Representatives of the fair sex, who experience frequent stress and lack of sleep, often face the problem of dark circles under their eyes. As you know, this phenomenon greatly spoils the overall appearance, and therefore women try to deal with the problem using all possible methods. What are the ways to remove dark circles under the eyes? Cosmetology offers several fairly effective methods for achieving the desired result, which we will discuss in more detail below.
Reason for appearance
As experts in cosmetology note, dark circles under the eyes are usually a consequence of lack of sleep, which initially appears only temporarily, but in the absence of a normal sleep pattern for a long time, this problem becomes chronic and becomes more obvious. If you delay its decision for a long time, it can become more serious.
According to some cosmetologists, bags under the eyes, like dark circles, can be a consequence of a previous injury in this area or may indicate serious problems in the functioning of internal organs. One way or another, having established the root cause of this phenomenon, it is still necessary to eliminate the existing consequences. To achieve this, representatives of the fair sex resort to various cosmetic procedures for bags under the eyes and bruises. Let's consider them further in more detail.
Dark circles under the eyes: causes
In response to the question of why blue or black circles appear under the eyes, experts cite the following reasons:
- disorders of fluid metabolism in the body;
- long work at the computer;
- stressful effects;
- chronic fatigue;
- hereditary predisposition;
- disorders of the cardiovascular system;
- kidney diseases;
- inflammatory processes;
- endocrine disorders.
Circles under the eyes can also be so-called bags, which are formed due to an increase in the amount of periorbital tissue, which affects the tension of the orbital septum. Because of this, adipose tissue becomes visible. Such bags can appear in both women and men who are genetically predisposed to this defect, as a result of an allergic reaction, a number of diseases, and also after consuming a significant amount of alcohol or salty foods. In addition, this problem may appear as a sign of aging.
Fillers
The use of fillers is one of the most common cosmetic procedures that help combat this phenomenon. It allows you to eliminate only visual defects, but not the root of the problem.
Filler is a cosmetic composition presented in the form of a silicone filler made from hyaluronic acid. The procedure for its use involves injecting the drug into the area of skin located under the eyes. After introducing the component, all the active substances included in the product begin to stimulate the appearance of new cells, moisturizing the skin from the inside.
As practice shows, to achieve the desired effect, the product must be used 2-3 times with an interval of several months between procedures.
The injection of fillers is a procedure that has almost no contraindications. The only case when it is not recommended is if a woman has sensitive skin.
Mesotherapy
How to remove dark circles under the eyes? Cosmetology offers another reliable procedure option - mesotherapy. Its essence also lies in the introduction of injections, only, unlike fillers, it contains not one component, but a whole complex of them, consisting of collagen, elastin, organic acids and plant extracts with medicinal properties.
The consequence of this procedure is a significant elimination of bruising, as well as a noticeable resorption of existing swelling. The desired effect from the procedure in question can be noticed after 2-3 sessions, depending on the characteristics of the skin.
Reviews about this procedure say that it is quite painful, and if it is performed incorrectly, it can even cause hematomas and scars. That is why it is best to contact only trusted specialists in the field of cosmetology to carry it out.
Treatment methods, drugs and equipment
Treatment of even large bruises and circles under the eyes is not a problem today. GMTClinic has a number of effective techniques that solve the issue from different angles.
Mesotherapy and biorevitalization
Mesotherapy for bruises and circles under the eyes is very effective and very popular.
Injections for circles under the eyes work comprehensively, moisturizing and restoring the elasticity of the skin of the lower eyelids, removing fine wrinkles, stimulating cell renewal, protecting against photoaging and saturating the skin with essential elements. Doctors at our clinic work with an extensive pool of injectable drugs: NCTF mesococktail, Mesoxanthin, Mesowharton, Mesoeye.
Eliminating circles under the eyes with injections of the drug Mesoai is one of the most effective methods in modern invasive cosmetology. The main strength and difference of the drug is a complex of peptides with a synergistic effect. The result of their work is a systemic effect on the periorbital zone: the outflow of blood and lymph is normalized, blood vessels are strengthened, cellular respiration is restored - as a result, swelling is eliminated (this allows us to recommend Mesoai as a restorative measure after blepharoplasty); the production of collagen and elastin in cells increases; dark circles, bags and fine wrinkles disappear.
The Mesoai procedure can be performed in any season, it does not require preparation, and rehabilitation is minimal.
Plasma therapy
Plasma therapy is one of the most physiological, safe and effective invasive techniques for eliminating skin imperfections, since the patient’s own blood plasma is used to create the drug. For the same reason, plasma therapy is suitable for patients for whom mesotherapy and biorevitalization are contraindicated. The results of the method are obvious after the first procedure, and for maximum effect, a course of 2-4 procedures is prescribed with a break of a month.
The RegenLab plasma therapy technique uses a special technology for obtaining and processing plasma. In the blood collection procedure, three different colored tubes with different fillings can be used in various combinations or separately, depending on the desired result. In the case of circles under the eyes, you will need blue and red. With their help, platelet-rich plasma and high molecular weight protein gel (plasmogel) are obtained.
Possibilities: stimulation of collagen production, launching the process of angiogenesis (creation of new blood vessels), which leads to restoration of skin elasticity and freshness, eliminates age spots and signs of fatigue.
Contour plastic
Fillers for under-eye circles are effective in cases where the blood vessels in the lower eyelid area are located close to the surface of the skin or there is a deep nasolacrimal groove. With the help of contour plastic surgery, the volume of the soft tissues of the face is replenished, and the production of one’s own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid is stimulated.
GMTClinic uses, among other things, plasma gel Endoret Gel for contouring, on the basis of which an individual injection cocktail is created from the patient’s own plasma. The patented formula allows the drug to rejuvenate the skin at the cellular level in the most natural way possible.
Possibilities: filling in too deep nasolacrimal grooves, forming a framework of renewed connective tissue and overall freshness of the skin by activating the production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Hardware cosmetology
Modern cosmetology knows how to remove dark circles under the eyes without resorting to invasive procedures. To help solve this problem:
- laser devices Quanta System Duetto, MedioStar Next;
- devices with photo technology Elos, Sciton BBL, M22;
- laser resurfacing Fraxel, Sciton Halo, MultiPulse CO2 and Dermablate MCL-31;
- rf-lifting Thermage (has a special attachment for the periorbital zone);
- microcurrent therapy that improves blood circulation and eliminates blue discoloration.
How to remove dark circles under the eyes using microcurrent therapy?
Microcurrent therapy is another type of treatment that can help eliminate unwanted puffiness under the eyes and dark circles. This procedure belongs to the group of painless ones, but, according to experts in the field of cosmetology, it is not very effective when compared with mesotherapy and the introduction of fillers. In order to achieve the desired effect, as a rule, you need to attend at least 10 procedures.
The essence of this procedure is to stimulate subcutaneous tissues using low-frequency current. It helps to activate blood circulation processes, due to which blood vessels are restored and blueness disappears.
Cosmetologists note that this type of procedure is more likely to be a preventive type of therapy, and its use is possible only in simple cases.
Blepharoplasty
Removing dark circles under the eyes is also possible with blepharoplasty. It is a minor surgical operation in which the eyelids are corrected. It should be noted that it does not always help eliminate darkening in the area around the eyes, but it can make them less noticeable.
Blepharoplasty is practiced in cases where blue discoloration is caused by age-related changes occurring in the body. To carry it out, you need to contact only highly qualified specialists who have extensive experience in this field.
Questionable methods
Mesothreads
This is one of the newest rejuvenation technologies. At different levels, thin needles are inserted under the skin, with mesothreads (threads) stretched inside them. They are made from polydioxanone, a self-absorbable suture material. The inserted needles are removed, but the mesothreads remain under the skin.
After about six months, these threads disintegrate into substances that are safe for the body. In their place there remains a seal that keeps the skin from sagging. In addition, mesothreads stimulate collagen production.
But they do not eliminate bruises and will not be able to tighten the skin under the eyes. Even Aptos threads, which are introduced locally into the desired area for lifting, will not cope with this. By the way, if you are offered a thread eyelid lift, know that these are also mesothreads (or Aptos threads).
Laser peeling
During this procedure, the top layer of skin is removed, which helps rejuvenate the area. But dark circles under the eyes are not removed with this procedure. Yes, it will smooth out wrinkles and renew the skin, but don’t count on more.
Carboxytherapy for eyelids
With this method, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is injected under the skin. As they write, blood and lymph circulation is stimulated, which makes it possible to activate metabolic processes in the tissue. And it is quite possible that the formation of collagen and other active substances occurs more intensively.
As I was told at the Arbat Aesthetic clinic, such a procedure is a stupid scam for money. In the fight against bruises and circles, carboxytherapy is like a “plaster against corns on the sole.” Yes, there is a general therapeutic effect from the method. But if you keep grinding for a whole year, then maybe there will be something in the end. And no one from adequate cosmetic clinics does this procedure.
Lipolifting
How to remove dark circles under the eyes? For this purpose, cosmetologists often suggest using the lipolifting procedure.
Lipolifting is a cosmetic intervention that involves the introduction of natural fatty tissue into the subcutaneous part of the problem area, which is previously removed from the patient’s thigh. The active components are introduced using a syringe. As a result of the procedure, there is a significant disappearance of bruising, as well as tightening of the skin of the eyelids.
Reviews of this procedure left by cosmetologists mention one significant disadvantage - it has a short-lived effect. As a rule, the effect is maintained for several months, after which a repeat session is required.
Ways to deal with bags and dark circles under the eyes
Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy has gained a good reputation in the fight against bags and dark circles under the eyes .
This is an injection technique of introducing carbon dioxide under the skin to stimulate collagen production, strengthening and brightening the skin. The usual course consists of 6 procedures twice a week. Cost – from 1500 rub. A combination of carboxytherapy with peelings, mesotherapy and biorevitalization.
Carboxytherapy is even more effective if it is combined with other methods of combating dark circles under the eyes - chemical or diamond peeling, mesotherapy or biorevitalization. Those who want to know how to remove dark circles under the eyes are often advised to use peelings that help reduce pigment synthesis. Special gentle compositions are used, the use of which implies rapid recovery and minimal trauma to the skin.
To remove dark circles under the eyes, trichloroacetic and lactic acid are actively used.
A course of 4-6 sessions can be carried out separately, and if it goes in parallel with carboxytherapy, intervals of about a week are made between these procedures. The price depends on the composition, but usually it starts from 2000 rubles. Glagoleva Ekaterina
: So-called “bruises” and “bags” in the periorbital zone can cause a lot of concern for both patients and doctors.
At the moment, microcurrent drainage can be considered the “ gold standard
” in getting rid of edema caused by fluid retention.
In parallel with microcurrent therapy, the cosmetologist explains the need to maintain an adequate drinking regime: at least 1.5-2 liters of drinking still water per day, stop drinking liquids 2-4 hours before bedtime
. Black tea, coffee, juices and fruit drinks are not included in this volume.
Second method
modern cosmetology, which is proving itself better and better for improving the tone and texture of the skin in the periorbital area, is fractional photothermolysis. It is better to choose devices and techniques that have clear instructions: it is possible to work in the area around the eyes.
There cannot be a standard protocol - after all, a specialist has to deal with too complex problems in this area, but both doctors and patients must remember the need for differential diagnosis of edema with hernial protrusions.
If minimally invasive therapy does not bring the desired results, then a consultation with a plastic surgeon should be recommended. Sometimes blepharoplasty
may be the method of choice. In aesthetic medicine we are trying to move from less invasive to more invasive. And if you can achieve an effect using therapeutic methods, that’s great, but we must remember cases when surgical intervention is not only inevitable, but also useful
To anesthetize or not?
European cosmetologists, who talk about how to remove dark circles under the eyes, categorically do not recommend using painkillers before mesotherapy, since ointments significantly reduce the effectiveness of the administered cocktails. But in Russia, such ointments and sprays are used quite often, especially when it comes to treating such a sensitive area as the periorbital.
In this case, fewer sessions are performed than with mesotherapy of other areas of the face. Visible results may appear after the first procedure; on average, no more than five are required, but courses will have to be repeated at least once a year. Cocktails against dark circles under the eyes include antioxidants, microelements, and vitamins to improve microcirculation. The price starts from 1000 rub.
Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization also has positive reviews regarding the solution to this problem. Bags and bruises under the eyes are removed thanks to drugs that are administered in a special way - the so-called “single needle technique”. It allows you to reduce the number of injections, while increasing the amount of substances administered. The optimal course is four procedures with an interval of 2 weeks. Biorevitalization cannot be carried out more than once a year - this will disrupt the natural metabolism of the skin. Cost – from 4000 rub.
Lasers in the fight against dark circles under the eyes
Laser therapy, including fractional photothermolysis, is also used to remove dark circles under the eyes. The devices allow you to work in delicate areas, however, painful sensations are possible, especially with a low pain threshold. It will take 4 sessions once a month, costing from 4000 rubles. Some advertisements on how to get rid of dark circles under the eyes claim that you can sunbathe immediately. However, it is recommended to sunbathe after the course for some time to avoid hyperpigmentation. The sun ban will end in just three months. In addition, swelling persists for two days after the procedure.
Microcurrent therapy
A less radical, absolutely painless, but popular method for removing bags and dark circles under the eyes is microcurrent therapy, which has a beneficial effect on capillaries and provides lymphatic drainage. The course consists of 10-15 procedures with an interval of several days. Then a maintenance session once a month is recommended. In some cases, microcurrents give satisfactory results, but it happens that the effect is weakly expressed. It all depends on the nature of the bruises under the eyes. Cost – from 1000 rub.
Lipofilling
There are proposals for lipofilling of the periorbital zone. But they should not be taken seriously. It is impossible to calculate how many fat cells will survive. And according to unofficial data, it rarely reaches even 30%. Therefore, the final result will be unpredictable.
Tattoo
A new product for correcting dark circles under the eyes is the introduction of a pigment into the area under the eyes that matches the color of the skin, in other words, tattooing. There are still few masters practicing this technique. Their primary task is to select the appropriate shade of paint as accurately as possible. Potential clients wishing to learn how to remove dark circles under the eyes should remember that the procedure is quite painful even with the use of local anesthesia, the recovery period will last quite a long time, and up to four procedures may be required. At the same time, those who decided to try a similar correction of dark circles under the eyes on themselves are extremely pleased with the effect. The cost of such procedures should be checked with the specialist, but keep in mind that the cost of the course is unlikely to be less than 6-8 thousand rubles.
Cosmetical tools
How to remove dark circles under the eyes? The cosmetology of our time allows us to do this without introducing active components under the skin, through the use of targeted cosmetics. The most popular and time-tested products include products such as Filorga Optim-Eyes, La Biosthetique Douceur Contour Gel, The Skin House Galactomyces Eye Cream, Librederm Hyaluronic Multi-Active Cream, as well as the most budget option for cosmetics of this type - K-vit Anti-dark Circle Serum SesDerma. Let us next consider in more detail some of the features of the listed funds.
Prevention of dark circles around the eyes.
Along with the above methods, it is worth paying attention to ways to prevent the appearance of dark circles:
- proper and balanced nutrition (reducing salt intake, increasing the amount of vegetables and fruits in the diet);
- proper daily routine and proper sleep (walks in the fresh air, sleep for at least 8 hours, reducing time spent on the computer and other popular gadgets);
- organizing a healthy lifestyle (quitting smoking and alcoholic beverages, minimizing stressful situations);
- compliance with the drinking regime;
- performing gymnastics for the eyes.
Gymnastics for the eyes should be given 5 minutes a day; it improves lymphatic and venous drainage. Gymnastic exercises are as follows:
- Roll your eyes for 1 minute;
- with your eyes closed, lift them up 8 times and then lower them down;
- rapid blinking for 30 seconds;
- With your eyes open, draw the letter “V” with them.
To summarize, we can conclude that cosmetics and masks, when solving the problem of bruises, provide only a temporary effect, so they are recommended to be used if the problem is caused by a temporary phenomenon - overwork, violation of the work and rest schedule, stressful situation. In all other cases, it is worth resorting to modern cosmetology methods.
An aesthetic defect in the form of bruises under the eyes is an unpleasant, but completely solvable problem.

Removing circles from pigment and brightening the skin
Traditionally, IPL photorejuvenation is used against pigmented skin. The result can be seen after the first visit, but usually 2-3 procedures are needed for complete correction. The cost of photorejuvenation of the area around the eyes is 5,000 rubles.
Also, to lighten pigment, whitening peeling , but not every composition can be used in this area - the skin around the eyes is delicate and thin.
We recommend Enerpeel EL Plus delicate peeling, created specifically for this area. Cost - from 3000 rubles (price including discount, check if it is valid at the moment).
Please note that you may need multiple photorejuvenation or peel treatments to achieve long-lasting results.
In the case of peeling, good results are achieved in combination with the Cytocare meso-cocktail (consists of hyaluronic acid and a nourishing, vitamin solution).
Mesotherapy - from 3500 rub.
Mesotherapy as a separate procedure can also help eliminate dark circles under the eyes. During mesotherapy, a mixture of drugs and vitamins is introduced, which is selected individually. The average course of mesotherapy includes 4-8 sessions , and the effect of the procedure lasts up to six months.
We select mesotherapy cocktails personally, sometimes mixing them. To rejuvenate the eyelid area, we prefer preparations with peptide and amino acid complexes; to lighten pigmented dark circles under the eyes, we prefer products based on adapted ascorbic acid.
Biorevitalization - from 7,000 rubles.
Biorevitalization involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid in its pure form into the dermis and does not directly eliminate either dark circles or the nasolacrimal groove .
We recommend biorevitalization to those whose dark circles under the eyes are just appearing or have appeared. At the initial stages of the problem, the procedure, in general, can “push back” contouring to a later date.
Usually, in addition to injection procedures, we select professional cosmetics for each patient, which can be used at home to consolidate and increase the result.

Having figured out how to remove dark circles under the eyes using cosmetology, you should clearly define the actions that should be performed after the procedures.
In order for the resulting effect to last as long as possible, cosmetologists recommend eliminating the cause of blue discoloration. First of all, you need to stabilize your sleep pattern. They also advise choosing cosmetics, including decorative ones, more thoroughly.

Efficiency and advantages
Treatment effectiveness
will depend on the cause of the pathology, its degree and the chosen method for correction. If you choose the wrong method, the effect may be zero. Therefore, trust the experience and professionalism of the cosmetologist, and let him choose the right tactics for you to get rid of dark circles under your eyes.
The primary effect is most often noticeable after the first sessions of therapy. The skin under the lower eyelid smoothes out, becomes more elastic, the dark color fades and becomes less pronounced. After a course of procedures, the color is completely evened out. The results obtained will last on average from 6 months to 1.5 years.
The main
advantage
is the simplicity
of the technique , its low invasiveness and almost complete painlessness. Many modern fillers contain anesthetic components, so additional anesthesia is not required during the procedure.
