Causes

At GVSL we will assess your anatomy and define the causes of dark circles under the eyes, which can be caused by indentation of the tissue contour, pigmentation of the skin, prominent veins or all three. We have solutions to each type of issue.

Symptoms

  • Dark circles under the eyes
  • Indented linear or semi circular groove
  • People constantly commenting on how tired you look even when you are well rested
  • Brown, pink, purple discolouration under the eyes

Treatments

Treatment depends on the cause:

  • Deep furrows require re volumisation with injectables to the tear trough or adjoining cheek
  • Brown pigmentation requires skin lightening products or laser / light treatment
  • Prominent veins can be treated with skin thickening treatments or if abnormal the veins can be removed with injections or laser
FAQ
How do I know which treatment I would need?

Start with a free consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic nurses who will assess your face and discuss treatment options. This consultation often involves liaison with one of our onsite doctors.

Is the treatment permanent?

It depends on which treatment modality is required. This will be discussed at your initial consultation.

What is the aftercare / recovery like?

This again depends on the exact treatment, but some swelling or minor bruising may occur for a few days post treatment.

Is it risky to treat around the eyes?

Any medical procedure has potential risks and side effects. The delicate area around the eye is prone to bruising and care must be taken to avoid any complications with blood vessels. GVSL is a medical clinic with highly experienced and qualified nurses and doctors who have extensive knowledge of anatomy and potential complications, which reduces the risk of any unwanted side effects occurring.
