At Harley Street Medics, we offer advanced dark circle treatments in London to target under-eye pigmentation, volume loss, and tired-looking eyes. Whether caused by genetics, lifestyle, or ageing, our personalised approach helps you look brighter, rested, and naturally refreshed.
Dark circles under the eyes are one of the most common aesthetic concerns we see at Harley Street Medics. They can appear as brown, purple, blue, or even reddish tones beneath the lower eyelid — often making the face look tired, aged, or stressed, even when you feel well-rested.
These shadows are not always caused by lack of sleep. In fact, dark circles often result from a combination of factors including genetics, thin skin, volume loss (tear trough hollowness), pigmentation, poor circulation, or lifestyle habits like smoking, stress, or dehydration. Some people may also notice more prominent under-eye circles as they age due to reduced collagen and fat padding in the area.
The best way to get rid of dark circles is to first identify what’s causing them — whether it’s volume loss, pigmentation, thin skin, or lifestyle factors. For hollow under-eyes, tear trough filler is often the most effective solution, instantly restoring lost volume and softening shadows. If pigmentation is the main issue, treatments like mesotherapy, skin peels, or laser can help lighten the area and even out tone. We may also recommend skincare with ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or caffeine to support long-term improvement.
At Harley Street Medics in London, we take a personalised, medically led approach to treating dark circles — focusing on the cause, not just the symptom. Whether your concern is pigmentation, hollowness, or general tiredness around the eyes, we tailor the treatment plan to suit your unique skin type, anatomy, and lifestyle.
Your journey starts with a detailed consultation, where our practitioner assesses the under-eye area for volume loss, pigmentation, vascular visibility, or structural changes. We’ll also review your medical history, lifestyle, and skincare to fully understand contributing factors.
Depending on your concern, we may recommend one or a combination of the following:
Each plan is bespoke — focused on natural results and long-term improvement.
Most dark circle treatments are non-surgical and take under 30 minutes. Tear trough fillers are performed using a cannula for safety and precision, while pigmentation-focused treatments are applied topically or via microinjections. Minimal discomfort and no general anaesthetic are required.
You may experience mild swelling or redness for 24–48 hours, especially after fillers or mesotherapy. Aftercare instructions will be given based on the treatment used. Most patients return to their day immediately, with full results developing over a few days to 2 weeks depending on the method.
At Harley Street Medics, we offer clinically proven treatments designed to target the different causes of dark circles — whether it’s pigmentation, hollowness, or general tiredness around the eyes. Each option is selected based on a personalised assessment to deliver safe, natural-looking results.
This is the most effective treatment for under-eye hollowness and shadowing caused by volume loss. Using a smooth hyaluronic acid filler, we gently restore volume beneath the eyes to reduce depth, smooth transitions, and instantly refresh tired-looking eyes. Results are visible immediately and last up to 12 months.
Ideal for treating pigmentation, poor circulation, and dullness, mesotherapy involves microinjections of vitamins, amino acids, and skin-brightening agents directly into the under-eye area. This stimulates microcirculation, improves skin tone, and boosts collagen — making it especially suitable for darker skin types and those with pigmentation-prone circles.
Gentle chemical peels using ingredients like mandelic or lactic acid can help exfoliate the under-eye area, fade pigmentation, and improve skin texture. These peels are carefully formulated for the delicate skin under the eyes and are ideal for patients with superficial discolouration.
We may recommend prescription or clinical-strength under-eye products as part of your ongoing routine. These include creams with ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, or kojic acid to gradually lighten pigmentation and support collagen production. Skincare plays an essential role in maintaining treatment results.
