Quick answer · What is Dark Circle Treatment?
Non-surgical dark circle treatment improves under-eye darkness by treating its cause. Pigment-type circles are lightened with gentle laser toning, thin skin that shows blood vessels is strengthened with polynucleotide boosters such as Rejuran i, and shadows from hollow tear troughs are softened with hyaluronic acid filler. A session typically takes 20–40 minutes, with mild swelling or bruising for a few days after injections. Results usually build over a few weeks.

- Results
- Immediate to 4–8 weeks
- Course

How it works
Three causes, three different treatments
Brown circles come from pigment and respond to toning lasers. Bluish or purple circles usually reflect thin skin over blood vessels, which polynucleotide or collagen boosters help thicken. Shadow-type circles come from a hollow tear trough, where a small amount of soft filler reduces the shadow.
-
Cause diagnosis
Your doctor examines the under-eye area in different lighting to see whether pigment, thin skin or hollowness is the main cause.
-
Targeted treatment
After numbing, a booster or filler is placed carefully with a fine needle or cannula, or a toning laser is applied.
-
Follow-up
Filler softens shadows straight away, while boosters and lasers improve tone and thickness gradually over a few weeks.
