Dark circles around the eyes are a real turn-off for individuals who look much older. Having dark circles under your eyes often makes you look tired and stressed. The area under your eyes may look hollow and sunken, while the pigmentation of your skin will appear shadowy and dark when you have this condition. It can leave you looking fatigued, unhealthy, or older than you actually are. The causes of under-eye pigmentation are varied and often complex. However, although stress and lack of sleep can contribute to periorbital dark circles, genes play a major role. Dark circles under the eyes are caused by blood vessels appearing more prominently than in other areas of the face. This, as well as pitting (due to a loss of collagen as we age), can create a tired and aged look. But dark circles may not actually be dark circles at all. The loss of supportive collagen and elastin in the under-eye area and the presence of puffy eyelids can make this zone look sunken and depressed, causing shadows to form as well as hollows under the eyes. When recommending the best treatment option, it is important for us to assess the under-eye area closely during a consultation so that we can analyse the skin quality and put forward a suitable treatment that will work. There are many options to consider, so seeking an assessment from one of the medically qualified practitioners can ensure that the approach will give you the best results.
Dermal Fillers for Dark Circles
Dermal fillers can quickly and effectively reduce dark circles while restoring volume to sunken under-eye areas. Our tear trough treatment uses dermal fillers to reduce dark eye circles for a soft, natural correction so that patients look rested and revitalized.
Under-eye peels
Under-eye soft peels are also most preferred for dark circle treatment and should be performed every 15 days, followed by a hydrating eye mask. There are several alpha-hydroxyl acid peels used for dark circle treatment, and one of the most popular is Glycolic peel 20%, which removes the dead skin cells and pigmentation from the surface of the skin and also promotes collagen formation over a period of time to rebuild the skin structure.
Botox for crow’s feet
The corner of the eyes is always treated with Botox to tighten the eye’s structure and eliminate wrinkles so that the under-eye area looks tighter and fresher.
