What Type of Dark Eye Circles Do You Have?
Not all dark circles are the same. The treatment that works depends on the type you have. Most people have mixed-type dark circles, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works.
Why Dark Eye Circles Will Not Go Away With Skincare Alone
Most people try eye creams, serums, and concealers first. These products work on the surface, but dark eye circles form deeper, in the dermis layer where topical products simply cannot reach. The result is years of spending on products that mask the problem rather than treating it.
Dark circles make you look 5 to 10 years older than you are. People assume you are tired, stressed, or unwell, even when you are not. The good news is that once you understand what type of dark circles you have, there are treatments that target the actual cause.
Concealers cover temporarily but do not treat the cause
Eye creams and serums cannot penetrate deep enough to reach the dermis
Without knowing the type, you may be treating the wrong cause entirely
If you have been dealing with stubborn dark circles that do not respond to skincare, you can learn more about foods that contribute to dark circles or read about how niacinamide helps with pigmentation.
Dark Eye Circles vs Eye Bags vs Puffy Eyes
These three conditions are often confused, but they have different causes and require different treatments. Many patients have more than one at the same time.
How We Treat Dark Eye Circles at Nexus Aesthetic
The most important step in treating dark circles is accurate diagnosis. Dr Samantha assesses which types of dark circles you have, then recommends a treatment plan that targets the actual cause. In many cases, a combination approach gives the most noticeable improvement.
Our signature treatment uses polynucleotide eye injections to deliver hydration directly to the dermis. The PDRN solution stimulates collagen production, thickens the thin under-eye skin, and reduces the visibility of blood vessels. Improvement is often visible after 1 session with minimal downtime.
Pro Yellow laser uses a 577nm wavelength that specifically targets haemoglobin in blood vessels. This makes it effective for vascular dark circles (the blue or purple type). It also helps reduce redness and improve overall skin tone around the eyes.
Pico laser breaks down melanin pigmentation in ultra-short pulses. This makes it suitable for pigmented dark circles (the brown type). It also stimulates collagen remodelling which helps thicken the under-eye skin over time.
For structural dark circles caused by tear trough hollowing, dermal fillers can restore the lost volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate improvement by filling in the hollow area, reducing the shadow that creates the dark circle appearance.
Radiofrequency microneedling delivers controlled heat energy into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and tightening the under-eye skin. This helps with fine lines and mild laxity that contribute to the tired appearance.
Since most patients have mixed-type dark circles, Dr Samantha often combines two or more treatments in a protocol. For example, PDRN eye booster for hydration and collagen, plus Pro Yellow laser for vascular discolouration. The specific combination depends on your diagnosis.

Post-Treatment Care
After your dark eye circle treatment, follow these guidelines to maximize results and minimize any temporary side effects:
Avoid touching, rubbing, or pressing the treated area for 24 hours.
Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily. Avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment.
Let the treatment area breathe. Avoid eye makeup, contact lenses, and eye creams for 12 hours.
If mild swelling occurs, a clean cold compress for 10 minutes can help. This is normal and resolves within 24 to 48 hours.

How Much Does It Cost?
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
Most dark eye circle treatments require at least 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about one month apart, to achieve noticeable and lasting results.
Is There Downtime?
Downtime depends on the treatment. HIFU Eye has no downtime, Pico Eye may cause 1–2 days of redness, and Signature Eye Booster can cause mild swelling for a few hours to a few days.
What Is The Procedure Like? Is It Painful?
We want you to be as comfortable as possible. We’ll use an anesthetic numbing cream on the treatment area for 30-45 minutes before the procedure. We can also offer you additional pain relief options like Panadol or Arcoxia.
Are The Results Permanent?
The results are permanent. However, as we lose collagen with age, it is ideal to maintain it with regular sessions.
Why Dark Eye Circles Are So Common in Singapore
Singapore’s environment and lifestyle make dark circles more prevalent here
than in many other countries. Understanding these factors helps explain why your dark circles may be resistant to basic skincare.
Asian skin types naturally produce more melanin, making pigmented dark
circles more visible. The under-eye skin is also thinner in many Asian
individuals, making blood vessels more prominent.
