Dark under eyes are one of the most common concerns we see at LIT & Aesthetics—and it’s no surprise. Whether it’s from lack of sleep, genetics, stress, aging, nutrient deficiencies, or volume loss, under-eye shadows and hollowness can make you look tired, even when you’re not. If concealer has become your daily go-to and you’re ready for a more effective, long-term solution, you’re in the right place.
At LIT & Aesthetics, we specialize in treatments that help our clients feel confident and radiant from within. One of our most innovative options for under-eye rejuvenation is DermaPRP, a regenerative injectable treatment that uses your body’s own natural healing abilities to brighten, plump, and refresh the delicate under-eye area. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how DermaPRP works, who it’s for, and how you can support your results naturally at home.
Understanding the Cause of Dark Under Eyes
Dark under-eye circles aren’t always caused by one thing, which is why treating them effectively requires a tailored approach. The most common causes include:
- Thin skin or volume loss, which can expose blood vessels or create a hollow, shadowed look
- Pigmentation, often due to genetics or sun damage
- Poor circulation, leading to a bluish or purplish tint
- Sleep deprivation, which can cause swelling and darkness
- Dehydration or poor diet, affecting skin tone and elasticity
- Running low on certain nutrients like iron, b12 or vitamins K, D or E
- Aging, which reduces collagen and fat under the eyes, making dark areas more pronounced
Because the under-eye area is so delicate, you may need more intervention than your daily at-home skincare routine. That’s where DermaPRP at LIT & Aesthetics shines.
What Is DermaPRP and How Does It Work?
DermaPRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is one of our favorite treatments for addressing dark and hollow under eyes at LIT & Aesthetics. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, which can sometimes look puffy or unnatural in the under-eye area, DermaPRP works with your body’s natural regenerative process to improve tone, texture, stimulates collagen, and works to replace volume loss over time.
Here’s How It Works:
We draw a small amount of your blood, then use a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich plasma. This golden serum is packed with growth factors that stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and enhance tissue repair. We then transform it into a volumizer, through a gentle process of heating and cooling, which creates your very own biological filler. Then we inject your PRP under the tissue into the under-eye or tear trough area, targeting hollowness, darkness, and crepey skin.
What makes this treatment so powerful is that it helps address multiple causes of under-eye darkness—boosting volume, improving skin quality, and brightening tone naturally.
Why Choose DermaPRP at LIT & Aesthetics?
Our clients love DermaPRP because it’s:
- Natural – We use your own blood plasma, so there’s no risk of allergic reaction.
- Subtle and buildable – Unlike other traditional fillers, DermaPRP gives gradual, natural-looking results that build and repair tissue over time.
- Safe for the delicate eye area – It improves skin without adding excess volume or puffiness.
- Long-lasting – Results typically last up to a year with a minimum of 3 treatments and proper aftercare and maintenance.
At LIT & Aesthetics, we often recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart for optimal results that last up to 12 months. Many clients start to see improvements in texture and brightness within a few hours of treatment and full results taking place over several weeks following treatment.
DermaPRP is also excellent for volume replacement in the tear trough area, where hollowing tends to create deep shadows and tired eyes. When carefully injected, it gently plumps the area while improving skin tone—giving a refreshed, youthful look without the “overfilled” appearance.
What to Expect From a DermaPRP Treatment
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. During a DermaPRP appointment, we:
- Perform a full consultation to assess the cause of your under-eye darkness and determine if you’re a good candidate.
- Draw a small vial of your blood and process it to extract the PRP.
- Apply a numbing cream to ensure comfort during the injections.
- Gently inject the PRP into the under-eye area using precise technique.
After treatment, there may be mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Bonus! Use Your Extra Plasma for Filler in Other Key Areas of the Face
One of the best parts about DermaPRP is that the plasma extracted during your treatment isn’t just limited to your under-eye area. In fact, the extra plasma can be used for bonus treatments to rejuvenate and restore volume to other parts of your face! This makes DermaPRP an incredibly versatile option, allowing you to target multiple areas with your body’s natural regenerative powers. Here’s how we can use the extra plasma to enhance your facial aesthetics:
1. Laugh Lines (Nasolabial Folds)
These deep lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth are a common sign of aging. With the extra plasma, we can fill and smooth these folds, providing a natural lift and a refreshed look.
2. Marionette Lines
The lines that extend from the corners of your mouth down to your chin can add years to your appearance. PRP helps restore volume in this area, reducing the depth of the lines and giving your face a more youthful, smooth look.
3. Cheeks and Temples
PRP is a fantastic option for restoring volume to hollowed-out cheeks and temples, areas that can lose fullness with age. The extra plasma can help re-contour and lift the face, giving you a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
4. Jawline Contouring
If you’ve always wanted a more defined jawline, the extra plasma can be strategically injected to enhance the contour and definition of the jaw area, providing a more structured profile without the need for invasive surgery.
5. Neck and Décolletage
For those concerned about loose or crepey skin around the neck and chest, PRP can help rejuvenate this delicate area, smoothing and tightening the skin for a more youthful appearance.
When to Consider DermaPRP
If you’ve tried eye creams, caffeine patches, and more concealer than you’d like to admit—with little to no improvement—DermaPRP may be the game-changer your skin needs.
It’s ideal for:
- Hollow or sunken under-eyes
- Mild to moderate dark circles (especially blue or purple-toned)
- Crepey, thinning under-eye skin
- Clients who want a natural, regenerative option instead of filler
And the best part? There’s virtually no risk of looking overdone or under-eye filler migration—just smoother, brighter skin that looks like you, only more refreshed.
