Lower eyelid circles arise from a variety of conditions, including:

  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Hemosiderin deposition
  • Thin skin
  • Subcutaneous veins
  • Loss of subcutaneous and periorbital fat

Chemical peels will reduce the pigmentation and improve the quality of the skin in terms of overall collagen content. It should be used as a combination approach to the management of under eye circles.
