Circles Under the Eyes Annapolis, MD

Restore brightness and balance to tired-looking eyes with subtle, effective treatments that address hollowness, pigmentation, and skin thinning.

Refresh Your Expression—Illuminate Your Gaze

Dark circles and under-eye hollowing can shift the entire tone of your expression—casting shadows that suggest fatigue, even when you feel energized. Whether caused by genetics, volume loss, or skin transparency, these concerns are highly individual and require a tailored approach. At Adoro Medical Spa, Dr. Elba Pacheco brings a specialized understanding of the eye area to help restore clarity and softness beneath the eyes—so your features reflect vitality, not fatigue.

Why Under-Eye Circles Develop

The area beneath the eyes is among the thinnest and most expressive on the face—making it especially vulnerable to changes in skin quality, pigmentation, and volume. While some dark circles are inherited, others form gradually as structural support diminishes or lifestyle stressors take their toll.

Common causes include:

Volume Loss: As the fat beneath the eyes decreases, hollows form that deepen shadows and create a sunken appearance.
Thinning Skin: Over time, the skin becomes more translucent, allowing underlying blood vessels to show through.
Hyperpigmentation: Genetics, sun exposure, and skin type can contribute to a darker appearance under the eyes.
Lifestyle Factors: Poor sleep, dehydration, and chronic stress often exacerbate existing concerns.

No two under-eyes age the same way—Dr. Pacheco’s approach starts with understanding your unique anatomy and the root cause behind the shadows.

Treatment Options for Under-Eye Circles

Adoro’s treatment plans are never one-size-fits-all. With extensive experience in eyelid anatomy and facial aging, Dr. Pacheco curates a plan that enhances your under-eye area in the most seamless, natural way possible.

Treatments may include:

Tear Trough Fillers: Carefully placed hyaluronic acid-based fillers lift shadows and restore volume beneath the eyes, instantly softening the hollowed appearance that contributes to dark circles.
Laser Resurfacing: For patients with pigmentation or skin thinning, light-based resurfacing improves tone, thickens the skin, and stimulates collagen for longer-term improvement.
Medical-Grade Skincare: Customized regimens featuring antioxidants, brighteners, and peptides help hydrate, firm, and illuminate the under-eye skin.
Lifestyle Optimization: Supportive care, including hydration, nutrition, and sleep hygiene, plays an important role in reducing the recurrence and severity of under-eye shadows.
