Laser treatment

Some causes of dark under-eye circles do not require medical treatment. For example, stress and fatigue can cause dark under-eye circles, as can smoking. If it is determined that one of these factors has caused your dark under-eye circles, Dr. may simply suggest that you get some rest or quit smoking, and see if the problem corrects itself.
However, a treatable cause of dark under-eye circles is hyper pigmentation. Hyper pigmentation is a darkening of the skin and can often occur in the under-eye area, especially in those with darker skin tones. Even if your skin is healthy and in good condition, hyper pigmentation may be causing your dark under-eye circles. Several of our laser and light treatment procedures can correct dark under-eye circles caused by hyper pigmentation, although we tend to recommend an Intense Pulsed Light treatment, as it can be specifically adjusted to treat hyper pigmentation.
