Introduction
In general, melanin deposition under the eyes may be related to factors such as genetics, ultraviolet radiation, lack of sleep, improper use of cosmetics, and endocrine disorders. Treatments such as glycolic acid peels, gold microneedling, Thermage, photorejuvenation, and picosecond laser can help remove melanin deposition. The specific results vary from person to person; it is recommended to consult a professional doctor before choosing an appropriate method.

Utilizes radiofrequency-induced mechanical stimulation to enhance skin metabolism and expel melanin from the body |
Delivers high-energy, high-frequency waves into the dermal layer to disperse surface melanin |
Uses broadband light to target and destroy pigment particles in deeper skin layers |
Applies high-energy pulses to break down melanin particles in the skin |
