Dark Circles under eyes
Oh ... you look tired
Why do we get these changes?
-
Aging
Book a consultAs we age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and loses fat and collagen, making blood vessels more visible.
Statistics: Dark circles become more common after the age of 30, affecting approximately 60% of adults in their 40s and beyond.
-
Lifestyle
Book a consultLack of sleep, stress, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake can lead to fluid retention and dilated blood vessels, which worsen dark circles.
Statistics: Studies show that sleep deprivation contributes to dark circles in approximately 40-50% of people, with symptoms more pronounced after consistent poor sleep.
-
Dehydration and Poor Diet
Book a consultDehydration causes skin to appear dull and sunken, emphasizing dark circles. Deficiencies in nutrients like iron (anemia) can exacerbate the condition.
Statistics: Anemia is linked to dark circles in up to 30% of individuals with iron deficiency, particularly in women and vegetarians.

Effectiveness: Studies show PRP can reduce dark circles by 50-70% after 3-4 sessions. It improves skin quality and reduces hollowness.
-
Polynucleotides
Book NowPolynucleotides, derived from DNA fragments, are injected to enhance cell repair, improve skin elasticity, and promote hydration. This reduces pigmentation and under-eye hollows.
Effectiveness: Clinical evidence shows significant improvement in skin hydration and elasticity after 2-4 treatments. Results last 6-12 months.
-
Microneedling
Book Now!A microneedling device creates micro-injuries in the skin, boosting collagen production. When paired with serums (e.g., Vitamin C or tranexamic acid), it targets pigmentation and improves texture.
Effectiveness: Studies report 30-50% improvement in pigmentation after 4-6 sessions.
-
Chemical Peels
Book NowPeels containing glycolic acid, lactic acid, or TCA exfoliate the skin, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin texture by stimulating new cell growth.
Effectiveness: Clinical studies show a 20-50% reduction in pigmentation after 3-6 treatments.
