Dark under-eye circles—medically referred to as periorbital hyperpigmentation—are a common condition in that the skin just beneath the eyes looks darker than the nearby facial area. These circles appear for numerous reasons, including aging, sun damage, insufficient sleep, stress, heredity or specific medical conditions like allergies or kidney disorders.
Many patients choose treatment because they can project an impression of exhaustion, poor health or aging.
Darker under-eye circles are not a medical concern, but we understand that you may want to lighten their appearance for cosmetic reasons. We’re here to help!
