How To Get Rid Of Dark Circles: Know The Procedure & Cost

Dark circles, a common aesthetic concern caused by modern lifestyle changes, stress, increased screen time, and nutritional deficiencies, can give you a tired and unhealthy appearance. While concealers offer temporary solutions, you might be wondering how to permanently remove dark circles under your eyes. At My Skin Coach, we offer advanced US FDA-approved treatments to effectively and safely reduce dark circles, providing long-lasting satisfaction.

Understanding Dark Circles Under Your Eyes: Dark circles can manifest as brownish or bluish skin tone or a shadowing effect around the eyes, resulting in a tired and older appearance. While not a health condition, they are a significant facial aesthetic concern that may require advanced procedures performed by qualified medical professionals.

Types of Dark Circles: Dark circles can be classified into three types:

1. Vascular Dark Circles: These are bluish discolorations caused by increased visibility of blood vessels due to collagen and elastin loss in the eye area with age, making the skin thinner.

2. Pigmented Dark Circles: Dark brown pigmentation can occur due to contact dermatitis from friction, frequent rubbing, or cosmetic allergies. Tan and pigmentary demarcation lines are other causes of hyperpigmentation around the eyes.

3. Structural Dark Circles: Hollowness or tear trough formation, skin sagging, fine lines due to aging, and puffiness due to fluid or fat accumulation can cause a shadowing effect, leading to dark circles.

Causes of Dark Circles: Dark circles can have various underlying causes, including:

Primary Causes:

• Genetics or family history of dark circles
• Aging, leading to prominent vasculature, tear trough formation, and skin thinning due to collagen, elastin, or fat loss
• Side effects of certain drugs used to reduce ocular hypertension

Health Concerns:

• Contact dermatitis (allergic reaction to eye makeup)
• Atopic dermatitis
• Refractive error
• Nutritional deficiencies and dehydration (anaemia)
• Thyroid hormone imbalance
• Periorbital edema or fluid retention due to hypertension, kidney, or liver disorders
• Acanthosis nigricans (thick, pigmented, velvety skin) due to obesity and insulin resistance

Lifestyle Factors:

• Inadequate or improper sleeping habits
• Stress
• Fatigue
• Increased eye strain
• Excessive sun exposure
• Frequent eye rubbing
• Smoking or alcohol consumption

Higher Risk of Dark Circles: If you fall into any of the following categories, you have an increased risk of developing dark circles:

• Older adult
• Positive family history of dark circles
• Dark skin tone with a tendency for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Dark Circle Removal Treatments at My Skin Coach: To address dark circles effectively, My Skin Coach offers various USFDA-approved advanced aesthetic treatments, including:

• Topical Applications: Dermatologists may prescribe skin-lightening creams containing ingredients like kojic acid, retinoids, azelaic acid, arbutin, Vitamin C, and hydroquinone to reduce dark circles. These should be used under medical supervision to avoid skin irritation.
• Oral Medications: Blood investigations may be conducted to check for underlying conditions like hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, or nutritional deficiencies, and suitable treatments or medicines may be prescribed accordingly.
• Chemical Peels: Dermatologists at My Skin Coach use different concentrations and types of chemical peels to treat superficial pigmentation without causing irritation in the delicate eye area. The treatment is customized based on your skin type, cause, and severity of the condition.
• Microneedling Radiofrequency: My Skin Coach uses USFDA-approved Secret RF technology for minimally invasive treatments in the under-eye area. This reduces skin laxity by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
• Hyaluronic Fillers: Expert dermatologists at My Skin Coach use hyaluronic fillers to address tear trough formation and shadowing effects due to aging. These fillers lift and volumize sagging skin, providing instant results.
• Botox: Botox treatment is recommended to reduce fine wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, around the eye area.
