Dark circles and tired eyes

Dark circles under the eyes are one of the most common beauty concerns and have several possible causes. In some people it is due to pigmentation, in others to the skin under the eyes being so thin that the underlying blood vessels show through and give a dark or bluish tone. With age the skin becomes even thinner as collagen decreases, and lack of sleep and lifestyle reinforce the tired impression.

PRP treatment is a popular and gentle option for the eye area specifically. By introducing your own blood plasma, rich in growth factors, we can stimulate collagen production and improve the skin quality under the eyes. As the skin becomes slightly thicker and firmer, the underlying vessels show less, and the area gets a fresher, more rested impression. A very mild microneedling can be combined.

Realistic expectations matter. PRP can make a clear difference to dark circles caused by thin skin and skin quality, but circles caused mainly by deep pigmentation or by "tear trough" hollows (volume loss) respond less and may need other methods. We are honest about what your particular type of dark circles responds to.

At a free consultation we assess the cause and suggest whether PRP is the right path for you.
