Background: Infra orbital dark circles are now recognized as being a cosmetic problem that should be considered in treatment issue. The present study aimed to assess and compare the clinical efficiency of the combination of micro-needling and 10 trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cream as well as carbon dioxide laser in the management of infra-orbital dark circles. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was performed on women aged 28�62 years who complained of infra-orbital dark circles. The patients were randomly assigned to be treated with micro-needling combined with 10 TCA cream topically or CO 2 laser. The treatment period in each group included three sessions with an interval of one month between sessions. The assessment was based on both subjective and objective methods. Results: the mean of �E (the difference in the intensity of darkening at infra-orbital points and other points of the face) was significantly higher in the laser group than in the other group in all sessions. The patients who were treated with laser were found to have a higher level of satisfaction in the fifth visit when compared to those who received the other treatment method. Conclusion: Regarding clinical effectiveness and the patients� compliance, fractional CO 2 laser was more preferred in the combination therapy with micro-needling and topical TCA for removing infra-orbital dark circles. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis.
