Dark circles under the eyes can come from genetics, pigmentation, thinning skin or plain fatigue — and the right treatment depends entirely on which of these is actually causing yours.
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, which makes underlying blood vessels, pigment and hollowing far more visible here. At Derma Solutions, Dr. Mamta Vijay first identifies the exact cause — pigmented, vascular, structural or a mix — and then recommends a treatment or combination that targets it directly, rather than a one-size-fits-all fix.
What Causes Dark Circles?
Under-eye darkness is rarely just "tiredness" — common contributing factors include:
Correctly identifying the cause is the single most important step — a pigmentation-driven dark circle and a vascular or hollowing-driven one respond to very different treatments.
Treatment Options
Dr. Mamta Vijay may recommend one treatment or a tailored combination, based on your specific cause:
Under-Eye Chemical Peels
Gentle, low-strength peels formulated for delicate skin help fade pigmentation and brighten the under-eye area over a course of sessions.
Mesotherapy
Micro-injections of vitamins, antioxidants and brightening agents are delivered directly into the under-eye skin to improve tone and texture.
Laser Treatment
Targeted laser energy reduces pigmentation and visible blood vessels while stimulating fresh collagen in the treated area.
Dermal Fillers
Where hollowing under the eyes causes shadowing, a fine filler can restore volume and soften the tear-trough area.
How Is It Performed?
Treatment always begins with a detailed consultation and skin examination to pinpoint the cause of your dark circles. Depending on the chosen approach, the under-eye area is cleansed and, where needed, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The selected treatment — peel, mesotherapy, laser or filler — is then performed by Dr. Mamta Vijay in-clinic, and most sessions are completed within 20 to 30 minutes with minimal to no downtime.
