Dark and sunken dark circles, bags, excess skin on the eyelids … make us look more tired, sad. There can be many causes for their appearance: heredity, diet, fluid retention, stress, etc. Nowadays there are several treatments that, combined together, improve the appearance of the eyes and the look.
Medical treatments against dark circles under the eyes
- Carboxytherapy (CO2): dark circles under the eyes have a purplish and dark color caused by poor circulation, which deposits iron in the eyelids. Carboxytherapy consists of introducing a gas that produces an immediate oxygenation that improves blood flow. Four sessions of just over 10 minutes are needed.
- Hyaluronic acid: over the years the ligaments that support the fat surrounding the eyes become more lax, moving downwards. The freshness effect is immediate, and its effects last about one year.
- Plasmaxeresis: it is based on the physical principle of sublimation, i.e. the vaporization of a solid. It is a very fast treatment that leaves a slight edema that disappears after a few days.
- Photofractional laser: this is the sum of intense pulsed light and fractional laser which, combined, attenuate crow’s feet, improving capillary quality and activating collagen and elastin.
- Botulinum toxin: it puts an end to crow’s feet, as it relaxes the periobicularis muscle in a few days.
- Our own fat, like platelet-rich plasma, is able to improve the skin in this area.
