Dark circles are a common cosmetic concern that can make the eyes look tired, aged, and dull, often caused by genetics, lack of sleep, stress, or pigmentation. At Urban Skin and Hair Clinic, our advanced dark circles treatments are designed to target the root causes, reduce pigmentation, improve skin texture, and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance. Using a combination of dermal fillers, PRP therapy, laser treatments, and customised skincare solutions, we help lighten under-eye shadows, improve skin elasticity, and rejuvenate the delicate eye area. With expert dermatologists and personalised care plans, we ensure brighter, healthier, and more youthful-looking eyes.
What is Dark Circles?
Dark circles are the discoloration or shadows that appear under the eyes, giving a tired, aged, or dull appearance. They can result from factors such as genetics, lack of sleep, stress, thinning skin, pigmentation, allergies, or lifestyle habits. While usually not harmful, dark circles can affect confidence and overall facial aesthetics. Professional treatments can help reduce pigmentation, improve skin thickness, and restore a brighter, more youthful under-eye appearance.
What Are the Types of Dark Circles?
Pigmented Dark Circles: Caused by excess melanin in the under-eye area, appearing as brown or black discoloration. Often linked to genetics, sun exposure, or hormonal changes.
Vascular Dark Circles:Â Result from poor blood circulation or visible blood vessels under thin skin, giving a bluish or purplish hue. Commonly worsened by fatigue or stress.
Structural / Shadow Dark Circles:Â Caused by natural hollows, under-eye bags, or loss of fat and collagen, creating shadows that make the eyes look darker even without pigmentation.
Allergic / Inflammatory Dark Circles:Â Develop due to allergies, sinus congestion, or inflammation, often accompanied by puffiness and irritation around the eyes.
Mixed-Type Dark Circles:Â A combination of pigmentation, vascular issues, and structural shadows, making them more persistent and harder to treat.
Lifestyle-Related Dark Circles:Â Triggered by lack of sleep, stress, smoking, dehydration, or excessive screen time, causing temporary or chronic darkening under the eyes.
What Causes Dark Circles?
Dark circles are caused by genetics, lack of sleep, stress, and aging, which lead to thinning skin and visible blood vessels under the eyes. Dehydration, excessive screen time, sun exposure, and poor diet can worsen discoloration. Pigment buildup and reduced collagen also contribute to a tired, hollow appearance. Proper sleep, hydration, and dermatologist-recommended treatments help reduce and prevent dark circles effectively.
Dark circles can be caused by various factors, both internal and external:
- Genetics: Dark circles can run in families and are often more noticeable in individuals with fair skin or thin skin under the eyes.
- Aging: As we age, the skin loses collagen and becomes thinner, allowing underlying blood vessels to show through and cause the dark shadowing.
- Lack of Sleep: Inadequate sleep can cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to dark circles.
- Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation and swelling in the under-eye area, leading to dark circles.
- Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can cause the skin to look dull and tired, enhancing the appearance of dark circles.
- Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure increases melanin production, which can cause hyperpigmentation under the eyes.
- Poor Diet: A lack of essential vitamins and minerals, particularly iron and vitamin K, can contribute to dark circles.
- Stress: Chronic stress can affect the skin and blood vessels, leading to dark circles and puffiness.
- Lifestyle Factors: Excessive screen time, smoking, and alcohol consumption can contribute to the development of dark circles by dehydrating the skin and causing blood vessels to become more noticeable.

FAQ for Dark Circle Treatment
While dark circles may not be completely eliminated, our treatments can significantly reduce their appearance and improve the under-eye area, making it look brighter and more rejuvenated.
Most patients notice improvement after 2-4 sessions, but the number of treatments required will depend on the severity of your dark circles and the type of treatment used.
Our treatments are non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. Some treatments, like microneedling and PRP, may cause slight discomfort, but numbing creams are used to minimize pain.
Side effects are minimal, though some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising, especially after injections or microneedling. These effects usually resolve within a few days.
Most treatments have minimal downtime. You can usually return to your regular activities immediately after your session, though it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
