Microneedling for pigmented dark circles

Pigmented dark circles are often caused by excess melanin production, leading to a darker appearance under the eyes. Microneedling for pigmented dark circles helps to break up the pigmentation by encouraging the skin’s natural renewal process. The treatment stimulates collagen production, gradually lightening the pigmented areas, leading to a more even skin tone and a brighter under-eye area.

Microneedling for vascular dark circles

Vascular dark circles are caused by visible blood vessels under the thin skin around the eyes, often resulting in a bluish or purple hue. Microneedling for vascular dark circles improves blood circulation and strengthens the delicate skin in this area. By promoting collagen and elastin production, the skin becomes firmer and less translucent, reducing the visibility of underlying blood vessels and restoring a refreshed appearance.

Microneedling for structural dark circles

Structural dark circles occur due to a hollow or sunken appearance around the eyes, often caused by the natural loss of fat and volume. Microneedling for structural dark circles stimulates collagen to firm and plump the under-eye area, softening the hollow look. Over time, this treatment can help create a more youthful and lifted appearance by restoring lost volume and improving skin elasticity.

Microneedling that targets dark circles

Microneedling helps reduce the appearance of dark circles by stimulating collagen production and improving blood circulation in the delicate under-eye area. This treatment enhances skin texture and firmness, leading to a more refreshed and youthful look.

Before and after microneedling dark circles

Microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of dark circles, helping you achieve a brighter and more youthful under-eye area.

  • Reduction in the appearance of dark circles and pigmentation
  • Smoother, firmer skin around the under-eye area
  • Improved skin texture and tone

The skin’s collagen production increases with each treatment, leading to long-term improvements in under-eye bags, puffiness and discolouration. Consistent treatments provide lasting results for a refreshed look.

How does microneedling treat dark circles?

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This boosts collagen production and improves blood flow around the under-eye area, helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles and improve skin texture. The treatment also encourages the regeneration of new skin cells, brightening the under-eye region.

As the skin heals, it becomes firmer and smoother, reducing the hollow and sunken look that often accompanies dark circles. Over time, microneedling helps restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the delicate under-eye skin.

How It Works

Who is microneedling suitable for?

Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of dark circles and improve the overall texture of their under-eye area. It’s ideal for those with thin or delicate skin who have not seen results from topical treatments like eye creams. Microneedling helps boost collagen production, which diminishes the appearance of pigmentation and smooths fine lines around the eyes.

This treatment is safe for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin, and can be customised to target the unique concerns of the under-eye area. However, a consultation with a skincare professional is recommended to ensure it’s the right option for your specific skin condition.

Who It’s For

How to prepare for your dark circle microneedling treatment?

In the days leading up to your microneedling treatment, avoid sun exposure and discontinue using any harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, that could irritate the sensitive under-eye area. Keeping your skin hydrated and following any specific guidelines provided by your skincare specialist will help ensure the best results.

On the day of the treatment, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, especially around the eyes. Your specialist may apply a numbing cream to minimise discomfort during the procedure. Proper preparation ensures a smooth, effective treatment with minimal irritation.

Preparation

What to expect at your microneedling treatment?

On the day of your microneedling session for dark circles, your specialist will cleanse the under-eye area and apply a numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable. The microneedling device, featuring fine needles, will be carefully passed over the skin under your eyes, creating tiny punctures. These micro-injuries help stimulate collagen production and enhance circulation, targeting the appearance of dark circles.

The procedure usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treated area. After the treatment, you might experience some redness or mild swelling under the eyes, which should fade within a few days. Your specialist will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help promote healing and maximise the results.

On The Day

Caring for your skin after dark circle microneedling

After your microneedling treatment for dark circles, treating the under-eye area with care is essential. Avoid direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the healing skin. For the first 48 hours, refrain from using makeup or applying any harsh products around the eyes. Keeping the area hydrated with a soothing eye cream will help reduce any post-treatment redness or puffiness.

Mild redness or swelling is normal and should fade within a few days. Follow any specific aftercare advice from your skin care specialist, including using targeted serums or gentle products to support the skin's recovery and enhance the treatment’s results. Proper aftercare ensures your under-eye area heals smoothly and benefits from the collagen production boost.

Our other skin needling treatments

We offer a variety of skin-needling treatments that target specific skin concerns and help enhance overall skin health and appearance.

Face needling

Full-face microneedling can treat various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, scars, and stretch marks. You may also use skin needling treatments to target problem areas such as the nasolabial fold (the lines stretching from the corners of your mouth to your nose).

Skin needling procedures are minimally invasive and typically have little downtime. They are also perfectly safe to use on sensitive skin areas like the face.

Skin needling for your lips

Lips are often one of the first places where wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss begin to show.

Skin needling can be an effective treatment for lips, helping to reduce the appearance of these concerns and restore a more youthful look. By triggering the natural healing process in your skin, you can plump up your lips naturally.

Skin needling for your neck

The ageing process, sun damage and lifestyle factors can all lead to skin concerns on the neck, such as wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots.

Skin needling triggers the body's wound-healing response, producing new collagen and elastin. This can help to tighten sagging skin, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the neck.

Skin needling for your decolletage

Improving the look and feel of the delicate skin in the decolletage, or chest area, is a common goal among both men and women.

Though we also offer chemical peel and laser treatments for these areas, our clients often prefer microneedling due to its minimal downtime and impressive results.
