Dark Circles Under-Eye Treatment in London

DARK CIRCLES TREATMENT

A Personalised Regenerative Approach to Dark Circles

Dark circles can make the eyes appear tired, shadowed or older – even when you feel well rested. But not all dark circles are the same.

This is why there is no single treatment that is right for every dark circle.

At NAR LONDON on Harley Street, we take a personalised approach to under-eye rejuvenation. We assess the characteristics of the under-eye area before recommending treatment and may use PRF, targeted skin treatments or a carefully planned combination depending on your individual concerns.

For selected patients, our Dark Circles Treatment combines Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) with Xela Rederm Eyes to address different aspects of under-eye skin quality without relying on conventional dermal filler.

What Causes Dark Circles?

Dark circles are often described as one concern, but their causes can be very different.

• Thin or translucent under-eye skin, making underlying blood vessels more visible
• Loss of collagen and elasticity with age
• Mild tear-trough hollowing, which creates shadow beneath the eye
• Increased pigmentation, particularly in some skin types
• Visible vascularity, which can produce blue or purple tones
• Dehydrated or crepey skin
• Genetics and facial anatomy
• Sun exposure
• Lifestyle factors such as inadequate sleep, stress and dehydration

Because dark circles have multiple causes, effective treatment requires a targeted, multi-dimensional approach.

A dual approach: PRF + Xela Rederm Eyes

The treatments work differently. PRF is prepared from your own blood and is used to support gradual tissue and skin-quality improvement. Xela Rederm Eyes combines hyaluronic acid and succinic acid and is used primarily to support hydration and improve the appearance and quality of delicate under-eye skin.

Rather than treating every dark circle in exactly the same way, the aim is to address the characteristics identified during your assessment.

What Is PRF Under-Eye Treatment?

PRF is an autologous (your own blood-derived) treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production by delivering concentrated growth factors directly into the under-eye tissue. Unlike PRP, PRF forms a fibrin matrix that slowly releases healing factors, promoting longer-lasting skin regeneration and volume restoration.

Benefits of PRF:

• Enhances collagen synthesis and skin thickness
• Improves skin texture and elasticity
• Reduces pigmentation and shadowing
• Natural, gradual rejuvenation without synthetic fillers
• Results last 6 to 12 months.

What Is Xela Rederm Eyes?

Xela Rederm Eyes is a microinjection treatment featuring low molecular weight hyaluronic acid combined with succinic acid and antioxidants. This formula deeply hydrates the skin, stimulates fibroblasts, and combats oxidative stress, leading to improved skin firmness, brightness, and reduced puffiness.

Benefits of Xela Rederm Eyes:

• Deep hydration and improved skin elasticity;
• Boosts collagen and elastin production;
• Enhances microcirculation to reduce dark pigmentation and swelling;
• Quick visible results within days;
• Effects last around 3 to 6 months.

How Does the Combined Treatment Work?

By pairing PRF’s collagen-inducing, regenerative properties with Xela Rederm Eyes’ hydrating and antioxidant-rich formula, this combination targets multiple causes of dark circles:

• Volume loss and skin thinning are addressed by PRF’s natural tissue regeneration
• Pigmentation and vascular issues are improved through enhanced microcirculation and antioxidant protection from Xela Rederm
• Skin texture and elasticity benefit from the synergistic stimulation of collagen and elastin

This dual approach offers a comprehensive, natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery or synthetic fillers.

Treatment Protocol

1. Consultation & Assessment: Our expert practitioner will evaluate your under-eye area to determine the type and severity of dark circles and design a personalised treatment plan.
2. PRF Procedure: A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed, and injected under the eyes to stimulate collagen and skin repair.
3. Xela Rederm Eyes Session: Two weeks later, microinjections of Xela Rederm Eyes hydrate and revitalise the skin for enhanced results.
4. Recovery: Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within days. Post-treatment care includes hydration, sun protection, and avoiding strenuous activity for 72 hours.
5. Follow-up: Multiple sessions (usually 3) spaced every 2 weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results. One maintenance session every 3-6 months may help sustain improvements.

Who Is This Treatment For?

This combined therapy is ideal for individuals with:

• Mild to moderate dark circles caused by volume loss, pigmentation, or poor circulation
• Early signs of ageing or under-eye dehydration
• Desire for a natural, safe, and long-lasting rejuvenation without synthetic fillers or surgery.
• For everyone who wants to rejuvenate their under-eyes.

Safety & Side Effects

Both PRF and Xela Rederm Eyes are well tolerated with minimal risks:

• PRF uses your own blood, minimizing allergic reactions
• Possible mild swelling, bruising, or redness at injection sites
• Xela Rederm Eyes may cause temporary swelling or itchiness

Our team ensures strict sterility and safety protocols for your comfort and peace of mind.

Results & Longevity

• PRF: Gradual improvement over 4-6 weeks with effects lasting 6 to 12 months
• Xela Rederm Eyes: Rapid hydration and brightness within days, lasting 3 to 6 months
• Combined, these treatments provide a balanced, natural rejuvenation for brighter, smoother under-eyes.
