Excessive pigmentation of the eyelids is common in our area, and we have been particularly keen on developing treatments for this particular problem. With our specialized dark circle treatments, we target melanin where it resides, causing its resolution. Our unique work results in life-changing brightening of the eyelids, and the face, for our revitalized patients.
The skin around the eyes is extremely thin and delicate — often the first area to show signs of aging and fatigue. Dark circles can appear darker due to excessive pigmentation, shadowing from tear troughs, or visible blood vessels beneath thinning skin.
At Skin Experts Polyclinic, we use a combination laser approach to safely and effectively target pigmented dark circles. This includes:
Each laser session is carefully performed with strict eye protection, lasting about 2 hours in the clinic. Patients may experience mild swelling for 2 days and peeling for 4–5 days. During recovery, emollients, antibiotics, and antivirals are prescribed to ensure safe healing. Concealer can be used after the fifth day, and most patients experience up to 50% improvement after just one session.
It is crucial to protect the treated skin from sun and heat exposure before and after laser therapy. While results begin to appear within weeks, optimal outcomes can continue improving for up to 6 months.
For dark circles caused by hollow tear troughs, we recommend under-eye filler treatments to restore lost volume, reduce shadowing, and enhance light reflection for a naturally brighter, rejuvenated appearance.
