Although the title of this application area is " Microneedling dark circles and bags under the eyes", we need to look at the treatment of dark circles and bags under the eyes separately.
Let's start with dark circles and then look at the causes of dark circles.

Causes for the development of dark circles
The reasons for the development of dark circles can be very complex.
On the one hand, they can be caused by lifestyle factors and habits such as lack of sleep, too much alcohol, drugs, stress, poor diet, etc., but on the other hand they can also be caused by illnesses, hyperpigmentation and blood vessels under the skin showing through.
As you can see, there are causes of dark circles under the eyes for which it is better and more effective to combat the cause itself than the symptoms.
As the other causes could also be a disease, it is advisable to have any dark circles that suddenly appear and no longer disappear checked by a doctor.
If you can then rule out a disease, the remaining cause is hyperpigmentation, which can often be genetic or due to thin skin that allows the underlying blood vessels to show through.
Hyperpigmentation
If you suffer from hyperpigmentation, you have various options to combat the dark circles under your eyes. Three options are, for example
- Microneedling with whitening serums or depigmentation serums and then the use of supplementary products for aftercare
- BB-Glow treatment with brightening BB-Glow serums, whereby the success of the treatment is not permanent
- Make-up over the dark circles - the simplest and quickest option
Microneedling treatment against dark circles
If you opt for microneedling, we recommend the following serums
As mentioned above, the thin skin under the eyes can also be the cause of dark circles, as the thin skin allows the tiny blood vessels underneath to show through.
For this reason, it is also important to "thicken" the skin under the eyes. This is possible with microneedling (Dermaroller or Dermapen) itself.
However, you can support this process by using a hyaluronic serum, collagen serum or a serum with EGFs (epidermal growth factors) such as Placent.5 serum.
It is obvious that this effect cannot be achieved with just one or a few applications. Therefore, do not give up after the first few applications, even if you have not yet achieved the desired result.

- Collagen Serum / Utsukusy Cosmetics
- Placent.5 Cocktail / Utsukusy Cosmetics
Peelings can also have a very supportive effect. However, you should never apply them to the eye contour area yourself. Contact with the eyes must be avoided at all costs.
The WAKAI Homecare Serum and the WAKAI Face Creamare ideal aftercare products for the Utsukusy depigmentation serum , as they contain the same active ingredient (melavoid) as the microneedling serum.
Of course, the EyeLift Cream eye cream from Utsukusyis also a very good choice.

Microneedling treatment of dark circles with BB-Glow serums
For the BB Glow treatment of dark circles, we recommend the BB Glow serums from Utsukusy Cosmetics. They are available in three different colour shades. Light - Medium - Dark. You can also mix the colours together.
We recommend that you first gain a little experience with the BB Glow serums. Choose a colour shade that is only slightly lighter than the eye area to be treated and then slowly work your way up to the colour shade that is right for your overall complexion.
You should never go too deep with BB Glow treatments and not in the eye contour area anyway. This is because if you work the colour pigments contained in the BB-Glow serum too deeply into the skin, they will logically no longer be visible. For this reason, you should not choose a depth of more than 0.4 mm for the BB-Glow serums from Utsukusy.
To lighten dark circles, you will probably only need the BB Glow Serum light shade (Clear shade) or a mixture of the light serum and the medium shade (Middle shade).

Bags under the eyes
In order to treat bags under the eyes properly, you first need to understand what causes them to develop.
Causes of bags under the eyes
As is so often the case, there are various reasons for the development of bags under the eyes.
These can be illnesses, but also specific life circumstances such as drug use, excessive alcohol consumption or lack of sleep.
In these cases, it makes more sense to combat the causes than the symptoms.
- abstaining from drugs, alcohol and nicotine
- adequate water intake
- adequate sleep
- a healthy, low-salt diet
Another reason for the development of bags under the eyes can be a build-up of fluid.
This type of bags under the eyes usually appear in the morning. This fluid accumulation is often related to hydrostatic pressure during sleep.
For this reason, they usually disappear again during the course of the day.
It is also often a combination of different factors, as sagging skin under the eye due to the ageing process can of course significantly increase the tendency to bags under the eyes.
This is where microneedling comes into play, as microneedling makes the skin thicker and, of course, firmer. Regular treatment is very important for this.
As we have already mentioned elsewhere, we are of the opinion that different serums should be used.
We would recommend, for example
- Eye Lifting or Eye Lift Serum / Utsukusy
- 3.5% Hayluron Serum / Utsukusy
- Collagen serum / Utsukusy
- Out Fusion microneedling serum against dark circles and bags under the eyes / mccosmetics
As microneedling in the eye contour area is not a simple procedure and incorrect treatment must be ruled out to prevent damage to your eyes, we strongly advise you to consult an experienced beautician.
Another cause is the accumulation of fat, which leads to unsightly and permanent bags under the eyes.
For this type of bags under the eyes, you should consult a plastic surgeon, as an operation to surgically remove the above-mentioned fat deposits is the treatment of choice.

Frequently asked questions about microneedling with a dermaroller or Dermapen for dark circles and bags under the eyes
How does microneedling work on dark circles?
Microneedling is a popular cosmetic treatment that is also used to treat dark circles under the eyes.
Mechanism and benefits of microneedling for dark circles
Stimulation of collagen production: The tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin. These stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which improves the skin structure and tightens the skin.
- Improved skin texture: The increased collagen production leads to a thicker and smoother layer of skin under the eyes, which reduces the appearance of dark circles.
- Promotion of skin renewal: Microneedling accelerates the natural skin renewal process. Old, damaged skin is replaced by new, healthy skin, resulting in a fresher and more youthful appearance.
- Increased absorption of active ingredients: After the treatment, the skin is more permeable to skincare products. This allows special serums and creams used to treat dark circles to penetrate the skin better and take effect.
- Reduction of pigmentation: Microneedling can help to lighten hyperpigmented areas and thus reduce the dark shadows under the eyes.
Tips for use
- Regularity: For optimal results, microneedling should initially be performed for 4 to 6 treatments approximately every 10 days. Then give your skin a rest for 4 weeks. If you are still not satisfied with the results, start a new cycle with a further 4 to 6 treatments.
- Aftercare: Use a moisturising and regenerating eye cream after the treatment to support healing and maximise the effect.
- Sun protection: As the skin is more sensitive after treatment, a high level of sun protection should be used to prevent UV damage.
By combining these mechanisms, microneedling can effectively help to reduce dark circles and revitalise the skin under the eyes.
How does microneedling work on bags under the eyes?
Microneedling is a popular cosmetic treatment that is often used to improve skin texture and elasticity. Microneedling can have the following effects on bags under the eyes:
- Stimulation of collagen production: The small needles penetrate the skin and cause micro-injuries. This stimulates the skin's natural healing process and promotes the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer and smoother skin.
- Improved microcirculation: The micro-stitches stimulate blood circulation in the treated area. Improved microcirculation can help to reduce fluid retention that causes bags under the eyes.
- Increased skin absorption capacity: The microchannels created by microneedling improve the absorption of active ingredients from skincare products. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C can penetrate deeper into the skin and develop their effect more effectively.
- Promotion of skin regeneration: The treatment stimulates the regeneration of skin cells, which can lead to a generally improved skin structure and a more even skin tone.
To summarise, microneedling offers an effective method of reducing bags under the eyes by strengthening the skin's structure and promoting the skin's natural healing processes.
How painful is microneedling for dark circles?
Microneedling is a popular cosmetic treatment for improving the appearance of the skin, including the reduction of dark circles. If you're wondering how painful the procedure is, here are some key points:
- Skin sensitivity: The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than in other areas of the face, which can make microneedling in this region potentially more painful.
- Anaesthetics: If necessary, an anaesthetic cream can be applied before microneedling to significantly reduce the pain. Most users report a slight discomfort but no severe pain.
- Needle size and stitch depth: Smaller needles and a shallow stitch depth reduce pain. Professional treatments are generally less painful as the beauticians are trained experts.
- Individual perception of pain: Every person has a different perception of pain. What is barely noticeable for one person may be more unpleasant for another.
In summary, it can be said that microneedling for dark circles is generally well tolerated and the pain can be minimised through anaesthesia and professional execution.
How does a BB-Glow treatment with microneedling help with dark circles?
BB-Glow is an innovative cosmetic treatment that is becoming increasingly popular, especially for reducing dark circles under the eyes. Here you can find out how this method can help:
- Instant brightening: the BB-Glow treatment uses tiny colour pigments that are worked into the skin to provide an immediate brightening effect. This makes dark circles less visible and the skin appears more radiant.
- Long-term improvement: In addition to the immediate brightening effect, the BB-Glow serums from Utsukusy Cosmetics help to improve skin structure and health. The active ingredients it contains, such as hyaluronic acid, promote collagen production and improve the skin's elasticity.
- Hydration: The treatment moisturises the skin, which is particularly important for the thin and sensitive skin under the eyes. Well-hydrated skin looks fresher and plumper, which further reduces dark circles.
- Pigment correction: BB-Glow can help to even out pigment irregularities. The result is a more even skin tone that minimises the appearance of dark circles.
To summarise, the BB-Glow treatment offers an effective solution to reduce dark circles by instantly brightening, improving skin texture and hydration. It is important to have the treatment performed by an experienced professional to achieve the best results.
