Under-eye darkness, referred to as dark circles, is a commonly heard, worldwide concern amongst people of all ages, races, or sexes across the globe. ‘It can appear in shades of blue, brown, purple, or black, as per one’s natural skin tone. Usually, it is faced by people who use the screen for long hours, have poor nutrition, have a family history of dark circles, are aging, or have a dark skin tone’, shares a dermatologist at Arcane Clinics, a leading clinic for Dark Circles Treatment in Noida. This also makes them look fatigued and aged.

Want to wipe out dark circles from your face? This guide can help you!

Although you can try to banish them with many home remedies and topical skincare products or conceal them with eye makeup, you most probably need a cosmetic dermatologist's help for a guaranteed, effective solution. Dermatological treatments can address various aspects of dark circles, from fading out pigmentation to improving skin texture and volume. 

So, let’s explore the 5 professional treatments for dark circles in this blog post.

  • Chemical Peels- These are the acid solutions that work to exfoliate the top layer(s) of the skin, as per their strength and skin penetration ability. Under-eye peels can help reduce hyperpigmentation and make the under-eye skin evenly toned, thus reducing dark circles. Most used peels are the gentle, alpha-hydroxy acids like glycolic acid, mandelic acid, kojic acid, and lactic acid. They need to be repeatedly applied in a week's gap to get optimal results.   

  • Laser Therapy- Lasers in general can help resurface and tighten the skin, and even thermally destroy the extra melanin pigment in the pigmented areas of the skin. Various lasers are available to target under-eye pigmentation, stimulate collagen production, and encourage skin cell turnover. Over time, the controlled heat damage caused by multiple laser sessions can help lighten the dark circles and rejuvenate the under-eye area. The most used lasers are non-ablative types like diode and pulsed dye lasers.

  • Dermal Fillers- Also referred to as soft tissue fillers, these are injectable products that restore the age-related volume loss in the skin beneath the eyes. The most commonly used type is the hyaluronic acid filler. It is a natural dermal filler that has high water retention ability and can help keep the skin hydrated. It can immediately plump and volumize the under-eye hollows and smooth the transition between the cheek and lower eyelid, thereby fading out the shadows or dark circles caused by under-eye hollows.

  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy with Microneedling (Vampire Facial)- This procedure involves the collection of the patient’s blood, its centrifugation to separate the blood components, isolation of the PRP solution, and then injecting PRP into the skin of the targeted area. Before injecting the PRP, micro-channels are created in the patient’s under-eye area using a microneedling device for effective absorption of PRP in the skin. The PRP contains natural growth factors that further boost collagen remodelling and skin cell renewal, hence helping improve skin texture and reducing dark circles over time. Multiple sessions, each scheduled in a month's gap, yield optimal results.

  • Microdermabrasion- This is a mechanical skin exfoliation technique, which leaves the skin resurfaced. It promotes the growth of new skin cells while replacing the old, damaged skin layers. It is particularly recommended for treating dark circles resulting from hyperpigmentation issues, especially due to sun damage.

Note:

One can also give a shot to topical treatments like creams, gels, or serums with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and retinol for managing under eye dark circles.
