EYE CIRCLES
Dark circles under the eyes are a common cosmetic concern that can make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel. At Coral Aesthetics, we specialise in dark circle treatments across London, Essex, and Kent, offering advanced aesthetic solutions to restore brightness and youthfulness to your under-eye area.
Dark under-eye circles can be caused by multiple factors including ageing, tear trough volume loss, hyperpigmentation, genetics, thin skin, poor circulation, and lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep. Whether you're looking for tear trough filler, skin boosters, or other non-surgical dark circle treatments, we tailor your plan based on the cause of your under-eye concerns.
What Causes Dark Under Eye Circle?
Dark under-eye circles are a common concern that can make you appear tired or aged. They are often caused by a variety of factors including genetics, thinning skin, lack of sleep, dehydration, and lifestyle habits. The delicate skin around the eyes becomes more transparent with age, making blood vessels more visible and creating a shadowy appearance. Allergies, sun exposure, and even the natural ageing process can exacerbate dark circles, leading to more prominent discoloration.
At Coral Aesthetics, we offer targeted treatments to reduce the appearance of dark under-eye circles. Tear trough fillers can restore volume to the hollow areas beneath the eyes, providing a smoother and more refreshed appearance. Additionally, skin boosters and polynucleotides can hydrate and improve skin quality, helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles over time. Our NMC-registered Nurse Prescriber, Coral, will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns. Book a consultation in one of our clinics across London, Essex, and Kent to brighten and rejuvenate your under-eye area.
How Can Dark Under Eye Circles Be Treated?
At Coral Aesthetics we have a variety of treatments to treat dark under eye circles. The treatment that you have may depend on your preference, the cause of your dark under eye circles and your medical history/suitability. A consultation with a medical professional is best to advise you accordingly.
Dark under-eyes (often called dark circles) can be caused by several factors, and effective treatment depends on identifying the root cause. Common causes include:
1. Volume Loss / Hollowing
As we age, fat pads under the eyes shrink and the tear trough becomes more prominent, casting shadows that create the illusion of dark circles.
Treatment:
Tear Trough Filler – A carefully placed hyaluronic acid dermal filler can restore volume and reduce the shadowed appearance.
Polynucleotides – Promote tissue regeneration and improve skin quality over time.
2. Thin Skin / Visible Vessels
The skin under the eyes is delicate and can become thinner with age, making underlying blood vessels more visible.
Treatment:
Skin Boosters or Profhilo – Improve hydration and elasticity.
Microneedling / SkinPen – Encourages collagen production to thicken skin over time.
Medical-grade Skincare (e.g., Obagi Elastiderm Eye Cream) – Strengthens skin and improves texture.
3. Pigmentation
Darkness caused by melanin is more common in skin of colour and can be genetic or worsened by sun exposure.
Treatment:
Chemical Peels – Specifically formulated for the delicate under-eye area.
Topical Lightening Agents – Like vitamin C, retinoids, or hydroquinone (under supervision).
4. Lifestyle Factors
Poor sleep, stress, dehydration, or allergies can also contribute to temporary dark circles.
Treatment:
Address the root cause – sleep, hydration, antihistamines if allergy-related.
Cooling eye masks or caffeine-infused eye creams can offer short-term relief.
