How do I get Rid of Dark Circles Around My Eyes? That is one question we get asked a lot. Now, the truth is dark circles around the eyes are very common, and everybody will experience them at some point in life.
Usually, we attribute dark circles to a hectic lifestyle and a lack of sleep. However, there are several reasons why you might be noticing dark circles under your eyes. In this blog, we have put together a handy guide to help you understand dark circles and explain some of the options available to help you get rid of them.
What causes Dark Circles?
Before we look at answering the question, how do I get rid of dark circles around my eyes; it helps to understand exactly what causes dark circles.

Some factors that could contribute to the formation of dark circles are:
- Vitamin deficiencies

How do I get Rid of Dark Circles Around My Eyes?
If you are looking at specific dark circle treatments to help combat dark circles around your eyes, there are several options you could consider.
Here at Skin NV, we understand that everybody is different, so during your initial consultation with us, we will help discuss each option with you fully, and upon a thorough skin examination, we will recommend the solution that would suit you best.
Here are some of the options we would look at when addressing dark circles around the eyes.
Tear Trough Fillers
Dermal fillers are one of the leading aesthetic treatments on the market, and for good reason. They are versatile and can address several skin concerns, from loss of volume to dark circles.
As a dark circle treatment, a dermal filler based on Hyaluronic Acid is injected into the tear trough area to help restore volume. The added volume effectively reduces the appearance of dark circles for a more rejuvenated and youthful look.
Chemical Exfoliation
Chemical exfoliation is one of the most effective methods to treat a whole host of skin concerns, not just dark circles. Chemical exfoliation uses active ingredients to gently remove dead skin cells and help encourage cell turnover within the skin to reveal a brighter complexion.
The outermost layer of your skin is the one exposed to the elements and, therefore, often contains dead and damaged cells. If you suffer from dark circles, this layer may also contain a high number of pigment cells, which is very common in those with darker skin tones.
Chemical exfoliation uses a combination of clinically approved solutions that are tailored to your exact needs. When applied to the skin, the ingredients get to work in removing your dead skin cells by dissolving the bonds that hold them in place. This allows the healthy skin cells to receive oxygen and absorb all the nutrients they need from your skincare. In turn, this brightens the undereye and minimises the appearance of dark circles.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy introduces the deeper layers of skin to a targeted complex of medical-grade vitamins and antioxidants to help combat a number of skin concerns, including dark circles. Mesotherapy has also been proven to help stimulate natural collagen production within the skin to improve overall skin health.
Micro-needling
Similar to Mesotherapy, micro-needling uses a specially designed tool to create tiny punctures on the surface of the skin to deliver a combination of bespoke nutrients to the deeper layers to target pigmentation and nourish the skin with brightening solutions.
In turn, this encourages the body to begin its natural healing process, stimulating collagen production to further improve your overall skin health.
Polynucleotides
This type of treatment uses shortened DNA fractions that occur naturally in the body to make regenerative changes on a cellular level. Polynucleotides are an injectable treatment that can be used to address a number of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation around the eyes, overall skin laxity, and cell turnover.
At-Home Treatments
After reviewing your skin, our trained experts may prescribe you a topical skincare routine that is tailored specifically around your skin and your overall concerns.
Your package will include a combination of bespoke medical-grade active ingredients to address your needs and an SPF product to help protect the skin from sun-induced pigmentation.
Your package may also contain a Cyspera mask that can be used alongside your prescribed skincare, following the instructions of your aesthetician. Cyspera is a pigment corrector that is used to address discolouration in the skin. This specially designed mask is made from an ingredient known as cysteamine, which occurs naturally in the body. When activated, cysteamine has been proven to help lighten pigmentation, making it highly effective in combatting dark circles and skin pigmentation.
Bespoke Treatment Package
Depending on the severity of your dark circles, and the cause, we may recommend a combination of treatments that will help address your concern fully. We have created a bespoke treatment package that includes several effective procedures; the exact treatments you require will be discussed with you during your consultation.
Our package includes:
• Mesotherapy
• Chemical exfoliation
• Polynucleotide Injectables
