Are you tired of struggling with stubborn dark circles under your eyes? If you found yourself here, you likely searched for a dark circle treatment and microneedling. While microneedling can help with texture and even brighten the skin tone when superficial pigmentation is involved, microneedling under eyes usually needs something a little different.

Where Do Dark Circles Come From?

Dark circles can be present for a variety of reasons such as fat pad herniation, pigmentation, hollowing, excess vascularity, and thin skin. They can be brought on by a variety of factors such as genetics, lack of sleep, sun damage, being under-weight, and even dehydration. While concealer can provide temporary relief to some, addressing the underlying causes is key to achieving long-lasting results.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and smoother. Skin under the eyes can be treated with microneedling but because the skin here is very thin and delicate, the treatment cannot be very deep.

Solutions for Microneedling Under Eyes

One of the most common reasons for under-eye darkness is from shadowing due to hollowing in this area. If an eye bag is present, surgical removal or repositioning is considered the gold standard. If you only have hollowing or a smaller eye bag, dermal fillers such as Restylane Eyelight or Volbella may be an excellent choice for this area. If vascularity is the culprit to under-eye darkness, lasers such as IPL photofacial may be of benefit. Some patients also report a reduction of dry eye when treated with IPL photofacial in this region. If pigmentation is causing under-eye darkness, there are treatments such as the ViPeel and skin-brightening products to brighten this area.
