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.

Pigmented

Brown / Dark brown

Caused by excess melanin production. Common in Asian skin types due to higher melanin levels. Worsened by sun exposure and hormonal changes. Responds well to laser and brightening treatments.

Vascular

Blue / Purple / Reddish

Caused by visible blood vessels under thin skin. Worsened by fatigue, poor circulation, and allergies. Pro Yellow laser targets the blood vessels directly to reduce discolouration.

Structural

Shadow / Hollow

Caused by tear trough hollowing and volume loss under the eyes. Creates shadows that look like dark circles. Responds to dermal fillers and collagen-stimulating treatments.

Mixed Type

Combination of above

Most patients fall into this category. A combination of pigmentation, visible vessels, and volume loss requires a multi-treatment approach tailored to your specific skin.

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

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.

Condition What It Looks Like Main Cause Treatment Approach
Dark Circles Brown, blue, or purple discolouration Pigmentation, visible blood vessels, or thin skin Laser, PDRN eye booster, skincare
Eye Bags Visible bulging or sagging under the eye Fat deposits pushing forward due to aging RF tightening, HIFU, fillers
Puffy Eyes Temporary swelling, especially in the morning Fluid retention, allergies, high sodium intake Lifestyle changes, lymphatic drainage, cold compress

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.

💧
PDRN Eye Booster (Signature Treatment)

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

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

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.

💉
Under-Eye Fillers

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.

📡
RF Microneedling

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.

🎯
Combination Approach

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Dark Eye Circle Treatment

At Nexus Aesthetic, dark eye circle treatment starts from $299 per session for our PDRN Eye Booster. Under-eye fillers start from $500. The total cost depends on the type of dark circles you have and the treatment plan Dr Samantha recommends.

Most dark eye circle treatments require at least 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about one month apart, to achieve noticeable and lasting results.

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.

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.

The results are permanent. However, as we lose collagen with age, it is ideal to maintain it with regular sessions.

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.

Dark circles and eye bags are different conditions. Dark circles are discolouration, while eye bags are puffiness from fat deposits or fluid retention. Some treatments like HIFU and RF microneedling can address mild eye bags. Severe eye bags may require a different approach. Dr Samantha can assess both during consultation.
You can slow the return by wearing SPF 50+ daily, getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep, staying hydrated, and using a medical-grade vitamin C eye serum. Maintenance treatment sessions every 3 to 6 months also help sustain results over time.
