What Causes Dark Circles Under the Eyes?

Dark circles often develop due to a combination of factors, which is exactly why we focus on offering a number of effective solutions—this gives us the ability to address your issue at its root cause so you can enjoy lasting relief.

Genetics can play a significant role in the development of under-eye circles: Some individuals naturally have thinner skin around the eyes, making their blood vessels more readily visible. In other cases, lifestyle habits—like lack of sleep, poor hydration, and high stress—can exacerbate darkness under the eyes by causing fluid retention and puffiness.

Sun exposure can worsen the issue by stimulating melanin production, creating hyperpigmentation in the delicate areas under your eyes and making those dark circles seem even more pronounced. In certain cases, allergies or nasal congestion can also cause your facial blood vessels to dilate, enhancing the appearance of dark circles.

How HVME Can Help

Tear Trough Filler

Hyaluronic acid-based injectable dermal fillers restore lost volume in the tear trough area under your eyes, reducing hollowing and diminishing the presence of darker, shadowed areas. The skilled Master Injectors at HVME will personalize your treatment, creating seamless results that blend naturally with your natural facial contours.

PRP / PRF Under-Eye Injections

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) use growth factors derived from your own blood to rejuvenate your under-eye region. These natural treatments stimulate your body’s collagen production and enhance your skin’s thickness, helping reduce discoloration and resolving a “crepey” texture.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Non-invasive laser therapy—Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant—targets pigmentation and improves the texture of the skin around your eyes. By prompting new collagen growth, these advanced laser treatments can effectively lighten dark circles while smoothing over fine lines and diminishing the presence of visible wrinkles.

Clinical Facials + Peels

At HVME, we offer several customizable facials and chemical peels, each tailored to address the specific cause of your under-eye discoloration. Exfoliating enzymes, gentle acids, and nourishing serums help remove dead skin cells and encourage cellular renewal. This approach brightens the under-eye region and complements other targeted treatments for a more uniform and radiant complexion.
