Does dark circle laser treatment rebound?

In general, laser treatment for dark circles refers to using laser therapy to remove dark circles by employing specific wavelengths of laser light that penetrate the skin, targeting and breaking down the melanin in the affected areas to lighten pigmentation and achieve the desired result. The typical reference price for laser removal of dark circles ranges from 2,000 to 12,000 yuan per session. Improvement is usually noticeable within 1–2 weeks after the procedure, although side effects such as stinging or burning may occur. Whether dark circles reappear after treatment primarily depends on postoperative care. If patients strictly follow their doctor's post-treatment instructions, recurrence is unlikely; however, failure to adhere to these recommendations may lead to a relapse. In case of discomfort, prompt medical consultation is advised. Detailed explanations are as follows:

When patients strictly follow the doctor’s postoperative care instructions—such as avoiding ultraviolet exposure, minimizing eye-area friction, and maintaining sufficient sleep—these measures help promote skin recovery and stability, thereby reducing the likelihood of recurrence.

If patients do not follow the recommended postoperative care—for example, prolonged sun exposure, frequent eye rubbing, or staying up late—such unhealthy behaviors may irritate the delicate skin around the eyes, stimulate melanin production, and cause dark circles to reappear.

If needed, it is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure both effectiveness and safety. After the procedure, it is essential to strictly follow the doctor’s care instructions, protect the skin around the eyes, and avoid negative lifestyle habits to ensure effective resolution of dark circles and minimize the risk of recurrence.
