Tear-trough hollows, dark circles or thinning under-eye skin — gentler than filler, more targeted than a cream.
Tear-trough hollows, dark circles or thinning under-eye skin — gentler than filler, more targeted than a cream.
Dark circles can be caused by pigmentation, by visible blood vessels through thin skin, by hollows that throw a shadow, or by a combination of all three. They look the same in the mirror but need different treatments.
Polynucleotides are the most recognised non-filler treatment for this area. Short DNA fragments injected into the skin stimulate your own repair processes — building back the collagen, elastin and structural support that thin under-eye skin tends to lose with age. The under-eye protocol works on thin skin, weak collagen and impaired healing in the tear-trough specifically. We use Plinest Eye, the dedicated under-eye formulation from Mastelli.
We always start with a consultation to identify which type of dark circles you have and what treatment will actually help.
Specialist under-eye polynucleotides — designed for thin, delicate lower-eyelid skin.
Stimulates skin repair and thickens the dermis around the eye area. Visible improvement after a course of 3, with no risk of the over-filled look that comes with tear-trough filler.
Depending on your skin and goals, one of these may be more appropriate — or we may combine them with the primary treatment.
When dark circles are mainly pigmentation-driven (post-inflammatory marks, sun damage), DMK Even Tone targets the pigment rather than the structure.
For under-eye crepiness and texture irregularity. Builds collagen for thicker, more resilient lower-eyelid skin.

No — and that is the point. Filler adds volume to a hollow; polynucleotides improve the skin itself. The result is healthier-looking skin, not a filled hollow. You do not get the puffy look that filler can sometimes cause.
It depends on the cause. We assess at consultation — if your circles are pigmentation-driven we would recommend DMK Even Tone instead. If they are structural (hollows + thin skin), polynucleotides are usually the right call.
Less than you would expect. The needles are very fine, topical numbing is available, and the under-eye area tolerates it well. Most clients describe a small pinch.
Typically 6-9 months after a completed course. Most clients top up with a single session annually.
Often yes, but timing matters. We need to know what filler is in place, when it was done, and where. Tell us at consultation.
