Doctor Tina Bani on under-eye regeneration
Under-Eye Concerns · Manchester
Feeling personally victimised by your dark circles? You're not alone — the under-eye area is one of the most common concerns we treat. Doctor-led dark circles treatment in Manchester that starts with diagnosing your cause — pigmentation, thin skin or volume loss — because the right treatment depends entirely on which one is yours.
Cause Diagnosed First
Pigmentation, thin skin or shadowing
Polynucleotides (PDRN)
Regenerates thin under-eye skin
Tear Trough Filler

The Skiin Approach
Dark circles are the most misdiagnosed concern in aesthetics. Three patients with identical looking darkness in the mirror can have three completely different causes: pigmented dark circles (melanin in the skin), thin under-eye skin revealing vessels and muscle beneath, or pure shadowing from volume loss in the tear trough.
Each cause has a genuinely different answer. Pigmentation responds to brightening, regenerative treatment. Thin skin strengthens with cellular regeneration. Shadowing needs volume — and none of the three are fixed by eye cream, however expensive.
At Skiin, your doctor examines the under-eye area properly before recommending anything — then builds a plan that may combine polynucleotides to regenerate skin quality, dermal filler where volume is the issue, and prescription skincare to support the result at home.
The Result
The right treatment for your cause — the change reads as well-rested, never as 'had something done'.

Treatment Routes
The regenerative route for pigmented dark circles and thin, crepey under-eye skin — intensive antioxidant and brightening effects that rebuild skin quality over a course of 3 sessions.
The structural route when shadowing comes from volume deficiency — precise dermal filler restores the transition between cheek and under-eye, softening the darkness safely in a doctor's hands.
For many patients the most complete answer is both: filler restores the lost shape while polynucleotides regenerate the skin covering it. Your doctor designs the sequence.
The supporting route at home — vitamin C, kojic acid and retinoid-based products strengthen and brighten between sessions, prescribed rather than guessed.
The Journey
Week 0
Doctor's assessment
Your doctor examines the under-eye area, identifies your cause — pigmentation, thin skin or volume loss — and prescribes your personalised plan.
Session 1
Treatment begins
Micro-injections of PDRN across the under-eye area (or precisely placed filler, if volume is the cause). A 20–30 minute session with mild, brief redness.
Week 2–8
The course builds
Sessions 2 and 3 complete the polynucleotide course. Firmness emerges, texture refines and the under-eye area brightens progressively.
Ongoing
Maintain the brightness
A single maintenance session every 3–6 months, with prescribed home skincare protecting the result.
