What Are Dark Circles?

Dark Circles refer to discoloration or shadowing beneath the eyes that can create a fatigued appearance. Although they may appear similar, dark circles can develop from different causes, and the most effective treatment depends on identifying the specific type. A professional evaluation helps determine whether the main cause is pigmentation, volume loss, structural shadowing, or skin quality.

Improving Tired-Looking Eyes with Customized Under-Eye Rejuvenation at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

Dark circles are one of the most common concerns affecting the eye area, often making the face appear tired, older, or less refreshed.

Techniques

Types of Dark Circles and Treatment Options

01

Pigmented Dark Circles

Pigmented dark circles are caused by increased melanin around the under-eye area.

These approaches focus on improving uneven pigmentation and skin tone.

  • Laser treatments
  • Brightening skin treatments
  • Skin rejuvenation procedures
  • Specialized skincare programs
02

Vascular Dark Circles

Vascular dark circles appear blue or purple due to visible blood vessels beneath thin skin.

Improving skin quality can help create a brighter under-eye appearance.

  • Laser treatments targeting pigmentation or vessels
  • Skin strengthening treatments
  • Collagen-stimulating procedures
03

Shadow-Based Dark Circles

Shadow-based dark circles are often caused by hollowness, under-eye bags, or facial structure.

These procedures improve the contour transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

  • Under Eye Fat Grafting
  • Lower Eyelid Surgery
