Can photorejuvenation remove dark circles under the eyes?

In general, photorejuvenation can effectively remove dark circles under the eyes. Photorejuvenation utilizes intense pulsed light of specific wavelengths that directly targets deep skin tissues. The light energy penetrates the epidermis and acts upon areas with pigmentation and dilated blood vessels. By breaking down melanin granules, stimulating collagen production, and improving local blood circulation, photorejuvenation can effectively reduce the symptoms of dark circles.

Regarding the treatment of dark circles, the effectiveness of photorejuvenation depends on the type of dark circles. Dark circles can generally be categorized into three types: pigmented, vascular, and structural. For pigmented dark circles, photorejuvenation can effectively reduce localized pigmentation through selective absorption of light by the pigment, thereby improving the appearance of dark circles. However, for vascular and structural dark circles, the direct effects of photorejuvenation may be relatively limited. Although photorejuvenation's thermal effect can cause blood vessels to constrict, reducing the discoloration associated with vascular dark circles, its effect is usually not as noticeable as that achieved with specialized vascular treatments. Structural dark circles, on the other hand, often require correction through dermal fillers, eyelid surgery, or other surgical procedures.

It is recommended to choose a reputable medical aesthetics clinic for photorejuvenation treatment and to follow the guidance of qualified physicians. Proper pre- and post-treatment skincare for the eye area is essential to avoid excessive irritation or injury. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and avoiding late nights will help sustain the treatment results.
