What Causes Dark Circles?
As you get older, many facial features change. While some features may lend you a knowledgeable or mature dignity, others may be at odds with how you feel. Some common effects of aging are:
- Loss of volume in your cheeks
- Fat beneath the eyelids thins or drops
- Visible lines separate your eyelid and cheek
- Blood vessels in your eyes become more noticeable
When put together, these effects can lend you an aged appearance. Sun exposure, smoking, and skin damage can all cause these effects to build up more quickly.
Loss of Collagen
Additionally, your body begins to produce less collagen. This protein is essential for maintaining the structure and text of your skin. The result can be an appearance that looks tired and fatigued, even though inside you still feel as lively as ever. As you lose collagen, you may look:
- Fatigued
- Disinterested
- Stressed
All of this is only because of dark circles, and you may feel entirely lively inside. That captures the goal of dark circles treatment: to match your inner self and outer appearance.
What Are My Treatment Options?
The treatment that is right for you depends on your goals and how extensive your dark circles are. For some patients, they may see benefits from minimally invasive treatments. Other patients may benefit most from a surgical procedure. During your consultation at In Focus, we will work with you to develop a plan suitable to your unique needs.
Dark Circles Surgery
Eliminating lower eyelid bags usually involves what’s known as a lower eyelid surgery. Dark circle removal surgery can also be called lower blepharoplasty. Procedures for under-eye circles involve adjusting the skin and fat in your lower eyelid by way of a small surgical procedure. Your eyelids are then sculpted and contoured to allow for a more preferable look.
Surgery for dark circles under the eyes can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Often, there is no visible scar since no incision can be seen on the skin. To achieve this, you need a surgeon like those at In Focus, who are experts in facial anatomy. After you heal, no one will be aware that you had surgery, and that is the sign of natural cosmetic plastic surgery.
Non-Surgical Options
Not everyone needs surgery to improve their dark circles. For less stubborn dark circles, we offer non-surgical alternatives to lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Many patients choose non-surgical options as a preventative measure to be a step ahead of dark circles before they form in the first place. These typically include hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
These fillers deliver noticeable improvements without the need for incisions or downtime. However, the results are temporary, usually from several months to a year. For some patients, this is an advantage as it does not require the long-term commitment of a surgical procedure.
The non-surgical options we provide include:
- FaceTite
- AccuTite
- Microneedling
- Dermal Fillers (Restylane and Juvederm)
- Laser Treatments

We are here to help you decide what treatment is best for removing your under-eye circles. During your consultation, you will have a chance to express your treatment goals. Then, working with you, our surgeons develop a personalized treatment for your dark circles.
Recovery and Downtime
For non-surgical options, there is practically no downtime. When an expert performs treatments such as dermal fillers, you should be able to return to your normal routine immediately.
For blepharoplasty, there will be a brief recovery period. During this time, we recommend you:
- Apply an ice compress regularly for a week or two after the procedure
- Avoid any strenuous physical activity, as well as any activity that strains the eyes.
- Get plenty of rest
- Avoid smoking
We will provide you with medication to help dull any pain or discomfort. The full recovery period depends on the circumstances, procedure, age, and general health of the patient, but it shouldn’t be too long.
