Quick answer
What Causes Dark Circles?
Dark circles are areas of darker-looking skin under the eyes. They have three main causes – a shadow from a tear trough hollow, extra pigment (often genetic or from rubbing), and thin skin that lets blood vessels show through as blue or purple.
Most people have a mix. Shadows deepen with age as under-eye fat and bone volume reduce. Pigment-type circles are common in darker skin tones and with allergies or eye rubbing. Thin, vascular circles look worse with tiredness, dehydration and late nights.
Each type needs a different approach: filler such as Restylane Eyelight for hollows ( Under Eye Filler), toning lasers for pigment, and boosters that thicken the skin for vascular circles.

FAQ
Dark Circles in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for dark circles in Seoul?
It depends on the cause. Hollows usually respond to under-eye filler such as Restylane Eyelight, pigment to laser toning, and thin skin to boosters like Rejuran eye. Doje Clinic doctors in Gangnam check which type you have first.
How much is dark circles treatment at Doje Clinic?
At Doje Clinic, the cost of Dark Circles depends on the areas treated and the bespoke plan designed at your 1:1 consultation with Dr. Byun Je-ik, so prices are confirmed after the doctor's assessment. Message us on WhatsApp for an initial guide.
Can dark circles be removed permanently?
Dark circles can usually be improved but rarely removed for good, because aging, genetics and lifestyle continue. Under-eye filler often lasts many months, and pigment can return without sun protection.
Is under-eye filler safe for dark circles?
Under-eye filler is commonly performed but needs careful technique because the area is delicate. It is not suitable for everyone, especially people with puffiness, so a doctor assessment comes first.
Will I bruise after under-eye treatment?
Bruising is possible after injections and usually fades within about a week. Planning treatment early in your Seoul trip gives time to settle before photos or flights.
Why do my dark circles look worse when tired?
Tiredness and dehydration make blood vessels under thin skin more visible. This vascular type often improves with treatments that support skin thickness, plus better sleep.
Do the doctors speak English?
Yes. English consultations are available at Doje Clinic, and you can send under-eye photos on WhatsApp at +82 10-6535-2110 before your visit.
