Dark circles can result from pigmentation, visible vessels, thin under-eye skin, puffiness or structural hollowing. Tear troughs are under-eye grooves that can cast shadows and make darkness look more pronounced.
Because under-eye darkness has several possible causes, treatment begins by identifying the dominant factor.
Before selecting treatment, we assess three key markers:


Address selected superficial pigmentation.
Selected topical care, peels or IPL where appropriate.

Support selected under-eye skin-quality and firmness concerns.
Radiofrequency or PRP / GFC may be considered in selected patients.

Restore selected areas of hollowing that create shadow.
Dermal filler may be considered after careful anatomical assessment.

Step 01
Pigment, vascular show-through, puffiness and volume loss are assessed.

Step 02
Where skin quality is the main concern, a selected skin or energy-based treatment may be considered.

Step 03
For selected structural hollowing, conservative tear-trough filler may be considered.

Radiofrequency
May be considered for selected skin-quality concerns around the under-eye area where the device is suitable.

Dermal Fillers
May be used for selected tear-trough hollowing. Under-eye filler carries uncommon but serious vascular risks including visual complications.

Photofacial
IPL may be considered for selected pigment or vascular concerns after careful skin-type assessment.
Treatment depends on whether pigmentation, vessels, hollowing, puffiness or skin quality is the main contributor.
Dark circles should not be attributed to a single deficiency without assessment. Genetics, pigmentation, anatomy, sleep and vascular factors can all contribute.
No. A tear trough is a structural hollow that can cast a shadow and make darkness more visible.
Age-related volume change, anatomy and changes in the mid-face can make the under-eye groove appear deeper.
Home remedies cannot restore lost anatomical volume. Treatment is optional and depends on the underlying cause..
