Dark circles—those stubborn shadows under the eyes—can make us look tired, older, and less vibrant, even when we feel our best. At DermAttract, we understand how frustrating they can be. Whether caused by genetics, lifestyle habits, or ageing, the good news is that effective solutions are available. From simple daily changes to advanced injectable treatments like Sunekos and Polynucleotides, there’s a pathway to brighter, more refreshed eyes.
What Causes Dark Circles?
Before we talk about solutions, it's important to understand the causes:
Genetics: If your parents had under-eye darkness, you're more likely to develop it too.
Lack of Sleep: This classic culprit leads to poor circulation and visible blood vessels under thin skin.
Dehydration: Without adequate hydration, the skin appears dull and sunken.
Allergies: They cause inflammation and increased blood flow around the eyes.
Sun Exposure: UV rays can trigger excess pigmentation, worsening dark circles.
Ageing: Collagen loss makes the under-eye area thinner, revealing blood vessels and causing hollowing.
Lifestyle Changes That Help
While not all causes are preventable, certain habits can significantly reduce their appearance:
1. Prioritize Sleep
Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep. Consider elevating your head slightly to prevent fluid pooling under your eyes.
2. Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water daily (about 2–3 liters) improves skin elasticity and plumpness.
3. Reduce Screen Time
Digital fatigue strains the eye muscles and worsens under-eye discoloration. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
4. Apply Cold Compresses
Chilled green tea bags or cucumber slices can soothe inflammation and constrict blood vessels.
5. Healthy Diet
Incorporate foods rich in iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants to support healthy blood flow and collagen production.
Topical Treatments for Dark Circles
Over-the-counter eye creams can be helpful, especially when used consistently. Look for products containing:
Retinol: Boosts collagen production and thickens under-eye skin.
Vitamin C: Brightens and reduces pigmentation.
Caffeine: Constricts blood vessels, reducing puffiness and darkness.
Peptides: Strengthen and repair the skin barrier.
Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and plumps the skin for a smoother appearance.
However, topical creams can only go so far—especially when volume loss, pigmentation, or aging is the main issue.
Advanced Aesthetic Treatments at DermAttract
When lifestyle changes and topical products aren’t enough, our expert-led, evidence-based treatments offer a deeper level of rejuvenation. At DermAttract, we specialise in Sunekos and Polynucleotide injectables for under-eye concerns.
Sunekos: Regenerate From Within
Sunekos is an innovative injectable that combines amino acids with hyaluronic acid, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. It improves:
Skin hydration
Volume loss
Fine lines and crepey texture
Dark pigmentation under the eyes
Most clients see visible improvement in 1–2 sessions, with results that continue to improve over weeks. Results may vary.
Polynucleotides: Advanced Cellular Repair
Polynucleotides are bio-revitalizing molecules derived from DNA fragments that stimulate tissue regeneration and repair at a cellular level. They are ideal for:
Restoring thin, fragile under-eye skin
Boosting elasticity

This treatment is ideal for clients with sensitive or mature skin, offering long-lasting rejuvenation and radiance.
