About under-eye circles

Under-eye circles can have a pigmentary origin (excess melanin in the area, usually genetic) or a structural one (volume/fat loss that creates a shadow in the area) — the cause directly influences which approach works best.

Recommended treatments

Frequently asked questions

Do genetic under-eye circles have treatment?

Yes, but the type of protocol (lightening or filler, for example) depends on whether the circles are predominantly pigmentary or structural — hence the importance of an assessment before indicating any procedure.

Does sleeping well fix genetic under-eye circles?

It helps prevent them from getting worse, but it doesn't resolve under-eye circles of genetic or structural origin, which require assessment and a specific protocol.
