Dark Circles & Puffy Eyes – Causes and the Best Aesthetic Treatments

Say Goodbye to Tired-Looking Eyes with Advanced Under-Eye Solutions

If you’re tired of people asking, “Didn’t you sleep well?” even after 8 hours of rest—you’re not alone. Dark circles and puffy eyes are among the most common aesthetic concerns for both men and women.

At The Nest, House of Dental & Facial Aesthetics, we see dozens of patients every week battling under-eye problems. Whether it’s genetics, lack of sleep, screen exposure, or aging—under-eye darkness and eye bags can significantly impact your appearance and confidence.

Here’s everything you need to know about what causes them—and how we can help you treat them safely and effectively.

😵 What Causes Dark Circles & Puffy Eyes?

Dark circles and puffiness are often caused by a combination of lifestyle, genetics, and aging:

1. Genetics & Skin Type

If your parents have deep tear troughs or visible under-eye veins, chances are, you will too.
Some people naturally have thin skin under the eyes, which makes the dark blood vessels more visible.

2. Hyperpigmentation

Due to sun exposure, rubbing, or inflammation (like allergies), melanin builds up around the eye area—making it look darker, especially in Indian skin tones.

3. Volume Loss & Aging

As we age, the fat pads under our eyes shift downward, creating a hollow look or tear troughs that cast shadows and make circles look deeper.

4. Fluid Retention & Puffiness

Too much salt, stress, lack of sleep, or hormonal changes can cause fluid buildup and swelling around the eyes.

5. Lifestyle Factors

Excess screen time, dehydration, smoking, lack of skincare, and UV exposure make the problem worse.

🧴 Common Myths About Under-Eye Circles

🚫 “Use more eye cream and it will go away.”
➡️ Eye creams can help with hydration, but don’t work for deep pigmentation or volume loss.

🚫 “Dark circles mean you’re tired.”
➡️ Not always. Even people who sleep well may have genetic or structural darkness.

🚫 “They can’t be treated without surgery.”
➡️ False! At The Nest, we offer non-surgical, FDA-approved treatments with proven results.

👩‍⚕️ Under-Eye Treatments at The Nest – What Really Works?

We offer personalized solutions depending on what’s causing your dark circles or puffiness. Here are our most popular treatments:

1️⃣ Under-Eye Fillers

Best for: Hollow under eyes, deep tear troughs, structural darkness

Fillers (usually Hyaluronic Acid-based) are injected gently into the tear trough area to restore lost volume, lift shadows, and give a fresh, rested look.

🕒 Results: Immediate, with full effect in 7 days
🧴 Downtime: Minimal to none
⏳ Lasts: 9–12 months
✨ Effect: Brighter, youthful, less tired-looking eyes

2️⃣ PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Best for: Dark pigmentation, thinning skin, puffiness

PRP uses your own blood’s healing factors to stimulate collagen, improve blood flow, and reduce pigmentation. It’s completely natural and safe.

🕒 Results: Seen in 3–4 sessions
🧴 Downtime: Slight swelling/bruising for a day or two
✨ Effect: Firmer skin, smoother texture, less darkness

3️⃣ Q-Switch Laser or Carbon Laser

Best for: Pigmented dark circles

Laser energy breaks down melanin and helps lighten the area without harming the skin.

🕒 Sessions: 4–6
🧴 Downtime: None
✨ Effect: Uniform skin tone and brighter eyes

4️⃣ Radiofrequency or Microneedling RF

Best for: Loose under-eye skin, fine lines

These treatments tighten skin using heat or microcurrent, reducing sagging and improving texture.

5️⃣ Customized Medical Creams & Serums

We prescribe dermatologist-grade products like retinols, peptides, or arbutin based on your skin’s response. These help in mild to moderate cases.
