What specialist should treat my dark circles?

27/11/2025

Dark circles are one of the most challenging conditions for aesthetic professionals due to the area in which they appear. Addressing these hollow depressions is extremely delicate because of the high vascularisation of the eye contour, the presence of nerve structures, the fragility and thinness of the skin in the area, as well as its proximity to such important structures as the eyes.

The success of the treatment does not depend solely on the products used or on the patient; it also depends on the medical professional who performs it. For this reason, it is crucial to visit medical centres with a recognised track record to ensure greater safety, thus avoiding risks and adverse effects.

In this regard, the involvement of ophthalmologists who specialise in the ocular orbit as well as in oculofacial aesthetic medicine represents significant added value and an extra guarantee for the patient when undergoing any treatment for dark circles or any other condition in the periocular area.
