How to treat dark circles under the eyes

Currently, there are quite a few methods to remove dark circles under the eyes. Among them, there is a simple home remedy for dark circles, but there are also in-depth therapies that need to be applied at reputable beauty establishments.

Depending on the condition and the cause of dark circles, women can choose an appropriate remedy.

Treatment for pigment-type dark circles

There are many causes of pigmentation, causing the skin under the eyes to become discolored (usually brown), the most common being excessive exposure to sunlight.

Pigmented dark circles (Pigmented - P)
Dark circles under the eyes due to pigment accumulation make the face look dull.

To remedy this situation, women can refer to the following 3 methods:

  • Using skin-lightening eye creams: Products containing active ingredients like Tretinoin, Hydroquinone, Kojic acid, etc., help treat pigmentation and whiten the skin around the eyes. These products are very easy to find at affordable prices; however, it is necessary to choose products with clear origins. Additionally, it should be noted that these products may yield slow results, thus requiring women to be patient and use them long-term.
  • Chemical peels: This method involves biological skin renewal using chemical agents that act on the skin around the eyes to help fade dark circles, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin. However, women should not self-peel at home but should visit a specialist for examination and follow the doctor’s instructions to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.
  • Using energy devices: This is a modern cosmetic method that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser technology to break down Melanin pigments, stimulating collagen production to rejuvenate the skin structure around the eyes. These methods are usually treated in courses and performed by skilled doctors. At the same time, women should also know how to take care of their skin at home for better recovery after treatment.

Treatment for vascular-type dark circles

Due to allergies, dermatitis, the habit of rubbing or scratching the eyes causes the blood vessels under the eyes to dilate, even rupture and show through the skin, forming clearly visible dark circles. At this point, women may see dark circles that are pink or slightly purple, without puffiness or swelling around the eyes.

Vascular dark circles (Vascular- V)
Dark circles under the eyes due to damaged blood vessels under the skin.

Currently, there are 2 main ways to reduce dark circles caused by blood vessels:

  • Applying or injecting certain active ingredients: Using vitamin K, extracts from Ginkgo biloba through topical application or injection helps improve blood circulation, reduce the appearance of blood vessels under the skin, and support fading dark circles under the eyes.
  • Modern laser technology IPL, PDL: If dark circles appear due to vascular proliferation and dilation, doctors can use laser beams and high-intensity pulsed light (IPL, PDL), ensuring safety and achieving the desired effectiveness.
Using advanced laser technology helps reduce dark circles under the eyes quickly and effectively.

Treatment for structural-type dark circles

In middle-aged and older clients, the amount of fat under the eyes decreases, creating hollows in the tear trough and eye socket, leading to shadowing and clearly visible dark circles when light shines from above.

For this cause, there are the following treatments for dark circles:

  • HA injection: This method involves injecting Hyaluronic Acid to fill the structure of the skin around the eyes, helping to plump and improve elasticity, supporting the fading of dark circles. Accordingly, each type of HA has a different duration of effectiveness (6-12 months), and women can ask the doctor for more detailed advice.
  • Blepharoplasty: Depending on each case, the doctor will prescribe an appropriate surgical method. Specifically as follows:

(1) Lower eyelid incision through the conjunctiva for cases with dark circles, fat bags but healthy skin and eyelids, showing no signs of aging. This method leaves no external scars, is safe, causes minimal trauma around the eyes, and reduces bruising and swelling, thus recovering faster. However, with this method, the effectiveness of dark circle removal only lasts for a short time.

(2) Lower eyelid incision through the external skin incision for cases where the lower eyelid has excess wrinkled skin, sagging, dark circles accompanied by fat bags. This is the optimal cosmetic method as it can address multiple aging issues around the eyes simultaneously, restoring bright and youthful eyes and maintaining long-lasting results. However, it requires a doctor with knowledge, experience, and skills to achieve the desired results.

The procedure for lower eyelid surgery is as follows:

Step 1: The doctor examines the eye area, assesses the condition of dark circles under the eyes, and advises on an appropriate method.

Step 2: The client is instructed to undergo some tests to check overall health to ensure safety during the surgery.

Step 3: Carefully measure and draw the lower eyelid area to outline the precise surgical line.

Step 4: Disinfect and anesthetize the eye area so that the client does not feel pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Step 5: The doctor performs lower eyelid surgery through the conjunctival incision or through the external skin incision. After that, carefully stitch the wound to ensure no ugly scars are left behind.

Step 6: The client rests on-site or goes home, taking care and returning for follow-up as directed by the doctor.

Possible Complications

Some cases of treating dark circles incorrectly or performing at untrustworthy beauty establishments can lead to concerning complications. Specifically:

Skin irritation due to the use of unverified ointments or creams for dark circles.

Infections, blood loss, visual nerve damage,... due to the doctor not performing the technique correctly.

Unsightly scars around the eyes due to the doctor stitching the wound clumsily.

However, the above complications can be completely controlled and minimized if customers apply the correct method – at a reputable establishment.
