Dark Circle Treatment
When the skin under or around the eyes darkens, it leads to dark circles—also known as periorbital hyperpigmentation (POH), periorbital melanosis, infraorbital darkening, or infraorbital discolouration.
Dark circles represent the darkening or discolouration of skin and are caused due to several factors, including allergies, heredity, pigmentation irregularities, and sun exposure. Eye strain, extreme fatigue, and sleep deprivation can also cause blood vessels and dark tissues beneath the skin to be visible.
FAQs Related To Dark Circles
How are dark circles formed?
The delicate skin structure around the eyes is susceptible to discolouration and puffiness due to buildup of fluid and poor blood circulation. Internal and external factors such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and exposure to sunlight aggravate the delicate skin tissue and cause dark circles.
What are the treatments available for dark circles?
At Celebrity Secrets, we perform a comprehensive medical assessment to identify any deficiencies responsible for dark circles. Along with a suitable at-home skincare routine that may include aloe vera gel, almond oil, and eye creams, we may advise you to choose any of the following treatments:
Chemical Peels: We offer various AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) and BHA (beta hydroxy acid) peels to exfoliate your skin and clear pore congestion for improved skin texture and a brighter appearance. Proper exfoliation also treats dark spots and pigmentation to make skin firmer, smoother, and tighter.
Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers are used in facial aesthetics to contour and plump up areas with wrinkles caused due to aging or scarring. As dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA) that keeps skin hydrated and volumized, these are helpful in reducing or eliminating dark circles and making skin youthful.
Laser Treatment: Laser treatment generates heat and vaporizes damaged cells. Laser therapy helps in stimulating collagen formation, which leads to a significant decrease in the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags. Our treatment is not only safe but effective in treating under-eye skin problems.
Microdermabrasion: This is a non-invasive procedure that uses fine exfoliating crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and encourage the growth of new cells. As it helps in improving blood circulation, it is highly effective for dark circles caused due to pigmentation.
What are the post-treatment precautions?
You should avoid dust, sun exposure, and rubbing your eyes vigorously immediately after the treatment. Eye makeup is also not recommended for 2–3 days post-treatment.
