CO2 Fractional Laser technology offers high treatment effectiveness, long-lasting results with a quick recovery time, about 2 – 4 weeks after implementation. This method is suitable for dark circles caused by skin pigmentation.
3.2. Q-Switched Laser
Q-Switched Laser emits high-intensity light pulses that penetrate the epidermis to break down melanin pigments into small pieces. This pigment will be absorbed by the lymphatic system and eliminated from the body.
The special feature of this type of laser is that it emits short light energy pulses, providing high precision without damaging skin tissue. As a result, dark circles are significantly reduced and there are fewer side effects. Q-Switched Laser is suitable for dark circles caused by pigmentation.
3.3. Erbium-Yag Laser
Erbium-Yag Laser is a type of laser with a short wavelength, containing the active ingredient erbium mixed with yttrium aluminium garnet. When it acts on skin tissue, it creates vaporization and photocoagulation. Due to its high absorption coefficient of water with the laser, it allows for shallow penetration, accurately removing pigments and causing minimal damage to the skin.
Therefore, Erbium-Yag Laser provides optimal treatment effectiveness for dark circles, the timequick recovery, less pain and fewer side effects, suitable for dark circles of the pigmentation type.

Erbium-Yag Laser helps improve the condition of dark circles effectively without damaging the skin. 3.4. PicoSure Laser
PicoSure Laser provides energy pulses of light with an ultra-short wavelength (1/1000 trillion seconds), affecting melanin pigment and breaking it down into small particles, which are then naturally expelled from the body.
This method helps improve the condition of dark circles quickly, shortens treatment time, reduces the risk of damaging surrounding skin areas, and does not require much recovery time. Like the methods mentioned above, PicoSure Laser is also suitable for dark circles due to pigmentation.
3.5. Pulsed Dye Lasers
Pulsed Dye Lasers (PDL) use a solution containing organic dye to create a laser effect. When the laser impacts the skin, the heat destroys the blood vessels causing dark circles, helping them fade and significantly improving the skin tone under the eyes.
Pulsed Dye Lasers are often used to treat dark circles of the vascular type; after the procedure, the body will absorb the damaged blood vessels but will not harm the surrounding skin, allowing blood to circulate normally through other blood vessels.
