Under-Eye Dark Circle Treatment

Dark circles can be due to a number of reasons:

• Excessive pigmentation in dark-skinned people
• Visible blood vessels in pale-skinned individuals
• Hormonal causes such as pregnancy or the contraceptive pill
• Hereditary factors
• Nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain mucus from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker. The skin under the eye is very thin which means that the blood vessels under the eye can be more noticeable.
• Hollow under-eyes – many people complain about dark circles under the eyes. Quite often this is due to a ‘dip’ or ‘trough’ under the eye that casts a shadow and gives a tired look. This hollow or ridge running from the inner corner of the eye is known as a Tear Trough. This condition can be hereditary, part of the normal ageing process, or following lower eyelid surgery when too much fat has been removed;
• Combinations of the above.

Laser Toning as under-eye dark circle treatment – Pigmentation in the under-eye area can be corrected with the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, which breaks down the melanin and lightens the dark eye circles after several treatments. Besides, the laser will help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and stimulate collagen regeneration, which subsequently reduces the visibility of the underlying blood vessels with thicker skin.

Dermal filler – Hollow and dark circles under the eyes can make you look exhausted all the time and are caused by a lack of ‘padding’ under the eyes. Injection of Juvederm or Teosyal Redensity II hyaluronic acid dermal filler to the ‘tear trough’ area adds substance between the upper layer of skin and underlying tissues reducing the dark appearance. We offer the best dermal fillers in Kuala Lumpur with safe and effective FDA-Approved injectables.
