Regenerative” tear-trough treatments for under-eye hyperpigmentation usually refer to biologic or collagen-stimulating options like PRF/PRP, exosomes, microneedling with growth factors, or biostimulating fillers.

Expected Results
1. Mild to moderate lightening of pigmentation
Regenerative treatments can help lighten dark circles by 20–40% when pigmentation is caused by:
• Thin, translucent skin
• Vascular visibility (bluish or purple tone)
• Volume loss creating shadowing
They are less effective if the pigmentation is due to genetics, deep dermal melanin, or long-standing brown hyperpigmentation.
