Dark circles and tired-looking eyes at Harley Street
Working out whether shadows, hollows, pigment or thin skin are behind tired-looking eyes.
What causes it
Dark circles can be caused by a hollow under the eye casting a shadow, pigmentation, thin skin showing blood vessels underneath, puffiness, or a mix. Genetics, ageing, allergies and sleep all play a part. The right treatment depends on the cause.
How I can help
- An assessment of what is causing your dark circles, as treatments differ for each cause.
- A personalised skincare plan for the delicate eye area, including sun protection.
- In-clinic options where suitable, such as polynucleotides for thin, crepey under-eye skin, or tear trough treatment for hollows.
What to expect
Some causes, such as genetic pigmentation or puffiness, respond less well to treatment. I'll be honest about what is likely to help.
Puffiness that is new, one-sided or comes with other symptoms should be checked by your GP.
Your plan uses skincare from Obagi, Skinbetter Science and Epicutis, chosen for your skin, with in-clinic treatment where it helps. Everything is explained, including costs, before you decide.
