Dark Eye Circles Treatment Singapore
Dark Eye Circles Treatment Singapore
Dark circles under the eyes are one of the more nuanced concerns in aesthetic dermatology, because their appearance rarely has a single cause. Effective treatment depends on correctly identifying what is driving the darkness – and this varies considerably between patients.
Dark Eye Circle Treatments at Skincodes
Skincodes offers targeted treatments designed to address the different underlying causes of dark eye circles and under-eye ageing.
Vascular
A bluish or purplish discolouration caused by the visibility of blood vessels beneath the thin periorbital skin. This type is more pronounced with fatigue and in patients with naturally thin skin.
Pigmented
Brown or greyish tones resulting from melanin deposition in the periorbital skin, often exacerbated by sun exposure, post-inflammatory change, or genetic predisposition.
Structural
A shadow effect caused by volume loss in the tear trough area, creating a hollow that deepens as light falls across the lower eyelid. This type does not respond to treatments targeting pigment or vascularity.
Salmon DNA Eyes Treatment
A specialised periorbital treatment that supports hydration, skin quality, and microcirculation in the delicate under-eye area.
Tear Trough Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Carefully placed filler in the tear trough restores volume to the hollow beneath the eye, reducing the structural shadow effect. Requires precise technique given the sensitivity of the periorbital anatomy.
Chemical Peels
Targeted peels can help address pigmented dark circles by promoting cell turnover and gradually lightening discolouration.
Yellow light laser (585nm)
Addresses vascular dark circles by targeting haemoglobin within superficial vessels beneath the periorbital skin, reducing the bluish discolouration over a series of sessions.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
Improves periorbital skin quality, thickness, and firmness over time, reducing the visibility of underlying vasculature and improving overall appearance.
What to Expect at Skincodes
Dr Ang will assess the type and likely cause of your dark eye circles before recommending treatment. In many cases, a combination of approaches is most effective. Periorbital treatments require particular care and experience; Dr Ang will guide you through what to expect at each stage.
