Make up can hide mild cases of dark circles but is not effective in moderate to severe cases.  For pigmentation cases we recommend using a skin brightener such as MD Brightening Cream followed with MD Ultimate Eye Cream designed to improve the volume by filling in the space under the eyes known as tear trough. It will also improve circulation to diminish the bluish hue under the eyes.  We will offer either HA filler, laser, Dermapen Microneedle, PRP Rejuvenation, Mesotherapy with Growth Factors to further improve under eye skin texture and volume.  Dr. Susan Lin will give you a professional evaluation and recommend a customized treatment option to meet your specific needs.

 

Dark circle can make one look tired and sinister.  It is not necessarily age related. If you are frustrated from using concealers, consider best dark circle treatments available with modern medical aesthetics.  First get an evaluation from experienced medical aesthetician to determine the main causes of your dark undereye circles.  Common causes can be allergy, anemia, genetic, not enough rest, hormonal, thinning skin, loss of volume, sun exposure or hyperpigmentation.    Try home natural remedies of topical caffeine, cucumber, rosewater, cold tea bags, rest, reduce smoking/drinking, and drinking water.  If persists it is time for professional help.

Dark Circles Treatment FAQs

You may have wondered about Dark Circle Treatment. If it's what you need or how it works.

We offer clinical strength eye creams and topical peptides to reduce puffiness, lighten skin tones, thicken skin and fill in loss volume.  Microneedle, laser or radio frequency skin tightening can be used to improve skin tone under the eyes.  If needed, we use mesotherapy injection of growth factors to improve skin tone, color and thickness.  Lastly, injectable hyaluronic fillers to replenish loss volume in the tear trough to diminish shadows under the eyes.

Many improve skin tone and color with topical vitamin C serum, bleaching creams and eye creams.  It prepares the skin thickness so that fillers will look more natural. A good skin care regimen also helps to maintain result of treatments.  

We use hyaluronic fillers because they are safe and reversible.  Restylane or Juvederm.

Because skin under the eyes are so thin, it can take several weeks for the filler to soften and incorporate into the surrounding tissues and look totally natural. We recommend under treatment to avoid overfilling during the initial swelling phase and best to pretreat skin with topical regimen or growth factors so fillers will look more natural.
