Dark Circle Treatments to Brighten Tired Eyes and Restore a Youthful Look

Under-eye circles may be caused by volume loss, thin skin, visible veins, hyperpigmentation, or genetics. At Kovak Cosmetic Center, we treat the underlying cause with customized solutions like under-eye dermal fillers, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), laser resurfacing, microneedling, and medical-grade brightening skincare.

Our approach restores smoothness, reduces shadows, and brings light back to the eyes — all without surgery or downtime.

What to Expect from Treatment for Dark Circles Under Eyes at Kovak Cosmetic Center

1–3 Days

Following injectable or skin-based treatments, mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur. The area may already appear slightly brighter or more hydrated.

✓ Quick, in-office session
✓ Immediate improvement in hollowness or shadowing
✓ Skin renewal begins beneath the surface

4–10 Days

Swelling fades and results become more visible. Dark pigmentation softens, veins become less noticeable, and under-eye texture improves.

✓ Noticeable under-eye brightness
✓ Less need for concealer or makeup
✓ Skin feels smoother and more resilient

3–6 Weeks

Collagen stimulation from PRP or microneedling builds deeper improvement. Fillers settle, and the tear trough becomes less pronounced.

✓ Rested, refreshed eye appearance
✓ Reduction in shadowing and discoloration
✓ Improved firmness and skin tone

3–6 Months+

With ongoing care, results are long-lasting. PRP, filler, and laser benefits often last 6–12 months. Maintenance helps prevent recurrence.

✓ Youthful, illuminated under-eye area
✓ Reduced tired or aged look
✓ Natural, confidence-boosting results
