Dark Circles & Under-Eye Concerns
“Everyone thinks I look tired or unwell, even after a full night's sleep”
Dark circles and under-eye hollows are rarely from one cause alone. With personalised care, this delicate area can often look fresher and better supported.
Common Signs
Understanding Why
What it is
Dark circles and under-eye concerns include pigment, visible vessels, thin skin and hollows that cast shadows. Often more than one factor combines, making the area look tired even when you feel reasonably well.
Common Triggers
- Genetics and naturally deep-set eye structure
- Thin under-eye skin showing vessels underneath
- Chronic allergies, rubbing or frequent eye strain
- Pigmentation from sun, friction or previous eczema
- Sleep, stress, nutrition and iron deficiencies
How we treat it
We differentiate pigment, vascular and volume issues, then blend skincare, peels, injectables and lifestyle advice to improve appearance while respecting how delicate and expressive the under-eye area is.
Your Journey
We assess pigment, vessels and hollows, check lifestyle and allergies, review previous creams and advise basic skincare plus sun protection and gentle under-eye habits.
Peels, topical lightening and sometimes injectables begin. You may first notice smoother texture, then gradual softening of darkness and shadowing in normal lighting.
We refine doses and technique, balancing improvement with natural expression. Under-eyes usually look less tired overall, even if some depth or colour remains.
Maintenance visits and home routines protect gains. We adjust plans around exams, weddings, travel or health events that temporarily disturb sleep and lifestyle.
Self-Care Tips
Use a pea-sized amount of under-eye product only.
Avoid rubbing eyes; dab gently when removing makeup.
Sleep with head slightly elevated to reduce pooling.
Apply sunscreen carefully around eyes every morning.
Manage allergies and sinus issues with medical guidance.

FAQs
Are dark circles only from lack of sleep?
Sleep is important but not the only reason. Genetics, allergies, pigmentation and hollows often play major roles, which is why creams alone rarely fix everything.
Can creams alone treat under-eye hollows and darkness?
Creams help texture and mild pigment. Deeper hollows, strong vessels or advanced melanin usually need a mix of lifestyle changes, procedures and prescription products planned together.
Will fillers under the eyes look artificial?
When used carefully in suitable candidates, they can gently soften hollows. We avoid over-filling and always prioritise safety, proportion and your comfort with changes.
Is laser safe for treating under-eye pigmentation?
We sometimes use gentle settings alongside creams, peels and sun protection. Approaches are personalised, especially in darker skin, to minimise risk of rebound pigmentation or light patches.
