How to Treat Under-Eye Dark Circles Without Fillers
Dermatologist-approved treatments for a brighter, fresher look — without injections.
What Causes Under-Eye Dark Circles
Dark circles can be caused by multiple overlapping factors, including:
- Genetics – Naturally thin skin or deep tear troughs
- Lack of Sleep – Blood vessels show more clearly
- Hyperpigmentation – Very common in Indian skin types
- Sun Damage – Worsens darkening under the eyes
- Allergies or Eye Rubbing
- Dehydration or Poor Diet

Hydrates & plumps
Apply using your ring finger with a tapping motion. Never rub!
? In-Clinic Treatments (No Fillers Required)
Depending on the cause of your dark circles, dermatologists may recommend:
- Chemical Peels: Light peels designed for under-eye pigmentation
- Q-Switched Laser: Fades melanin & evens out tone
- PRP Therapy: Uses your own plasma to rejuvenate the area
- Microneedling: Boosts collagen, reduces shadowing
- Radiofrequency (RF): Tightens and firms loose skin
Lifestyle Changes That Help
- Get 7–8 hours of quality sleep
- Drink at least 2–3 liters of water per day
- Apply SPF daily — even under your eyes
- Eat foods rich in iron, Vitamin C, and antioxidants
- Limit screen time or use blue-light filters
When to See a Dermatologist
If your dark circles:
- Don’t respond to over-the-counter products
- Are caused by pigmentation or vascular issues
- Are affecting your self-esteem
A dermatologist can evaluate whether your dark circles are due to pigmentation, volume loss, or skin laxity — and create a treatment plan tailored to your skin type.
