There are basically two types of dark circles under the eyes. Either seem blood vessels due to the very thin skin under the eyes through. The dark circles under the eyes are usually reddish, bluish or shadowy - fair-skinned people are particularly prone to this type of dark circles. Or it is one Hyperpigmentation under the eyes.

Microneedling for dark circles and bags under the eyes
During microneedling, a roller with many tiny needles is passed over the skin. These needles easily penetrate the top layer of skin, creating microscopic injuries.

Microneedling dark circles: This is how the treatment works
In order to effectively and long-term combat dark circles using microneedling, several sessions are usually necessary. At least four sessions – spread over several months – are usually recommended. If dark circles are particularly pronounced, additional treatments or refresher treatments may be necessary.
- Cleaning before treatment
Before we carry out microneedling, we carefully clean and disinfect your facial skin. This ensures that neither dirt nor bacteria can penetrate the small wounds. Inflammations have no chance! A local anesthetic cream helps against possible pain, especially in thin areas of skin such as under the eyes.
- Microneedling
After cleaning, the actual treatment begins. A so-called needling roller, also known as a derma roller, is guided over your face with a little pressure so that the fine needles gently perforate the stratum corneum of your skin and deeper layers of skin. The roller is pulled over the skin in different directions to achieve the best possible result.
In our studio Microneedling Berlin A radio frequency pulse is also triggered. We adapt how deeply the needles penetrate your skin and how strong the radio frequency current works to you and your needs.
- Care afterwards
After the treatment, your skin will be slightly red. This is not a sign of improper treatment, but the expected result. We then provide your face with rich moisturizers. Make sure that your skin is not put under too much strain in the coming hours; treat it to rest and care.
You can of course help your skin with its self-healing process. Use a sustainable moisturizer, anti-aging serum, or jasmine ointment.

How painful is microneedling for dark circles?
Depending on your personal level of pain, the treatment may be perceived as slightly painful. The actual pain also depends on the needle rollers used. The longer the needles, the more uncomfortable the treatment feels. However, many people report only a slight burning or tingling sensation. Since only the top layer of skin is injured by the needles, in which there are no nerves, microneedling is generally not expected to cause severe pain.
Does microneedling have dangerous side effects?
When microneedling is performed by professional personnel, there are no dangerous side effects. Since the tissue around the eyes is very sensitive, the skin can easily be injured if handled improperly. For this reason, independent treatments are strongly discouraged.
As already mentioned, after a microneedling treatment, the skin is red and irritated. Mild swelling may occur as well as flaky and dry skin. However, these skin reactions are harmless and are part of the regeneration phase.
