Your gaze says a lot about you, which is why under-eye circles can affect a person's self-confidence — but there are treatment options available to reduce them and improve the tired, aged appearance, restoring self-esteem and a rejuvenated look.

Before defining the treatment, it is important to identify the type of under-eye circle, since each has a different cause and response:

Pigmented under-eye circles have a brownish tone, caused by excess melanin in the area — they may be genetic, from sun exposure, or residual from inflammatory processes such as rhinitis. They respond well to specific depigmenting agents, peels, and laser/pulsed light.

Vascular under-eye circles have a purplish or bluish appearance, caused by excess blood vessels visible through the thin skin of the area — they worsen with fatigue and cold. They are treated with laser or pulsed light, which make the vessels less visible, along with techniques that improve local circulation, such as carboxytherapy.

Structural under-eye circles have a "hollow" appearance, from the groove that forms between the lower eyelid and the cheek, changing appearance depending on the light. They are treated with hyaluronic acid filler, which minimizes the unevenness of the area.

Many patients have mixed under-eye circles — a combination of more than one type — which requires a combined approach. That is why the ideal protocol is always defined from a personalized consultation, which identifies the type(s) of under-eye circle and directs the most effective combination of techniques for your case. Among the techniques we use are:

• Under-eye filler with hyaluronic acid
• Laser for under-eye circle treatment
• Carboxytherapy
• And other personalized procedures
