Why Do Dark Circles Develop Under the Eyes?
Dark circles are a common cosmetic concern that can result from various factors, including genetics, aging, lifestyle, and health conditions. They are typically characterized by a darkened appearance under the eyes, which can be accompanied by puffiness or eye bags.

Causes of Dark Circles
Several factors can contribute to the development of dark circles, including:
Genetics
Inherited traits can make dark circles more pronounced.
Aging
As skin ages, it becomes thinner and loses collagen, making blood vessels more visible.
Lack of Sleep
Insufficient sleep can cause the skin to appear paler, highlighting dark circles.
Allergies
Allergic reactions can cause inflammation and swelling, leading to dark circles.
Dehydration
Lack of adequate hydration can make the skin under the eyes appear dull and sunken.
Sun Exposure
Overexposure to the sun can increase melanin production, darkening the skin under the eyes.
Advanced Dark Circle Treatment Options
At AestheticEye, we offer a range of non-surgical treatments designed to reduce dark circles and improve the appearance of the under-eye area. Our treatments are tailored to address the underlying causes of dark circles, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Non-Surgical Eye Bags Treatment
One of the most common concerns associated with dark circles is the presence of eye bags or puffiness under the eyes. Our advanced treatments can effectively target these issues to restore a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Dermal Fillers for Volume Restoration
Dermal fillers are a popular treatment for dark circles caused by volume loss. By injecting hyaluronic acid-based fillers into the under-eye area, we can restore lost volume, smooth out hollows, and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Quick and Minimally Invasive
The procedure takes about 30 minutes and requires no downtime.
Immediate Results
Patients typically see an improvement right after the treatment.
Long-Lasting Effects
Results can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy involves using your body’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the under-eye area. This treatment can improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and promote overall skin health.
Natural and Safe
Uses your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Gradual Improvement
Results develop over several weeks as collagen production increases.
Minimal Downtime
Some redness and swelling may occur, but these typically subside within a few days.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy can be used to target pigmentation and improve skin texture around the eyes. This non-invasive treatment helps to break down excess melanin, reduce dark circles, and stimulate collagen production.
Precision Treatment
Targets specific areas without damaging surrounding tissue.
Multiple Benefits
Reduces pigmentation, improves skin texture, and promotes collagen production.
Short Recovery Time
Minimal downtime, with most patients resuming normal activities quickly.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can be used to exfoliate the skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles. By removing the top layers of damaged skin, chemical peels reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath.
Customized Treatments
Peels can be tailored to your skin type and concerns.
Effective Results
Improve skin texture, tone, and reduce pigmentation.
Minimal Downtime
Light peels require little to no downtime, while deeper peels may require a few days of recovery.
Topical Treatments
Topical treatments, including prescription creams and serums, can help to lighten dark circles and improve the overall appearance of the under-eye area. These treatments often contain ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid.
Daily Use
Incorporate into your regular skincare routine for ongoing benefits.
Complementary Care
Enhance the results of other treatments and maintain improvements.
Non-Invasive
Simple and easy to use with no downtime.
