What does under-eye dark circle treatment involve?

It refers to aesthetic procedures aimed at improving shadows, sagging, hollows, or pigmentation under the eyes. Treatments are selected based on the specific type of dark circle and may include non-surgical options (injectables) or surgical methods (fat removal, Hamra method).

What is the Hamra method?

The Hamra method involves repositioning orbital fat—the cause of bulging—into hollow areas to smooth the under-eye contour without removing the fat. Dr. Kazuhiko Maeda utilizes an enhanced version called the 'Transcutaneous Hamra + α Method' to achieve superior results.

What are injectable treatments for dark circles?

These involve using hyaluronic acid or fat grafting to fill hollows and improve shadows caused by sagging or pigmentation. These are non-invasive procedures that can be performed quickly without a scalpel.
