Dr. Martin Rachwalski sheds light on the effectiveness of Nanofat for treating pigmented dark circles.

Neither hollow nor puffy, <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/beaute/le-guide-infaillible-pour-cacher-ses-cernes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dark circles</a> are often the most difficult to correct. The cause: deep pigmentation or skin that is too thin, allowing blood vessels to show through. To remedy this, Dr. Martin Rachwalski , a facial surgeon, relies on Nanofat, a cellular concentrate derived from the patient's own fat. This innovative approach regenerates the skin deep down and provides lasting results in reducing discolouration.

L'OFFICIEL How do colored dark circles differ from hollow or puffy dark circles, and why are they more difficult to correct? Dr. Martin Rachwalski: <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/beaute/tendance-a-faire-des-cernes-avec-du-maquillage-qui-choque-internet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dark circles under</a> the eyes are not a matter of volume or bags. They are caused by skin pigmentation, which can be accentuated by sun exposure or by the transparency of extremely thin skin, allowing the underlying blood vessels to show through. This dual mechanism makes them particularly resistant: neither a simple filler injection nor a traditional surgical procedure is sufficient to correct them permanently.

LO: Why is Nanofat considered the most effective method for treating dark circles? Dr Martin Rachwalski: Nanofat is derived from the patient's own fat, finely processed to extract a concentrate of stem cells and growth factors, without lipocytes, meaning it has no volumising effect. This pure cellular cocktail, ultra-rich in regenerative agents, is then injected superficially, under the skin. Its action is deep and targeted: it stimulates collagen production, thickens the delicate skin around the eyes, reduces the visibility of subcutaneous vessels, and acts directly on pigmentation, including that caused by sun exposure or hormonal imbalances. Unlike other techniques that merely camouflage or fill, Nanofat treats the very cause of dark circles by regenerating tissue from within. Beyond the eye contour, this treatment can also be used to even out facial pigmentation and improve overall skin quality, without altering natural facial contours.

LO: How exactly does a Nanofat treatment session unfold? Dr. Martin Rachwalski: A small amount of fat is harvested, usually from the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then filtered and emulsified to obtain Nanofat. The injection is performed using micro-cannulas in the under-eye area. Depending on the case, the procedure can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. Recovery is rapid, sometimes with some bruising or temporary swelling, without prolonged downtime.

LO: What are the expected results, and how long does it take to see an improvement in the colour of dark circles? Dr. Martin Rachwalski: The first results are immediately visible on the operating table. But the true benefit of Nanofat is revealed over time: regeneration is gradual, thanks to the new production of collagen. The improvement is refined month after month, reaching final results approximately six months after the procedure.

LO: Are the results lasting or are several maintenance sessions necessary? Dr. Martin Rachwalski: The results are long-lasting because Nanofat deeply alters the skin's quality. This isn't a product that washes away, but rather a genuine regenerative effect. Depending on the natural ageing process and sun exposure, a maintenance session may be considered after a few years, but it's not always necessary.

LO: What are the potential risks or side effects associated with using Nanofat in the under-eye area? Dr. Martin Rachwalski: They are limited: small hematomas, transient swelling. Since it is autologous tissue, meaning it comes from the patient themselves, there is no risk of rejection or allergy. The only requirement is to entrust this delicate area to a highly trained practitioner, as periorbital anatomy demands absolute expertise.

LO: What alternatives exist, and why are they not as effective as Nanofat for this type of dark circles? Dr. Martin Rachwalski: Lasers, peels, and hyaluronic acid injections exist, but they only have a partial effect. Peels and lasers can improve the skin's surface but don't thicken the skin in depth, and hyaluronic acid can even accentuate pigmentation through the Tyndall effect. Nanofat, on the other hand, acts simultaneously on pigmentation, transparency and skin texture, making it the only truly comprehensive and effective approach available today.
