Understanding dark circles
Dark circles can look brown, blue or purple, or more like a shadow beneath your eyes. You might have always had them, or perhaps they’ve become more noticeable recently.
Sometimes the skin itself is darker or thinner; sometimes a hollow is creating the shadow. They’re also different from eye bags, although you can have both. We’ll look at the whole area and explain what could help. If hollowness is the main change you’ve noticed, our volume loss page may be useful too.
What causes dark circles?
Your natural colouring, genetics and skin thickness can all play a part. Changes in the support beneath your eyes can create shadows, while allergies and rubbing may make darkness more noticeable.
Tiredness and dehydration can add to the appearance, but getting more sleep won’t fix every cause. If the skin also looks finely crinkled, crepey skin may be part of the picture. We’ll help you make sense of it.

Common questions
What is the best treatment for dark circles?
It comes down to the cause, and that’s our job to help you understand. We’ll explain whether improving skin quality, addressing a suitable hollow or a different approach makes the most sense.
Do polynucleotides get rid of dark circles?
Under-eye polynucleotides may help when thin or crepey skin is part of the concern. They aren’t a fix for every dark circle, though, and won’t replace volume in a significant hollow or reliably remove pigmentation.
Will tear trough filler help if I have eye bags?
Not always. Tear trough filler can make puffiness more obvious and can cause lasting swelling, so it needs careful consideration. We’ll be honest if another approach would be more suitable for your under-eyes.
Why do I have dark circles even when I sleep well?
Sleep is only one part of the picture. Genetics, skin thickness, pigmentation and hollows can all contribute. Ongoing irritation or swelling is worth discussing with a healthcare professional before assuming an aesthetic treatment is the answer.
