Under-Eye Dark Circles Mesotherapy in Denizli

The area around the eyes has the thinnest skin on the face, and the effects of time show here first. As the skin dries and loses elasticity it becomes thinner, so the blood vessels and shadows beneath it are easier to see. Some of the darkness under the eyes comes from this thinning, and some from the colour of the skin itself or the structure of the face.

What Causes Dark Circles Under the Eyes?

There is no single cause; the factors that contribute to darkness include:

• Genetic tendency, with dark circles also present in the family
• Widened blood vessels around the eyes that show through the thin skin
• An allergic tendency and the habit of rubbing the eyes
• Poor circulation, stress, too little sleep and exhaustion
• Smoking and substance use
• Dryness, thinning and loss of elasticity that increase with age

How Does the Type of Darkness Decide the Treatment?

Darkness under the eyes can appear in three different forms, and each responds to something different:

• Brown darkness: an increase in skin pigment. Here pigmentation treatment methods come first.
• Blue or purple darkness: blood vessels showing through thin skin. Mesotherapy that supports the moisture and vitality of the skin can help with this type.
• Shadow: a hollow under the eye blocking the light. For shadow caused by volume loss, under-eye filler may be a more suitable option.

These types can also occur together in the same person. That is why the plan is sometimes made with a single method and sometimes with a combination.

Why Does Eye-Area Mesotherapy Need a Special Mixture?

Mixtures used elsewhere on the face may not suit the thin, sensitive skin around the eyes; they can cause swelling and irritation. In mesotherapy around the eyes, we choose ingredients that suit the structure of this area and that hydrate and support the skin. Treatment is more superficial than facial mesotherapy and uses fewer injection points.

How Is Under-Eye Mesotherapy Done?

1. Eye make-up is removed and the area is cleaned.
2. A numbing cream is applied and left for a while.
3. Using a very fine needle, small amounts are placed in the skin along the lower eyelid and the outer corner of the eye.
4. The area is cleaned; you can return to your daily routine.

We decide the number of sessions and their spacing according to how marked the darkness is and how you respond to the first sessions.

What Happens Around the Eyes After Treatment?

In the first hours there may be mild swelling and redness. Because the skin is thin, small bruises can form at the injection points; these fade within a few days. Sleeping with your head slightly raised on the first night helps the swelling go down sooner. On the day of treatment we advise you not to wear eye make-up and not to rub your eyes. If your vision becomes blurred or pain keeps increasing, contact us without delay; if you cannot reach us, go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital.

Who Should Not Have Under-Eye Mesotherapy?

• Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding
• People with active eczema, infection or a cold sore around the eyes
• People with a known allergy to the ingredients in the mixture

If you have recently had eye surgery, or filler around the eyes, mention this at the examination; it may change the timing of treatment.

Which Habits Make Under-Eye Darkness Worse?

Keeping the result depends on cutting down the habits that increase darkness. Regular, sufficient sleep, treating any allergy and not rubbing your eyes all matter. The sun increases pigment around the eyes; wear sunglasses and a sunscreen suitable for the eye area. Smoking speeds up the thinning and drying of the skin.

Dark Circles in Denizli: Assessing the Cause

At the examination we look at the area under your eyes in different lights and from different angles to identify the source of the darkness. If you have an allergic tendency or a sleep problem, we include its treatment as part of the plan. This assessment is where we decide whether mesotherapy is right for you and whether it should be combined with another method. To see Spec.
