Dark circles below the lower eyelids are very common and happen to all of us. Whilst a lot of us put dark circles / eye bags down to a lack of sleep, several factors could lead to dark circles including, age, vitamin deficiencies, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and genetics.
When looking at dark circle treatment, it is always advised to seek professional advice to help you determine the cause and identify an effective treatment method.
Now, there are a number of different aesthetic options you could consider, to minimise the appearance of your dark circles. In this blog, we will look at some of the most effective dark circle treatments, to help you see what options are available.
Chemical Exfoliation
Chemical exfoliation is one of the most effective methods to treat a whole host of skin concerns, not just dark circles. Chemical exfoliation uses active ingredients to gently remove dead skin cells and help encourage cell turnover within the skin to reveal a brighter complexion.
The outermost layer of your skin is the one exposed to the elements, and therefore often contains dead, and damaged cells. If you suffer from dark circles, this layer may also contain a high number of pigment cells, which is very common in those with darker skin tones.
Chemical exfoliation uses a combination of clinically approved solutions that are tailored to your exact needs. When applied to the skin, the ingredients get to work in removing your dead skin cells, by dissolving the bonds that hold them in place. This allows the healthy skin cells to receive oxygen and absorb all the nutrients they need from your skincare. In turn, this brightens the undereye and minimises the appearance of dark circles.
Tear Trough Fillers
Dermal fillers have rapidly become one of the leading aesthetic treatments on the market due to their versatility and ability to address several issues. As a dark circle treatment, dermal fillers are injected into the tear trough to restore any lost volume, which in turn effectively reduces the appearance of dark circles.
At Home Eye Bag Treatments
Following a thorough medical skin examination where our trained experts will analyse your skin, identify any concerns and prescribe you a bespoke topical skincare routine that will help to address discoloration around the eyes and support overall skin health.
Your package will be made up of a combination of active ingredients that are tailored specifically to your needs and an SPF product to help further protect the skin from sun-induced pigmentation. As you know, the harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun are highly detrimental to skin health and can cause pigmentation issues to worsen, not just under the eyes. Our experts will advise you on how to apply each product, so you are guaranteed maximum effect
Your package may also contain our Cyspera mask that can be used alongside your prescribed skincare following the instructions of your aesthetician.
Cyspera is a pigment corrector that helps to address discoloration in the skin. It contains an ingredient known as cysteamine, which when activated lightens pigmentation. As this is naturally present within the tissues, it is well tolerated and highly effective in dark circle treatment.
