Understanding Dark Eye Circles
Dark eye circles are one of the most common aesthetic concerns in Singapore. They create a tired, aged appearance—even if you are well-rested. For many patients, dark circles are resistant to home remedies, eye creams, or lifestyle changes.
At NUEVA Clinic, we specialise in identifying the underlying cause of your dark eye circles and tailoring effective treatments to restore a fresher, brighter look.
Causes of Dark Eye Circles
Dark eye circles are often due to a combination of factors, such as:
Genetics – Some individuals naturally have thinner under-eye skin, making blood vessels more visible.
Pigmentation – Increased melanin around the eyes can cause brownish shadows.
Volume loss – As we age, loss of collagen and fat creates hollows (tear troughs), deepening shadows.
Vascular congestion – Poor circulation can make blood vessels more prominent, giving a bluish tone.
Lifestyle factors – Stress, lack of sleep, allergies, or frequent eye rubbing may worsen the appearance.
Because there are different causes, a professional diagnosis is crucial before choosing the right treatment.
Types of Dark Eye Circles
Understanding the type of dark eye circles you have helps us select the most suitable approach:
Pigmented dark circles: Brownish discolouration due to melanin.
Vascular dark circles: Blue or purple tones from visible blood vessels.
Structural dark circles: Caused by hollows or tear troughs casting shadows.
Mixed dark circles: A combination of the above, which is very common.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Dark eye circles can be due to genetics, pigmentation, blood vessel visibility, or structural hollows under the eyes. Lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep, stress, and frequent eye rubbing may also worsen their appearance. At NUEVA Clinic, we perform a detailed assessment to determine the exact cause before recommending treatment.
Over-the-counter eye creams may help improve hydration and mild pigmentation, but they usually cannot address deeper causes such as volume loss or prominent blood vessels. For longer-lasting results, professional treatments like lasers, fillers, and regenerative skin boosters are often needed.
There is no single “best” treatment because dark eye circles have different causes. Options may include:
Laser treatments for pigmentation
Fillers for tear trough hollows
Skin boosters for improved hydration and texture
Collagen stimulation for long-term skin strengthening
Our doctor at Nueva Clinic will customise the treatment based on your specific needs.
Most treatments are very well-tolerated. Numbing cream or local anaesthetic can be used to maximise comfort. Patients usually describe the sensation as mild and manageable.
This depends on the severity and underlying cause of your dark circles. Pigmentation may require several laser sessions, while fillers or skin boosters often show results more quickly. During your consultation, we will provide a personalised treatment plan and timeline.
Some treatments, such as fillers, provide instant improvement, while others like lasers and skin boosters show gradual brightening over weeks to months. Consistency and aftercare are key to achieving the best results.
Dark eye circle treatments can offer long-lasting improvement, but maintenance is often needed. Ageing, lifestyle habits, and sun exposure can cause dark circles to return. Regular touch-ups and good skincare will help prolong results.
Most patients experience minimal to no downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur depending on the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few days, allowing you to return to work or social activities quickly.
The cost varies depending on the treatment type, number of sessions, and severity of the condition. At Nueva Clinic, we believe in transparent, customised pricing, which will be discussed after your consultation and assessment.
At NUEVA Clinic, we take a comprehensive, tailored approach—identifying the root cause, selecting the most effective treatment, and using advanced medical technologies for safe, natural-looking results. Our goal is to help you look refreshed, confident, and youthful, without compromising comfort or safety.
