Introduction
Laser treatment for dark circles generally uses laser energy of specific wavelengths to act on the periorbital skin, breaking down pigmentation and stimulating collagen regeneration, thereby improving dark circles. The general reference price for laser treatment for dark circles is 2000–6000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement can usually be seen after 1–3 months. If performed properly and with appropriate post-treatment care, laser treatment for dark circles typically has no side effects.

  Laser treatment for dark circles generally uses laser energy of specific wavelengths to act on the periorbital skin, decomposing pigmentation and stimulating collagen regeneration, thus improving dark circles. The general reference price for laser treatment for dark circles is 2000-6000 yuan per session, and certain improvements can generally be seen after 1-3 months. If the procedure is performed properly and appropriate post-treatment care is provided, laser treatment for dark circles typically has no side effects. However, if the operation is improperly performed or post-treatment care is inadequate, side effects may occur. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.

  If the laser treatment for dark circles is performed by a professional and experienced physician with proper handling during the procedure, there generally will be no side effects. At the same time, strictly following medical advice post-surgery and performing proper aftercare, such as keeping the eye area clean and dry, and taking sun protection measures, will usually prevent significant side effects. Laser treatment can safely and effectively improve dark circles and help restore the health of the periorbital skin.

  However, it should be noted that if the physician performing the laser treatment lacks experience or handles the procedure improperly, side effects may occur, leading to burns on the periorbital skin, redness and swelling, blisters, or even scarring. Inadequate post-operative care, such as failing to take proper sun protection measures, may result in pigmentation, worsening the dark circles. Contact with water too early or failure to maintain cleanliness around the eyes may lead to infection, affecting recovery and results.

  In daily life, it is recommended to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the eye area. Proper sun protection should be practiced, such as applying sunscreen and wearing a sun hat when going outdoors, which can aid in recovery.
