Infraorbital dark circles: A review of the pathogenesis, evaluation and treatment
Vrcek I, Ozgur O, Nakra T
Published in Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery
Methodology
Clinical review of causes and treatments for periorbital hyperpigmentation and tear-trough shadowing.
Key Findings
Dark circles are multifactorial (pigmentation, thin skin with visible vasculature, tear-trough shadow), and treatment must match the underlying cause.
Conclusions
Topicals help pigmentary causes only; structural causes need fillers or surgery.
Limitations
Narrative review; limited controlled trial evidence.
