How to remove dark circles under the eyes
Dark circles under the eyes are a problem for many of us – whether they are a result of fatigue, genetics or skin aging. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we know that a radiant look starts with healthy and well-treated skin. We will show you how to deal with dark circles under the eyes – from home care to lifestyle changes to professional procedures that we offer in our clinic. Discover how you can regain the fresh and youthful look you deserve.
Why do dark circles appear
Dark circles are not just a cosmetic problem – they often reflect a combination of factors that affect not only your skin condition, but also your overall health and lifestyle. The most common causes include:
- Fatigue and lack of sleep: Lack of quality rest causes blood vessels under the eyes to dilate, creating dark shadows and a tired appearance.
- Genetics: Thin skin around the eyes or natural hyperpigmentation can be hereditary, making dark circles more visible regardless of lifestyle.
- Skin aging: As we age, the skin around the eyes loses collagen, elasticity and subcutaneous fat, making the circles deeper and the skin appear saggy.
- Dehydration: Lack of fluids weakens the skin’s hydration, making it look tired, dull and dark circles more pronounced.
- Lifestyle: Factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, a salty diet, or lack of exercise can lead to puffiness, water retention, and a dull appearance around the eyes.
- Allergies and irritation: Seasonal allergies or improper makeup removal can irritate the delicate skin around the eyes, worsening pigmentation and puffiness.
At Hello Beauty Clinic, we approach each client with individual care because understanding the specific cause is a crucial first step to an effective solution. Whether you’re dealing with temporary shadows caused by a busy week or a long-term problem caused by genetics, our skincare offers a comprehensive approach – from home remedies to advanced treatments – to help you achieve a fresh, youthful appearance that reflects your inner health.
Home Care - How to reduce dark circles without going to the clinic
If you’re looking for easy ways to start fighting dark circles from the comfort of your own home, there are proven methods that can bring visible relief and improve the appearance of your eye area to give you a fresher look. While these tips may not completely address underlying causes such as genetic predisposition or aging, they are a great first step towards a fresher look. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we believe that combining home care with thoughtful lifestyle changes can be the foundation for healthy skin, which is why we bring you comprehensive advice on how to support beauty from the inside and out.
Start by hydrating – drinking 2-3 liters of water a day is essential to keeping your skin plump, supple and resilient. Dehydrated skin often looks dull and accentuates dark circles, which can be easily eliminated by drinking enough fluids, ideally supplemented with unsweetened herbal teas. Another simple trick is to use cold compresses – place cold spoons, chilled gel masks or slices of fresh cucumber on your eyes for 10-15 minutes. The cold not only constricts blood vessels, reducing dark circles, but also reduces swelling and soothes irritated skin, which you will appreciate especially after a busy day.
Don’t neglect quality sleep either – get 7-8 hours of rest in a well-ventilated room, preferably with your head on a slightly elevated pillow, which helps prevent fluid from accumulating under your eyes during the night. Proper sleep hygiene, such as limiting screen time before bed, can significantly improve the appearance of your skin. Eye creams also play an important role – choose products with active ingredients such as caffeine to promote blood circulation, retinol for cell renewal, hyaluronic acid for intense hydration or vitamin C to help lighten pigmentation and brighten the eye area. For example, a peptide cream can also strengthen thin skin and minimize fine lines.
Home care can be further enhanced by small lifestyle changes that have a surprisingly big impact on the appearance of the eye area. Start with a diet rich in antioxidants – include fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, spinach, carrots or red peppers in your diet, which contain vitamins C and E to protect the skin from oxidative stress. Foods with vitamin K, such as broccoli or kale, strengthen blood vessels and can reduce the appearance of dark circles. It is equally important to limit your salt intake – excessive consumption of salty foods retains water in the body, which worsens puffiness under the eyes. Replace salty snacks with healthier alternatives such as unsalted nuts or seeds and watch the difference.
Another key step is sun protection – UV rays not only accelerate skin aging, but also increase pigmentation, which can make dark circles more visible. Use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, even on the delicate skin around your eyes, and wear sunglasses with UV protection for extra protection. Don’t forget to exercise regularly – whether it’s walking, yoga or light cardio, exercise improves blood circulation and the lymphatic system, which helps reduce the visibility of blood vessels under thin skin and contributes to an overall fresher appearance.
These steps are accessible and effective, but their results depend on regularity and patience. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we recommend combining home care with our professional treatment, which includes advanced procedures that target the deeper causes of under-eye circles. If you’re looking for faster and more lasting results, visit us – our aesthetic medicine offers solutions that will harmoniously complement your lifestyle and help you achieve a radiant look without compromise.
Professional Procedures - How to Remove Under-Eye Circles Effectively
When home care does not bring the desired results in the fight against under-eye circles, it is time to entrust yourself to the hands of professionals. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we offer a cutting-edge solution in the form of hyaluronic acid fillers - a non-invasive method that effectively targets hollows and shadows under the eyes to give your look a fresh and youthful appearance. This procedure is ideal for those who want fast, safe and long-lasting results without the need for surgery.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are designed to solve the problem of loss of volume in the under-eye area, often referred to as tear troughs. Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our skin, is applied through fine injections that fill in hollows, eliminate dark shadows and give the skin fullness and smoothness. The result is immediate – the skin looks rejuvenated, fresh and without a tired look – and thanks to quality products such as Restylane or Juvederm, the effect lasts up to 12-18 months. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we emphasize precision and safety, which is why each hyaluronic acid filler procedure begins with a detailed consultation with our specialist, who will assess the condition of your skin and propose a tailor-made approach.
The procedure itself is quick – usually takes 15-30 minutes – and thanks to the use of local anesthetic, it is practically painless, with minimal side effects, such as slight redness or swelling, which disappear within a few days. Our specialists at Hello Beauty Clinic pay attention to a natural look, so that the result does not look artificial, but harmoniously complements your features. After the procedure, we will provide you with clear instructions for home care – for example, avoiding intense sun or heavy creams for 24 hours – so that you can enjoy long-term benefits, such as hydrated and firmer skin. In addition to reducing dark circles under the eyes, fillers can also reduce wrinkles in this area, contributing to an overall rejuvenated appearance.
At Hello Beauty Clinic, we combine the latest technology with an individual approach to ensure results that often exceed your expectations. Our aesthetic medicine is based on the use of certified materials and the many years of experience of our experts, thanks to which you can rely on safety and quality. If you want to quickly and effectively remove dark circles under the eyes and restore freshness to your face, hyaluronic acid fillers are the ideal choice.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
If you have tried non-invasive methods such as hyaluronic acid fillers and are looking for a more permanent solution to dark circles, sagging skin or unsightly bags, lower eyelid surgery may be the right step for you. We offer a surgical procedure that effectively removes excess skin and fat prolapses under the eyes, restoring a youthful and rested appearance to the face. This procedure is ideal for those who want to rejuvenate the eye area in the long term and get rid of a tired look.
Lower eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical solution that targets both aesthetic and functional problems. As you age, wrinkles and bags appear around the eyes, which can make you look older or more tired than you feel. At Hello Beauty Clinic, this procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon who removes sagging skin and any fat bags under the eyes to restore smoothness and firmness to the area. The result is a total facial rejuvenation that highlights your natural beauty. The procedure can be performed alone or in combination with upper eyelid surgery for an even more pronounced effect.
Each procedure begins with a thorough consultation with our plastic surgeon, who will assess the condition of your skin and eye area and check whether you are a suitable candidate for lower eyelid blepharoplasty. During the consultation, you have the opportunity to share your expectations and ask anything that interests you - from the course of the surgery to recovery. We recommend that you come prepared with questions so that you can get the most information and make a decision with confidence. The surgery itself is usually performed under local anesthesia, which eliminates the need for extensive preoperative examinations. If general anesthesia is planned, we will provide the necessary examinations and it is necessary to come fasting before the surgery. For optimal healing, we recommend that you limit smoking before the procedure and adjust the use of blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, to reduce the risk of hematomas.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure, meaning you do not need to stay in the hospital after the surgery. The surgeon will make a small incision along the edge of the lower eyelid or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach) to minimize visible scars. After removing excess skin and fat, the area is sutured with fine stitches that are removed after 5-7 days during a check-up at the clinic. The surgery takes approximately 1-2 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. After the procedure, you can expect mild swelling and bruising, which will subside within 1-2 weeks. To reduce this, we recommend icing the area around the eyes for the first 3 days - we carefully apply cold packs over a scarf for 10-15 minutes every 90 minutes.
Recovery after lower eyelid plasty is usually smooth and without significant pain - any discomfort can be managed with common analgesics. We recommend a rest regime for the first week: sleep on your back with your head elevated, limit reading, watching screens and physical exertion. Light walks are suitable, but postpone sports and strenuous activities for 2 weeks after the procedure. Protect your eyes from the sun to prevent pigment changes. The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting and bring not only aesthetic rejuvenation, but often also functional improvement, for example, a reduction in the feeling of pressure in the eye area. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we pride ourselves on precise care and a professional approach, thanks to which our clients leave with results that exceed their expectations.
Our clinic in Pilsen combines cutting-edge technologies with individual care so that each procedure in the field of aesthetic medicine takes place in a safe and pleasant environment. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is proof that even a small intervention can bring a big change - whether it is the removal of under-eye circles, bags or wrinkles. If you want to bring back the sparkle to your look and get rid of that tired look once and for all, write to us and arrange a consultation. Your journey to a fresh look starts right here.
How Makeup Can Help Cover Under-Eye Circles
Even if you’re looking for a long-term solution to your under-eye circles through professional treatments, the right makeup can act as an instant fix to temporarily cover up dark circles and give your face a fresh look. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we focus on aesthetic solutions, but we’re happy to give you practical tips on how you can help your makeup cover up your circles while you wait for the full results of our treatments. These simple techniques will help you enhance your natural beauty and feel confident in any situation.
Start with concealer – choose a shade that’s one to two shades lighter than your natural skin tone to effectively cover up dark circles. Peachy or warm yellow undertones work best to neutralize blue or purple under-eye circles. Apply concealer in a thin layer, ideally in an inverted triangle shape under the eye, moving up towards the cheeks – this technique will not only cover up the circles, but also brighten the entire face. For a smoother base, we recommend using a primer to fill in minor imperfections and ensure that your makeup lasts longer, whether it’s a busy workday or an evening event.
The next step is highlighter – apply a thin layer of shimmery foundation to the inner corners of your eyes, under your brow bone and, if necessary, on the upper part of your cheekbones. This trick will visually open up your eyes and give your skin a healthy, rested look that looks natural. To complete the look, use a transparent setting powder to set your makeup and prevent it from smudging or settling into fine lines around your eyes. For the best effect, apply your makeup with a slightly damp sponge or brush, which will ensure even distribution and minimize the visibility of the product on your skin.
At Hello Beauty Clinic, we are happy to advise you on how to incorporate these techniques into your daily routine to complement our advanced aesthetic medicine procedures. Although we specialize in procedures such as hyaluronic acid fillers or BTX applications, we understand that a temporary solution with makeup can be a valuable helper. During a consultation with our experts, you will learn not only about the best methods for covering under-eye circles, but also how our services – such as hyaluronic acid bioremodeling or lower eyelid plastic surgery – can permanently improve the quality of your skin. In this way, we combine aesthetic treatments with practical tips to achieve a harmonious and long-lasting result that emphasizes your natural charm.
Prevention - How to prevent dark circles under the eyes
Prevention is always better than cure, which is why at Hello Beauty Clinic we emphasize simple but effective steps that help minimize the risk of dark circles under the eyes and keep the skin around the eyes fresh and healthy. By incorporating these habits into your daily life, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of dark circles or puffiness, without complex interventions. Below are some recommendations that combine skin care with overall well-being:
- Regular skin care - Invest in quality moisturizers and serums with active ingredients such as peptides or ceramides, which strengthen and protect the delicate skin around the eyes. Regular use of these products helps keep the skin supple and resistant to signs of fatigue or aging.
- Get enough sleep - Create a solid sleep routine that ensures 7-8 hours of quality rest. Limit your exposure to blue light from screens – such as phones and tablets – at least an hour before bed, and consider using relaxation aids such as an eye mask to help you sleep better.
- Healthy drinking regimen - Drink plenty of water – ideally 2-3 liters per day – to keep your skin hydrated and full of vitality. Also include herbal teas, such as nettle or chamomile, which support detoxification of the body and help remove excess fluids, thereby reducing the risk of swelling.
- Stress management - Chronic stress can worsen the appearance of the skin and contribute to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Regular activities such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing or peaceful walks in nature help release tension and promote overall balance of body and mind.
Long-term prevention is the best foundation for a consistently fresh appearance, and when combined with professional treatments at Hello Beauty Clinic, you will achieve results that last. Our skincare includes not only aesthetic treatments, but also expert advice on how to keep your skin in optimal condition. Whether you opt for a home routine or visit our clinic in Pilsen for advanced procedures, we will help you find a balance between beauty and overall well-being, so that your eyes shine with health and vitality.
