Types of dark circles
Distinguishing the type of dark circle is what allows for a natural-looking result. These are the four main types and how they are addressed.
They have a brown, purplish or bluish tone. They are related to genetics, skin pigmentation, sun exposure, poor circulation or very thin skin.
It is treated with a combined skin approach
They appear when the skin under the eyes is very thin, allowing the blood vessels in the area to show through, with a blue or purple tone.

Causes
Dark circles appear due to a combination of factors that make the under-eye area look darker, hollowed, or puffy. The most common ones are:
Very thin skin or skin prone to pigmentation can make shadows and the blood vessels in the periocular area more visible.
Over the years, fat is reabsorbed and the tear trough becomes more defined, creating a permanent shadow.
Tiredness, lack of sleep, and poor circulation accentuate the bluish or purplish tone.
Exposure to the sun without protection and other habits increase pigmentation in the area.
The accumulation of fluid or the protrusion of fat from the lower eyelid form bags.
In many cases, their origin is structural or due to pigmentation, not just sleep; that's why they don't disappear on their own.
Treatments
There isn't a single treatment for all dark circles. Following a medical assessment, the most suitable approach for your case will be defined.
It is the reference technique for tear duct and sunken dark circles. We use a semi-crosslinked hyaluronic acid from a specialised Swiss laboratory, with a dermo-restructuring complex (amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamin B6). In many cases, it is applied with cannula to reduce the risk of bruising and to treat the area more precisely. The procedure is quick, outpatient, and requires no hospitalisation.

Specialist's opinion
Not all dark circles are the same, nor do they respond to the same treatment: a hyaluronic acid filler works very well for a tear trough, but it won't correct pigmented dark circles. That's why the first step is always an individual assessment to identify the type of dark circle; only then can a natural and safe result be achieved.
