Let's immediately highlight several problems under the eyes that are often confused: first of all, we pay attention to the fact that the nasolacrimal trough and dark circles are different problems , although very often they form together!
Essentially, dark circles (or bruises) refer to a change in the color of the skin under the eyes. However, often the reason is not skin color!
Our patients often report over the phone that they have dark circles, but in reality they have bags and puffiness under their eyes. Yes, often these problems appear at the same time, but it is important to understand the difference.
Bags under the eyes (or hernias of the lower eyelids) are formed due to the redistribution of the so-called fat packets of the orbital region with age. Remember this process, it is also responsible for the formation of circles.
There are several reasons why dark circles appear.
1) The main and most common is thinning of fat packets in the lower eyelid area. In the absence of a fat layer, blood vessels and the dark circular muscle of the eye begin to appear through the skin.
2) Acquired pigmentation of the skin around the eyes - usually this is a genetic predisposition. Melanocytes in the area under the eyes begin to intensively produce melanin and the skin darkens.
3) Anatomically deep-set eyes . In this case, there are no problems, it’s just that the anatomy of the orbital region is such that light, reflected from the skin, makes the lower eyelid area dark.
We recommend reading a separate article where we talked about all the reasons for the formation of dark circles in the lower eyelid area.
It is also important to understand the causes of the nasolacrimal trough (redistribution of fat packets and retraction of the orbital ligament) - after all, the most common type of lower eyelid problems is the combination of the appearance of the nasolacrimal trough with dark circles.
The most common examples of problems under the eyes and their correction.
Here we see a complex manifestation of both the nasolacrimal groove and dark circles under the eyes. All imperfections are eliminated using filler injections into the area under the eyes.
What does the color of the circles mean?
You can often come across statements that the color of the circles indicates one or another malfunction in the body. We officially declare to all readers have been identified between the color of formations under the eyes and diseases (organ function) !
The following can be stated more or less clearly:
- If the circles are dark blue or have a red/blue appearance, this means that blood vessels and muscles are visible through the skin (we all remember what color raw meat is).
- If the circles have a brown or yellow tint, this is most likely skin pigmentation.
Combinations of shades are possible in the case of a combined genesis of problems in the lower eyelid area.
How can I remove circles and how long does the effect last?
Each patient is unique - some will benefit from filler injections, others will need to undergo depigmentation. Therefore, it is very important to have a live consultation with a cosmetologist!
Methods of aesthetic cosmetology are varied and are aimed at:
- leveling skin texture, replenishing lost fat packets (main method)
- reduction of possible skin pigmentation (in case of pigmentation)
- increased microcirculation in the periorbital zone (general improvement of condition and prevention of circles).
⚡ I want to clean up the circles at home!
Those who know the mechanisms of formation of these formations understand that massaging thinned subcutaneous fat with spoons is stupid. As well as applying all kinds of compresses in the hope of discoloring dark circles - this color comes from either pigment or blood vessels with muscles.
The only working method is professional (!!!) patches. We talk about them in a separate article.
⚡ I want my fat back!
Is it possible to return the fat that has disappeared from under the eyes to its place?
Of course, if you start to get fat. But the problem with our body is that fat is not primarily deposited in the orbital region. Therefore, when you get the necessary fat layer to hide your dark circles, you will already have a double chin and drooping sides.
A universal solution that helps most patients.
The most common effective way to solve the problem of circles around the eyes is contouring - injections of fillers containing hyaluronic acid .
The essence of the procedure is to visually smooth out all the unevenness of the skin under the eyes; lead to saturate the tissues with the drug to compensate for the deficiency of the fat layer under the skin.
It is important how exactly the doctor performs the procedure . To ensure that after the procedure the patient does not leave with bruises from injections under the eyes, the drug should be administered with a safe cannula through the zygomatic puncture (see possible problems with incorrect injection technique, 8 photos)!
The choice of drug is also important so that you do not experience swelling several months after the procedure.
Examples of correction using fillers:
Read more about this method of correcting dark circles under the eyes in our separate article.
The cost of injection correction is from 19,000 rubles (depending on the volume and manufacturer of the drug). Typically, 1-2 ml of the drug is needed to correct circles and nasolacrimal grooves.
The procedure takes 15-20 minutes.
Anesthesia is not needed, since we work with a cannula, it does not hurt!
How to remove dark circles under the eyes using cosmetology?
Eliminating dark circles under the eyes in beauty salons is an effective method , but since there are different types of such procedures, it is important to choose the right method.
For your information! Depending on the cause of the bruises and their severity, experts advise using different approaches.
Fillers
Filler is a synthetic filler based on hyaluronic acid , which is injected into the under-eye area and stimulates the formation of healthy new cells, while simultaneously moisturizing the skin from the inside.
Thanks to this, you can get rid of many visual defects, including bruises.
The product dissolves after several months, so if the bruises are permanent, the procedure must be performed two to three times a year .
Such substances do not have a negative effect on the functioning of the facial muscles, and the procedure lasts no more than an hour and just one session is enough.
But the injection of fillers is not recommended if you are hypersensitive to pain , since injections (especially in the eye area) can be very painful.
Mesotherapy
Keep in mind! Mesotherapy is another type of injection, but unlike fillers, in this case a whole range of drugs is introduced, including:
- extracts of medicinal plants;
- collagen;
- organic acids;
- elastin.
This procedure helps not only eliminate bruises , but also resolve swelling and stimulate regenerative processes in cells.
The effect of the procedure becomes noticeable after about the third session, but may appear later.
It all depends on the individual characteristics of the skin, and in each case a specific composition is selected.

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.

Why is this happening?
Bags, bruises, and black circles under the eyes give the face a tired and middle-aged appearance. They are equally inherent in women and men .
The causes of problems around the eyes are different: age, lack of sleep, dry skin, improper care, concomitant diseases of the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, and endocrine system.
Even young age does not exclude the poor appearance of the area around the eyes. For some, circles under the eyes appear already in their 20s and 30s. This may be due to hereditary factors, dietary habits, and stress. If during the examination the doctor did not identify a disease that provokes the appearance of edema, you can engage in cosmetic correction.

What procedures definitely won’t help?
Advertising is everything to us, but don’t rush to loud headlines!
“Laser rejuvenation” is often mentioned as a life-saving way to remove dark circles.
Laser rejuvenation cannot improve the appearance of dark circles: the skin of the lower eyelid is already very thin and delicate, “burning” it with a laser is unnecessary!
But laser exposure to tone the skin can add density and is often used in the complex elimination of problems under the eyes.
RF lifting (RF-lifting) also does not help with dark circles.
Thread lifting (thread correction) - does not remove bruises and circles under the eyes.
Serums, masks and ointments. How can these products restore lost subcutaneous fat or eliminate pigmented skin cells?
Blapharoplasty - from 65,000 rubles.
A surgical correction method that helps remove bags under the eyes, but does not save you from dark circles!

How to care for your skin after salon treatments?
When eliminating bruises, it is not enough to simply complete a course of cosmetic procedures .
The duration of their effect largely depends on how the person subsequently takes care of the skin .
You can avoid recurrence of bruising and prolong the effect of cosmetic procedures by following the following recommendations:
- It is important to maintain a sleep schedule and try to avoid lack of sleep, which negatively affects the condition of the facial skin.
- For makeup, you must use only high-quality cosmetics.
- Maintaining a drinking regime (at least two liters of water per day) will help maintain the required level of moisture in the body, and the skin under the eyes will be in good tone and the likelihood of hematomas will be significantly reduced.
- If it is necessary to use moisturizing and nourishing creams, you should trust advertising or the advice of other people, but the recommendations of dermatologists and cosmetologists .
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.
Causes of dark circles under the eyes

How is rehabilitation going?
To remove bruises and dark circles under the eyes, you do not need to endure a long and difficult period of rehabilitation. A person does not fall out of his usual life . Give your body a rest for one or two days and avoid applying makeup to the eye area.
Side effects
Since the skin of the eyelids is very delicate , injections can cause swelling in this area. Hematomas occur when a needle enters a vessel. In persons prone to allergic reactions, itching, redness, and swelling may occur after administration of the drug. For treatment, take antihistamines orally and ointments based on glucocorticoids around the eyes.
Recommendations before the procedure
If you have recently had laser procedures or chemical peeling, you need to wait at least 3 weeks before affecting the eye area. Stop aspirin and other drugs that cause bruising.
Recommendations after the procedure
After the session , you should avoid exposure to sunlight, aggressive cleaning, high temperature and humidity. There is no need to touch the skin of the eyelids with your hands until the injection marks have completely healed. Procedures that lead to vasodilation can reduce the effect of the administration of drugs, so for some time you can do without a bath or massage.
