How do we fix them?

Wear SPF
Wearing SPF daily is essential for maintaining your skin, dark circles or not. The sun’s UV rays are very harmful to your skin and will cause premature ageing, pigmentation and will make scars and imperfections darker. Wear a minimum of SPF 30 (we recommend 50) daily all year round.

Add eye cream
The eyes are typically the first areas to age and just a small dip of the eyebrow can age us about 10 years! There are two formulations from Skin Medica- The TNS illuminating cream-this is a light weight cream with 10% growth factors (TNS), and Boron Nitride. The Boron Nitride optimises the optical diffusion effect of light, which lessens the visibility of dark circles and discolorations. Skin Medica also has TNS eye repair cream, this is designed for older eyes as it has a higher lipid base, its also has 10% TNS which works to improve fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of dark circles and hydrate the fragile skin around the eyes. There is a host of other ingredients along with the optical diffuses that work together to get the most benefit out of these creams. They are available with a free consultation only and work even better if you are already on a good skin health regime.

Under eye dermal filler
Depending on what is causing your dark circles, under eye filler into the tear trough area can help fill the area and reduce its sunken appearance. By using either Juvederm or Restylane Filler under the eye this can fill out the hollows that are actually causing the dark circles. This can be discussed at a consultation to see if it is the right treatment for you.

Skin brightening formulations for pigmentation
Treatments using the Lytera Brightening system by Skin Medica is proven to reduce the issues with pigmentation and give an overall healthier glow. Healthier skin is also less likely to get dark circles. Micro-needling treatments could also be of use to thicken the skin under the eyes and create a more even skin texture.

PRP

PRP is a natural treatment using your body’s own platelets, and is proven to be very helpful in improving the skin texture and increasing the collagen production.
