Dark Circles Under Eyes

Dark circles under the eyes are very commonly the result of lack of adequate sleep, stress, or even genetics.

Dark Circles Under the Eyes

At Nova Plastic Surgery, we can help you combat dark circles in a number of ways.

Dark circles can make you appear tired or sick, which can make you feel limited in both your personal and professional life. Having dark circles under the eyes sometimes even results in uncomfortable dialogue such as, “Are you feeling okay?” or “You look tired!”

If you are tired, then that would explain it. But when you feel fine and have slept well, for example, then it can make you feel very uncomfortable.

Many people also feel as if their dark circles make them look older than they are, which is another common reason they seek treatment.

Treatments for Dark Circles Under the Eyes

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections are a natural and innovative treatment for dark circles under the eyes. PRF is derived from your own blood and contains a high concentration of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells that promote healing and tissue regeneration.

When injected under the eyes, PRF stimulates collagen production and blood flow, improving skin texture and reducing hyperpigmentation. This process diminishes the appearance of dark circles and also addresses fine lines and under-eye hallows, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Since PRF is from your own body, the risk of an adverse reaction is minimal, making it a safe and effective treatment option for dark circles under the eyes.

Fillers

Dermal fillers, such as Restylane® can plump the under-eye area, remedying the thin skin and fat loss that often causes under-eye circles.

The greatest advantage to fillers is that they’re non-invasive, which means there is no time away from work or extensive recovery required. Patients can drive themselves to and from a filler appointment and return to work the same day if they choose.

NanoLaserPeel™

The NanoLaserPeel™ procedure can effectively remove damaged skin below the eyes to smooth the skin and address darkness or over pigmentation. NanoLaserPeel™, when used for under-eye circles, is often paired with other treatments for maximum efficacy.

BroadBand Light Therapy with Eye Cream

BroadBand Light therapy, or BBL, applies energy to the skin to stimulate collagen production in the treated area. BBL with eye cream can smooth the bags or sunken areas below the eyes and lighten the darkened skin to smooth the complexion and create a more youthful look.

Following your procedure, you can take some simple steps to prevent dark circles from reappearing. Ask the Medspa staff about an effective under-eye skin care regimen that you can complete daily at home. It is also beneficial to get plenty of rest and drink enough water daily.
