"You look tired." You've heard it at work, at family functions, even on days you slept a full eight hours. The concealer helps a bit, until it creases by lunch. Dark circles are one of the hardest things to fix on your own, mostly because they rarely come from just one cause. For one person it's pigment. For another, its thin skin showing the veins underneath, or a hollow that casts a shadow. At Dadu Medical Centre, a skin clinic in Delhi with centres in Vasant Vihar and Rajouri Garden, dark circles treatment starts by figuring out which of these you're dealing with. Dr. Nivedita Dadu and her team then pick the treatment that fits.
Dark circles are the darker patches of skin between the lower eyelid and the top of the cheek. The skin here is very thin, much thinner than anywhere else on the face, so anything happening underneath shows through quickly.
Dark circles can show up at any age, in any skin type. They tend to get more noticeable over the years as the skin thins and loses volume. They aren't harmful, but they can make you look exhausted, older or unwell, even when you feel perfectly fine.
It's rarely just one thing. Usually two or three of these are at work together.
Some dark circles are in your genes, so they won't disappear with habits alone. These still help, and they make treatment results last longer.
Sleep on a proper schedule. Consistent hours matter more than the odd lie-in on Sunday.
Take screen breaks. Look away every twenty minutes or so, and blink.
Stop rubbing. If your eyes itch, treat the allergy instead.
Wear sunscreen and sunglasses. The under-eye area darkens quickly in the sun.
Drink enough water.
Get your iron checked if you're often tired, pale or out of breath.
Use a gentle under-eye cream. Nothing too harsh. This skin is delicate.
Don't try lemon, potato or bleach. They can irritate the skin and make things worse.

Most people come in after trying three or four eye creams. None of them worked, and usually it's because the cream was treating the wrong cause. A pigment problem needs a different answer than a hollow or thin skin. At Dadu Medical Centre, our doctors look closely at your under-eye area in good light, ask about your sleep, screen time and health, and work out what's really behind the darkness. Dr. Nivedita Dadu and her team then match the treatment to that, often combining two approaches for a better result. You can be seen at either our Vasant Vihar or Rajouri Garden centre, whichever is easier for you.
Ans. Usually a mix of genes, extra pigment, thin skin, hollows under the eyes, poor sleep and screen time. Low iron can play a part too.
Ans. First, the type of dark circles is identified. Then it could be creams, peels, laser, fillers, PRP or microneedling, sometimes a combination.
Ans. They can improve a lot. Genetic, pigmented circles may not vanish fully, but they can be lightened noticeably and kept under control.
Ans. It helps if poor sleep is the cause. For genetic or hollow-type circles, sleep alone usually isn't enough.
Ans. Yes, when done carefully by an experienced doctor. Only a small amount is used, and the area is treated conservatively.
Ans. It depends on the treatment. Peels and laser usually need a few sessions. Fillers often show a difference after one.
Ans. Very little. You may see mild redness or slight swelling for a day or two, especially after fillers or laser.
Ans. Some help a little with mild pigmentation. They won't fix hollows or thin skin.
Ans. Of course. It's very common in men too, especially with long hours on screens.
Ans. Treatment is available at both our Vasant Vihar and Rajouri Garden centres in Delhi.
