Dark Circle Treatment

Dark circles, also known as periorbital dark circles, can result from a variety of external and internal factors, giving your face a tired and dull appearance. While they may not be permanent, they can be reduced with proactive treatments. Dark circles can make you look tired even when you’re not, impacting both your personal and professional image. They can also add years to your appearance. Dark circles typically affect adults and are rare in children. They develop as the skin thins and loses collagen with age. Factors such as fatigue, stress, lifestyle choices, and genetics can contribute to their formation.

  • Fillers: Fillers are a viable option for addressing sunken under-eye areas and improving the appearance of dark circles. In some cases, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or hyaluronic acid gel injections can be used individually or in combination.
