Dark circles can be caused by pigmentation, thin skin that shows the blood vessels beneath, or a hollow tear trough that casts a shadow, and each needs a different approach. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor identifies the cause and may recommend an under-eye skin booster such as Juvelook i, tear trough filler or pigment lasers; recovery is usually short.

What causes dark circles?
Dark circles usually have one or more of three causes. Pigmented circles appear brown and are common in people with darker skin tones, after sun exposure or from rubbing the eyes. Vascular circles look blue or purple because the under-eye skin is thin and the blood vessels show through. Structural circles are shadows created by a hollow tear trough or under-eye bags, which often become more visible with age.
Lifestyle factors such as poor sleep, allergies and dehydration can make any type look worse. Because the cause decides the treatment, the doctor examines the area under good light before recommending a plan, and many people have more than one type at once.
Who is a good candidate for dark circle treatment?
- Brown pigmentation under the eyes
- Thin, crepey under-eye skin with visible veins
- A hollow tear trough that casts a shadow
- Tired-looking eyes despite good sleep
- People wanting a non-surgical option
Injectable treatments should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with infection or inflammation around the eyes, or if you have allergies to the product. Large under-eye bags caused by fat may not be fully corrected with injections, and the doctor will explain other options at consultation, such as fat repositioning where appropriate.

How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor examines your under-eye area to identify pigment, vascular or structural causes.
-
Numbing
Numbing cream is applied before injections or laser.
-
Treatment
The chosen booster, filler or laser is carried out with fine needles, cannula or a laser handpiece.
-
Aftercare
Mild swelling or bruising can last a few days. Avoid rubbing the eyes, saunas and alcohol for a couple of days.
Tips for international patients
- Allow a few days before photos or flights in case of bruising.
- Avoid blood-thinning supplements for several days before injections.
- Bring sunglasses; the under-eye area is sensitive to sun after treatment.
- Send a clear, well-lit photo on WhatsApp so the doctor can give an initial view.
Frequently asked questions
How are dark circles treated?
It depends on the cause. Pigmented circles often respond to lasers, thin skin to boosters such as Juvelook i, and hollows to tear trough fillers.
Can dark circles be removed permanently?
Dark circles can be improved, but results are not permanent, and factors such as ageing, sleep and genetics can bring them back over time.
Does dark circle treatment hurt?
Numbing cream is used, so most people feel only mild pricks or pressure.
What is the downtime after under-eye treatment?
Mild swelling or bruising may last a few days. Laser toning usually has little or no downtime.
What is Juvelook i?
Juvelook i is a skin booster designed for the delicate eye area that aims to improve thin, crepey under-eye skin by supporting collagen over time.
How much does dark circle treatment cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the cause and the treatment chosen, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See our Juvelook i price page for one common option.
