Although the treatment remains superficial, a brightening effect is observed after several sessions.
Vitamin therapy
An intensive boost of vitamin C to brighten the complexion, treat pigmentation spots and improve skin texture. Vitamin therapy removes uneven skin tones, protects cells from oxidation and smoothes skin.
Use of suitable products
Choose non-photosensitizing products or medications that do not make your skin more sensitive to UV rays. Here’s an ideal routine to reduce and protect your skin from future pigmentation spots:
- Gentle Cleansers
For example:
- Vivier’s Hexam: A gentle cleansing gel that removes dirt and excess oil and dissolves makeup.
- Vivier’s Refreshing Toner: This alcohol—and oil-free formula is enriched with witch hazel extract, orange flower extract, citric acid, vitamin C, and glycerin to provide light hydration, soothe sensitivity, and improve the complexion.
- Creams/Serums with Brightening Ingredients
For example: HYDROQUINONE-FREE.
- Vivier radiance serum.
A versatile antioxidant serum designed to target slightly to moderately uneven skin tone while reducing signs of aging.
Vivier Skin Lightening Cream.
An effective brightening cream for light pigmentation, uneven skin tone and sun damage.
- Retinol 0.3% – 0.5% – 1% de Vivier.
Specially formulated with powerful complementary ingredients: vitamins C and E, to maximize results, and squalane, to boost hydration and reduce irritation and pigmentation.
WITH HYDROQUINONE.
- Advanced brightening serum.
Formulated with 2% hydroquinone USP to visibly reduce dark spots, including those caused by age and UV exposure, and 10% vitamin C to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Corrector 2.
An effective lightening cream for moderate to severe brown spots, age spots, sun spots and uneven skin tone.
- Sun protection
For example:
- SHEER SPF 45 by Vivier. A silky-matte sunscreen with SPF 45 for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with a mattifying effect.
SHEER SPF 30 mineral. A 100% mineral sunscreen with SPF 30 providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection for a fresh, radiant complexion.
Skin Laxity
Understanding Skin Laxity: Causes and Solutions
Skin laxity, or the loss of skin elasticity, is a common phenomenon with aging, but certain factors can accelerate this process. Poor lifestyle choices, weight fluctuations, and prolonged sun exposure can all contribute to this condition. This article explores the leading causes of skin laxity and offers solutions.
Main causes of skin laxity
Diet and lifestyle habits
Dietary choices and lifestyle habits play a crucial role in the health of our skin. For example, a diet rich in sugars can reduce skin elasticity, while smoking and alcohol consumption can accelerate skin aging.
- Poor dietary choices (high-sugar foods, overcooked foods)
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Chronic stress
- Lack of physical exercise
Weight fluctuations
Rapid weight changes, such as those seen during dieting or after pregnancy, can stretch and then rapidly loosen the skin’s elastic fibers, resulting in a loss of firmness.
Hormonal changes
Hormones play a significant role in the tissue structure of our skin. Adequate levels of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone are necessary to maintain optimal tissue function.
Sun exposure
Prolonged exposure to UV radiation without adequate protection can intensify melanin production, reduce collagen and elastin production, and promote skin dryness. These structural changes make skin visibly less firm over time.
Adopt healthy lifestyle habits for firmer skin
Balanced diet
To promote collagen production, eat foods rich in vitamins A and C, silicon, amino acids, magnesium and antioxidants.
It is also advisable to avoid overcooked foods, as this reduces their nutritional content.
- Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A and C
- Foods rich in silicon, like whole grains
- Lean proteins for their essential amino acids
- Nuts and seeds for their magnesium content
- Green tea and berries for their antioxidant properties
Technological Solutions for Improving Skin Firmness
Potenza – Microneedling
Microneedling, or micro-perforation, is a dermatological procedure using tiny needles to create micro-perforations with radiofrequency (RF) energy to penetrate the top layer of skin, triggering the natural healing process and regenerating collagen and elastin.
Exilis Ultra™
Exilis Ultra™ is a non-invasive technology that uses ultra-high-performance monopolar radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improving the texture and firmness of the skin on the face and body. Areas commonly treated include the eye and mouth contour, facial oval, neck, décolleté, hands, arms, legs, knees, ankles, buttocks and stomach.
Sculptra
Sculptra facial treatment uses a fine needle to inject a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)- based filler into targeted areas. Sculptra, a substance of natural origin, stimulates the progressive, natural production of collagen. Biocompatible and biodegradable, it is well tolerated by the body and eliminated naturally. This treatment helps restore skin firmness, elasticity, and volume.

Facial Redness and Rosacea
All About Facial Redness and Rosacea
Facial redness is a common issue that can affect appearance and self-esteem. These redness spots are often accompanied by visible small blood vessels, which can be temporary or permanent. The primary cause is generally linked to an abnormality in the facial venous system. This article delves into the causes of facial redness and the solutions to address them.
Erythematous Redness and Couperose
Erythematous redness is characterized by redness on the face, often accompanied by couperose, which refers to small dilated blood vessels under the skin. This type of redness can appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly.
- Erythrosis: Permanent skin redness.
- Couperose: Visible small blood vessels.
Papulopustular Form
The papulopustular form is characterized by redness associated with acne-like pimples. Contrary to popular belief, these symptoms are not related to alcohol consumption.
Aggravating factors
Environmental factors
Climatic conditions play an important role in aggravating facial redness. For example:
- Sun exposure
- Temperature fluctuations between hot and cold
- Extreme weather like wind and cold
Diet and lifestyle
Certain everyday elements can also contribute to the formation of facial redness:
- Consumption of spicy foods.
- Hot drinks such as coffee and tea.
- Alcohol consumption.
Differentiating Types of Redness
Couperose vs. Rosacea
It is crucial to distinguish between couperose and rosacea for effective treatment. Although both present similar symptoms, there are notable differences.
Couperose
This is primarily a cosmetic condition caused by the dilation of small blood vessels on the face. It is generally not linked to a severe underlying pathology.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a more complex dermatological condition that mainly affects the face. It can include redness, papules, and sometimes ocular inflammation.
Diagnosing and Treating Facial Redness
Prevention and Daily Care
Limiting trigger factors
Proper daily care and limiting trigger factors can significantly help in controlling redness
- Avoid sudden temperature changes.
- Use adequate sun protection.
- Reduce consumption of hot and spicy drinks.

Acne
Acne: Understanding and Treating This Skin Condition
Acne is a common skin condition that primarily affects teenagers but can also impact adults. It manifests as pimples, blackheads, and cysts, mainly on the face, back, and chest. Acne can significantly affect the quality of life and self-esteem of those affected.
Acne at different ages
Teen acne
Causes
Acne is mainly caused by the hormonal changes associated with puberty in teenagers. Androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands, producing excessive sebum and clogged pores.
Symptoms
Teenagers often develop comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules and, in some cases, nodules and cysts on the face, back and chest.
Adult acne
Causes
In adults, the causes of acne can include hormonal fluctuations, stress, certain medications, and comedogenic cosmetic products. Women can also be affected by hormonal conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Symptoms
Adults can develop lesions similar to those of teenagers, but acne tends to persist longer and be more concentrated on the jaw and chin.
Acne in the Elderly
Causes
In older people, acne is less common but can be caused by hormonal factors, certain medications and underlying health problems. Aging skin can also react differently to treatments.
Symptoms
Symptoms may include papules, pustules and sometimes nodules. Mature skin may be more sensitive and prone to irritation.
Causes of acne
Acne Mechanisms
Acne is the result of several interdependent biological processes. The main mechanisms involved are :
- Excessive sebum production:
- Sebaceous glands produce sebum to lubricate and protect the skin. However, excessive production can lead to follicle blockage.
- Hyperkeratinization:
- refers to an increase in dead skin cell production within the hair follicles. When combined with sebum, these dead cells form plugs that obstruct the pores.
- Bacterial proliferation
- Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) thrives in blocked pores and feeds on sebum. Its proliferation can provoke an inflammatory response from the immune system.
- Inflammation :
- Inflammation is an immune system response to the proliferation of P. acnes and the rupture of follicle walls. This leads to inflammatory lesions such as papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.
Contributing factors
Several factors can contribute to the appearance and aggravation of acne. Here are the main ones:
- Hormonal fluctuations :
- Hormonal changes, including those related to puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and certain medical conditions (like PCOS), can stimulate sebaceous glands and increase sebum production.
- Genetics:
- Acne can have a hereditary component. People with a family history of acne are more likely to develop the condition.
- Diet:
- Although evidence is not definitive, certain carbohydrate-rich foods, dairy products, and high glycemic index foods may exacerbate acne in some individuals. For dietary advice related to acne, visit Diabetes Canada.
- Cosmetics and skincare products
- Comedogenic products (which block pores) can worsen acne. It is essential to use non-comedogenic products suited to your skin type.
- Medications:
- Some medications, such as corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, and certain oral contraceptives, can trigger or worsen acne.
- Stress :
- Stress does not directly cause acne but can worsen symptoms by influencing hormonal levels and disrupting skincare routines. For stress management tips, visit the Canadian Psychological Association.
Environmental factors
Environmental conditions can also play a role in the development and aggravation of acne. Here are a few examples:
- Climate and humidity :
- Hot and humid climates can increase sebum production and promote pore blockage.
- Pollution :
- Exposure to pollution and other environmental irritants can inflame the skin and exacerbate acne symptoms. For more information on environmental impacts on skin health, visit Environment and Climate Change Canada.
- Hygiene and lifestyle habits :
- Poor hygiene, such as not washing the face regularly or using dirty makeup tools, can contribute to pore blockage. Similarly, an unbalanced diet and lack of exercise can impact skin health.
Myths about acne causes
There are many myths about the causes of acne. It’s important to distinguish fact from myth:
- Diet: Contrary to popular belief, greasy foods and chocolate do not directly cause acne. However, a balanced diet can help maintain healthy skin.
- Hygiene: Poor hygiene is not the cause of acne. Excessive cleaning can irritate the skin and worsen symptoms.
- Sun exposure: While sun exposure may temporarily improve acne symptoms, it can also cause long-term damage and worsen acne over time.
Acne severity classification
Acne is classified according to its severity to determine the appropriate treatment. Here are the categories generally used:
- Mild acne :
- Presence of open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) with a few papules and pustules. The condition is usually limited to the face.
- Moderate acne :
- Many comedones, papules, and pustules, with possible nodules. The condition may extend to the back and chest.
- Severe acne :
- Presence of numerous painful nodules and cysts, often associated with significant inflammation. The risk of permanent scarring is high.
Hygiene and lifestyle practices for managing acne
Practices to avoid
Certain practices can aggravate acne. Here’s what to avoid:
- Avoid Picking at Pimples
- Refrain from squeezing, scratching, or manipulating pimples, which can cause inflammation, infections, and scarring.
- Avoid comedogenic products:
- Choose skincare and makeup products labelled “non-comedogenic” to prevent pore blockage.
- Don’t wash your face too much:
- Excessive cleansing can irritate the skin and stimulate sebum production. Limit washing to twice a day.
Lifestyle hygiene
Certain lifestyle habits can help manage acne. Here are a few tips:
- Balanced diet :
- Adopt a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid foods high in sugar and glycemic index that may worsen acne in some individuals.
- Hydration :
- Drink plenty of water daily to maintain good skin hydration.
- Stress management :
- Practice stress management techniques, such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing, to prevent stress-related acne flare-ups.
Specific tips
Certain situations require specific precautions to manage acne:
- Sports activities :
- After exercise, shower promptly to remove sweat and prevent pore blockage. Wear breathable fabrics.
- Sun exposure :
- Use non-comedogenic sunscreen to prevent skin damage. Although the sun may temporarily improve acne, it can cause long-term harm.
- Use of cosmetics:
- Limit heavy cosmetics and opt for light, non-comedogenic products. Regularly clean makeup brushes and applicators.
Importance of consistency
Managing acne requires patience and consistency. It is essential to :
- Follow a regular skincare routine without skipping steps.
- Use prescribed treatments continuously, even if results are not immediately visible.
- Consult regularly to adjust treatment based on progress.

Stretch Marks
All About Stretch Marks
Nearly 80% of women have stretch marks on their skin. Although harmless, these marks are particularly dreaded for their unsightly appearance. Fortunately, solutions exist to fade and prevent the appearance of stretch marks.
Stretch marks are skin streaks forming visible and irregular lines on the epidermis. These marks appear when the skin stretches or shrinks rapidly, causing the elastic fibres in the dermis to break. These supporting fibres, which include collagen and elastin, are produced by fibroblasts located in the middle layer of the skin. They are essential in maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness, ensuring its resistance to stretching. A sudden distension of the skin disrupts its structure and breaks the fibres, leading to cracks on the skin’s surface, which are initially pink or purple before turning a pearly white colour.
Stretch marks appear on different body parts, particularly in areas prone to tension. These marks mainly affect the abdomen, hips, buttocks, inner thighs, and breasts but can also appear on the back, arms, and armpits.
Causes of Stretch Marks Formation: What Are the Causes?
Stretch marks are caused by various factors, either associated or not. The most common causes are:
Hormonal Changes
Hormones are one of the leading causes of stretch marks. Indeed, hormonal imbalances can lead to bodily changes that favour the appearance of streaks on the skin. During pregnancy, the production of hormones such as cortisol and estrogen increases, leading to alterations in the structure and function of fibroblasts. Consequently, the skin loses its elasticity and becomes prone to stretch marks. These marks often appear during pregnancy, usually at the end of the first trimester, and can occur up to three months after childbirth.
In addition to pregnancy, puberty causes hormonal disruptions that can promote the appearance of stretch marks. Rapid growth can subject the skin tissues to tension, causing the fibres to break. Stretch marks on the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, arms, and back are common during adolescence.
Menopause is also a factor in stretch marks. The decrease in hormones essential for the skin’s elasticity, firmness, and weight gain can also cause them.
Weight Variations
The skin is at risk of cracking when it undergoes significant and rapid stretching or shrinking. Sudden weight gain or loss especially favours this phenomenon. Indeed, these changes caused by drastic and repeated diets strain the skin and weaken its elasticity. Athletes who practice bodybuilding can also develop stretch marks following a significant increase in their muscle mass.
Genetic Factors
The risk of stretch marks varies depending on the skin type. Thin skin, characterized by inadequate elastic fibres such as collagen and elastin, tends to be more vulnerable than others. Denser skin, rich in fibres, is generally less prone to developing stretch marks. Also, stretch marks are generally more visible on fair skin than on dark, tanned, or black skin.
Different Types of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are distinguished into two types:
Red Stretch Marks
Red or purple stretch marks are recent and inflamed streaks, which give them this colour. These immature marks are generally caused by rapid stretching or shrinking of the skin and can be painful to the touch.
White Stretch Marks
Over time, stretch marks heal and lighten. These so-called “mature” marks appear as pearly white streaks.
Tips for Preventing Stretch Marks
Prevention remains the best way to maintain the elasticity and suppleness of your skin. To slow down the appearance of stretch marks, it is essential to adopt good daily habits:
Watch Your Weight
A balanced and varied diet is essential to maintain a healthy weight and avoid rapid stretching and shrinking of the skin. Consume foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, which are beneficial for synthesizing elastin and collagen. These nutrients are found in products such as parsley, spinach, carrots, broccoli, and apricots. Vitamin E, vitamin C, and zinc, with their antioxidant properties, protect the skin from oxidative stress. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids also help maintain the skin’s strength and flexibility. Vitamin A contributes to the regulation of keratin to prevent dry skin.
Regular physical activity is also essential for maintaining weight. Walking, yoga, or swimming are recommended to stimulate blood circulation and improve skin elasticity.
Stay Hydrated
Hydration is essential for keeping skin supple and healthy. Drink at least 1.5 litres of water daily to hydrate your skin and prevent stretch marks. Water-rich fruits and vegetables, tea, and infusions are also recommended to meet your water needs.
Adopt a Good Skincare Routine
A beauty routine that meets its needs is critical to supple and healthy skin. Choose the right products to maintain your skin’s elasticity and reduce the risk of stretch marks. The first step is to cleanse the skin using a gentle exfoliant deeply. Apply the product by massaging the areas prone to stretch marks at least once a week. Exfoliation helps to remove dead cells, promoting oxygenation and the renewal of skin cells.
In addition to good internal hydration, it is crucial to hydrate and nourish your skin with products rich in moisturizing agents. Opt for a cream or balm rich in hyaluronic acid, glycerin, shea butter, or aloe vera, known for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. Also, protect your skin from the sun with a high-SPF cream. Lack of sun protection can make stretch marks more visible after sun exposure.
Aesthetic Treatments to Reduce Stretch Marks
Several aesthetic treatments are available to reduce stretch marks, such as:
Anti-Stretch Mark Creams
Anti-stretch mark creams with vitamin A acid effectively treat recent stretch marks. This formula induces slight epidermis irritation and dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, filling the recently formed cracks. This treatment is particularly recommended for adolescents during puberty. However, treatments containing vitamin A acid are contraindicated for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Laser Treatment and Microdermabrasion
Laser is a popular method for treating both immature and mature stretch marks. This technique uses erbium or CO2 lasers to remove a targeted skin area. The thermal effect of the laser then induces increased collagen production in the dermis. This method often requires several sessions of about 30 minutes each. The beneficial effects can be observed after three weeks of treatment. However, the healing process can be intense and requires constant care, such as applying dressings during the healing period to avoid the risk of infection.
Fractional microneedling is a viable alternative. Less invasive than laser treatment, this dermatological procedure combines ultra-fine needles and radiofrequency (RF) energy to create tiny perforations in the skin. This technique stimulates the natural healing process by increasing collagen and elastin production.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to reduce stretch marks. This technique generates heat through the skin to cause skin contraction. It stimulates fibroblasts to produce more elastin and collagen, restoring the skin’s firmness and tone.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels, which exfoliate the skin with acids such as glycolic, phenolic, or trichloroacetic (TCA) acids, may be recommended to reduce stretch marks. This method is commonly applied to correct acne and other minor skin disorders. A more intensive version of this procedure, a deep peel, is recommended for stretch marks.
Cosmetic Surgery for Treating Stretch Marks
Cosmetic surgery can be an option for treating severe or bothersome stretch marks that do not respond to cosmetic treatments.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure for removing excess skin from the lower abdomen. It smoothes the appearance of the belly and makes stretch marks in this area less visible. This procedure is generally preceded by liposuction to remove localized excess fat.
Lifts
Significant stretch marks can be corrected with a lift. A breast lift or reduction is possible for stretch marks on the lower part of the breast or around the areola. This intervention involves removing excess skin and breast tissue. The skin of the breast becomes firmer, and the stretch marks are less visible.
Thigh lifts target stretch marks on the thighs, buttocks, and lower sides. Two methods can be practiced: internal lifting and external lifting. Both techniques involve removing excess skin and fat, which firms the skin and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.

Dark Circles
What is this ?
The eye area is one of the most sensitive areas on the face. Regularly strained (frowning, blinking), it easily reveals signs of fatigue and aging. Puffiness and dark circles under the eyes mark the lower eyelids where the skin is delicate and thin. They are generally sought to be concealed as they weigh down the look and give the impression of a tired appearance with darkened eyes. This affects the overall aesthetics of the face. To conceal, reduce, or remove them, there are natural anti-dark circle solutions that help decongest the eyelids and eye contour. Discover with Mrockland how to combat dark circles on the face.
This term refers to a colored mark that appears on the lower eyelids. The marks are often brown, gray, or blue in color. They are a sign of a disruption in the circulation of lymphatic tissues.
Blue or Purple Dark Circles
They can appear early in childhood or from adolescence onwards and do not really constitute a sign of aging. Blue circles under the eyes are often due to the transparency of the skin on the lower eyelids. The skin around the eyes is 5 times thinner than the rest of the body. Among the network of blood vessels located in this region of the body, there are arteries and veins.
Blue circles are due to the thinness of the skin under the eyes, which allows the bluish character of these different blood vessels to appear. Dark circles are more visible depending on the characteristics of your tissues. The thinner your skin is under your eyes, the more visible the blue circles are. However, a good lifestyle can limit the presence of this type of dark circle.
Brown or Tan Pigmentary Circles
They are caused by melanin spots found under the skin. Brown in color, they also take on brown or yellow hues. The melanin spots responsible for pigmentary circles are produced by melanocytes. Brown circles are therefore due to the thinness of the skin around the lower contour of your eyes. This part of the face quickly reveals the presence of melanin in the epidermis. On the other hand, the area around the eye orbit is also very exposed to UV rays.
It is therefore susceptible to be colored by tanning pigmentation. Pigmentary circles appear more often in patients with darker skin (people of Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, or North African origin). In some patients, hereditary predispositions can also be the cause of brown circles. To prevent the appearance of this type of circle, it is recommended to use sun protection on the face in case of prolonged sun exposure. This will help limit the development of pigmentary circles.
Hollow Circles
Unlike pigmentary and blue circles, these circles are directly related to the effects of aging on the skin of the face. A V-shaped hollow forms with age between certain facial muscles and the eye. Sometimes, the hollow is present in individuals from a young age due to certain hereditary factors. As they age, the muscle and fat loss around the eyes creates a loss of volume and a sliding of fatty tissues from the lower edge of the orbit towards the cheekbones. These fats cause a more or less extended semi-circular groove under the eyes. Hollow circles are treated by filling.
“Under-Eye Bags” or Full Circles
They are caused by tissue relaxation. The eye is engulfed in a fatty bag for protection (periorbital fat). As they age, this fatty mass can either melt or shift due to tissue relaxation. The effect of gravity, however minimal, creates bags under the eyes by promoting the downward movement of fat. Full circles can appear quite early (from the age of 30). However, they should not be confused with swollen bags that are sometimes noticed upon waking.
What are the main causes of under-eye circles ?
The appearance of under-eye circles can be due to several factors. The main element is the aging of tissues. We blink about 15,000 times a day. Over time, it is evident that the skin begins to tire. The tissues under the eyes thin out and lose elasticity and tone. Fine lines form and accentuate the effect caused by blinking.
Genetic predispositions can also be the cause of pigmented or cruel circles. They can sometimes be found in members of the same family.
The causes vary mainly according to the type of circle. Those with black colors are linked to thin blood circulation. They should not be confused with darker circles caused by excessive melanin production. This type of circle, also hereditary, is more common in people of Mediterranean descent.
Bags under the eyes can be exacerbated by poor lifestyle choices. Lack of sleep, excessive consumption of tobacco and alcohol could be the cause of water retention that creates bags under the lower eyelid.
Furthermore, in women, hormonal changes are also responsible for the appearance of circles under the eyes. The female hormonal system is constantly changing. Pregnancy, menopause, and menstruation, these different phases can affect blood circulation, and thus on circles. Lack of sleep is also cited as a cause of appearance. Anxiety, stress, which sometimes cause a buildup of lymph under the eyelids, can also be mentioned. Apart from these factors, aggressive makeup, and non-natural cosmetics can negatively affect the skin and its cycle. They cause irritations and redness.
What treatments are there for under-eye circles ?
To effectively treat under-eye circles, several solutions can be considered. Depending on the patient’s needs, the doctor may decide to perform surgery or opt for filler injections.
Non-surgical treatments (non-invasive)
If you prefer to avoid surgical procedures, there are highly effective non-invasive treatments to eliminate under-eye circles and improve aesthetics around the eyes.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection
This is one of the most favored methods by professionals and patients. This technique allows for restoring volume to the circles and brightness to the eyes. The results obtained last between 12 and 18 months.
For hyaluronic acid injection, the doctor uses a cannula or a needle. Although more precise, the needle presents more risk of edema and bruising. The procedure only takes a few minutes and does not require hospitalization. Hyaluronic acid not only fills hollow circles, but also moisturizes the dermis profoundly and reduces the presence of colored circles and the transparency of the skin.
Before injection, the surgeon first assesses whether the filling product will truly remove the circles and give a less tired look to the eyes. Filling circles is most often done in the office. Hyaluronic acid injections can last between 15 and 30 minutes. It will depend mainly on the complexity of the circle.
Exosomes
These are nano-vesicles produced by cells. They offer a natural solution to fight against skin irregularities such as circles or bags under the eyes. Involved in intracellular communication, exosomes contain various molecules such as nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, etc. Their role is mainly to send messages of cell regeneration from cell to cell. They provide the necessary information for collagen stimulation by fibroblasts.
Due to their strong inflammatory potential, they also slow down cell destruction and improve the overall quality of the skin. Exosomes promote blood circulation and offer a uniform coloration of the area under the eyes. For a treatment based on exosomes, the specialist uses micro-needles for injections directly into the epidermis. Exosomes act deeply to not only regenerate the skin but also revitalize it. They can be administered as serums, topical products, or skin injections.
Surgical Treatments (Invasive)
The two main ones used for circles are blepharoplasty and lipofilling of the circles.
Blepharoplasty
Performing lower blepharoplasty is one of the most effective surgical interventions for permanently rejuvenating the look. It aims to definitively correct the presence of fatty bags and hollow circles under the eyes. The intervention is indicated for drooping eyelids, wrinkles, and circles hollowed out by the aging of tissues. The operation aims to remove excess fat and tighten the skin tissues to give your face a younger, more symmetrical, and brighter look. The intervention varies according to the patient’s needs. Generally, blepharoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. It is not painful, but it can still cause discomfort for the patient. However, this is transient and relatively mild. The surgeon can complete the operation with lipofilling of the circles.
Blepharoplasty is not a painful surgical intervention. Patients are allowed to return home just a few hours after the operation. Once home, you must monitor the incision points, apply antibiotic ointment, and make an appointment to remove the sutures. The incisions made by the surgeon during the operation may cause swelling and bruising under the eyes. However, the discomfort only lasts briefly and is quickly alleviated by the antibiotic ointment.
Lipofilling of the Circles
Developed in the 1990s, lipofilling combines the benefits of liposuction and re-injection of fats into areas such as the eye contour that sometimes lack volume. It involves an autologous fat transfer. Extracted from the back of the knees or abdomen, the fat is cleaned and injected into the eyelids to tighten the skin and fill in the hollows.
Surgeons also use the nanolipofilling technique, which involves isolating the stem cells contained in the fat. These will then be injected into the eyelids to stimulate collagen production and vascularization. The intervention, therefore, consists of performing a liposculpture by restoring facial volumes. Lipofilling of the eyelids and eye contour allows for filling in the hollows and loss of volume in the lower and upper eyelids.
The presence of circles on the face can be a source of discomfort and lack of self-esteem. Circles can have different causes. To correct this problem, there are several surgical and non-surgical treatments depending on the patient’s needs. The MRocland dermo-aesthetic clinic specializes in filler injections to give your eye contour a more aesthetic appearance.
With us, you can regain your youthful look while remaining natural. A specialist clinic in the treatment of circles using injectable products, you can request one of our experienced doctors for filler administration with confidence. We only use recognized dermal filler agents. Injectable products are painless with immediate visible results. Do not hesitate to seek our expertise to eliminate circles around the eye contour.
FAQ
What is the origin of circles ?
Pigmentary circles result from an overproduction of pigments, while bags result from water and fat accumulation. Eye circles can have hereditary origins or result from a healthy lifestyle, including lack of sleep, stress, alcohol and tobacco consumption, or inadequate diet.
What is the most effective treatment for circles ?
Hyaluronic acid injection and blepharoplasty are the most effective treatments for correcting circles. Laser treatment is also used for colored circles, as it targets the origin of skin pigmentation at tyelid level. Depending on the severity of the circles, several sessions may be necessary, and sometimes, laser treatment may be supplemented by a peel for optimal results.
How to make circles disappear permanently ?
Blepharoplasty allows for permanent correction of the presence of fatty bags and hollow circles under the eyes. It is indicated to correct drooping eyelids, wrinkles, and hollow circles caused by aging tissues.
Do ice cubes remove circles ?
As one might expect, this approach is widely used, as cold promotes blood circulation, thus decongesting circles. Simply place ice cubes in a washcloth or compress, then apply them to the eyes for about fifteen minutes. Although the results are optimal, they remain short-lived.
