Dark circles are one of the most common concerns we hear at Zeugma MedSpa. The frustrating truth is that eye creams rarely fix them because the cause is usually deeper than the surface: volume loss, thin skin, visible veins, or pigmentation. Here are the four treatments that actually work.
PRP Under Eye Injections (From $290 promo)
Platelet-Rich Plasma uses your own blood to stimulate collagen production under the eyes. We draw a small blood sample, spin it to concentrate the platelets, and inject the growth-factor-rich plasma into the under-eye area. PRP is best for improving skin quality, reducing fine lines, and brightening the area over time.
Results take 4-6 weeks to appear. You will need 3-4 sessions for optimal results. Ideal if your dark circles are caused by thin skin or poor circulation.
PRF Under Eye ($549)
PRF is the next generation of PRP. By spinning your blood at a lower speed, we create a thicker fibrin matrix that releases growth factors slowly over 10-14 days. This sustained release means longer-lasting collagen stimulation.
EZ Gel Under Eye (From $849 promo)
EZ Gel is the game-changer for clients who need actual volume restoration under the eyes but want to avoid synthetic filler. Made from your own blood proteins, it creates a natural gel that fills hollows and smooths the tear trough area.
Restylane Under Eye Filler (From $750)
Traditional hyaluronic acid filler provides the most immediate and dramatic volume restoration. Results are visible immediately and last 6-12 months.
How to Choose
During your free consultation at Zeugma, we assess whether your dark circles are caused by pigmentation, thin skin, volume loss, or a combination.
Side by Side Comparison
| Treatment | Best for | Results show | How long they last |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRP (from $290) | Thin skin, dullness, fine lines | 4 to 6 weeks | 12 to 18 months with a full series |
| PRF ($549) | Same as PRP but stronger stimulation | 4 to 6 weeks | 12 to 18 months with a full series |
| EZ Gel (from $849) | Hollows, natural volume without synthetic filler | Immediately, refines over weeks | 6 to 12 months |
| Restylane filler (from $750) | Deep hollows, most dramatic correction | Immediately | 6 to 12 months |
What Actually Causes Dark Circles?
Matching the treatment to the cause is everything. There are four main culprits. Volume loss: as the fat pad under the eye shrinks with age, a hollow forms and casts a shadow. Filler or EZ Gel fixes this. Thin skin: when the skin under the eye is thin, the blue tone of the vessels underneath shows through. PRP and PRF thicken the skin over a series of sessions. Pigmentation: genetics and sun exposure can darken the skin itself, which is common in Miami and often improves with skin treatments and strict SPF. Lifestyle: sleep, salt, alcohol, and allergies all worsen puffiness and shadowing, and no injectable outruns them completely.
Why Eye Creams Rarely Work
Creams sit on the surface. A hollow tear trough is a structural issue, thin skin is a collagen issue, and vessel show through is an anatomy issue. A cream can hydrate and temporarily plump the very top layer, which is why the improvement disappears when you stop using it. Treatments that rebuild collagen or restore volume address the actual cause.
Downtime and Safety
All four options are quick office visits with minimal downtime. Mild swelling or a small bruise at the injection site can appear for a few days, so plan at least a week of buffer before big events. PRP, PRF, and EZ Gel are made from your own blood, which makes an allergic reaction essentially impossible. The under eye is a delicate area, so the injector matters more than the product: at Zeugma every under eye treatment is performed by an experienced medical injector.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt? The area is numbed first. Most clients describe pressure rather than pain, and the appointment takes under an hour.
Can treatments be combined? Yes, and often the best plan is a combination, such as EZ Gel for the hollow plus PRF to improve skin quality. Your consultation maps this out.
Which one should I start with if I am unsure? If your main issue is shadowing from a hollow, start with a volumizing option. If your circles look brown or your skin is crepey and thin, start with PRP or PRF. The free consultation settles it in minutes with an in person assessment.
Is there anyone these treatments are not for? Active skin infections, certain blood disorders, and pregnancy are the usual reasons to wait. We review your health history before treating.
