If the circles around your eyes are becoming darker and more noticeable, you might be considering options to combat them. At Dermed Clinic of Danga Bay, Johor Bahru, Dr. Muniandi Velayuthan can help you select treatments designed to help. In fact, below are several solutions for dark eye circles to consider either in our office or at home between appointments with our team.
Six solutions for dark eye circles
- Proper sleep
Getting enough sleep is the most important solution to reducing dark eye circles. Lack of sleep often causes blood vessels under the eyes to dilate, causing a darker appearance. We encourage patients to aim for seven to nine hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.
- Stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water daily helps keep your skin hydrated and flushes out any toxins that might contribute to dark circles. Eight glasses each day should be sufficient for most patients.
- Eye creams
Look for eye creams containing certain ingredients, such as vitamin C, retinol, and even hyaluronic acid. These can help brighten and plump up the delicate skin around the eyes. Apply them twice daily for the best results.
- Cold compress
Applying a cold compress, such as a chilled cucumber slice or tea bag, to your eyes can constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling, temporarily minimizing the appearance of dark circles.
- Chemical peels
Chemical peels may be effective for those with severe dark circles caused by hyperpigmentation. These peels use acids to remove the top, uppermost layer of skin and promote new, healthier skin cells to grow in its place.
- Laser therapy
In cases where other treatments have not been successful, laser therapy can target and destroy melanin-producing cells that contribute to dark circles under the eyes. This can provide long-lasting results but may require multiple sessions.
Treatment options for skin concerns
Both laser therapies and chemical peels require a visit to our office. Laser therapy can be easily tailored to your specific needs and targets common skin concerns, including dark circles. Chemical peels are also customizable and provide deep exfoliation for brighter, more even-toned skin. We invite patients to keep in mind that results may vary from person to person, so it’s best to consult with Dr. Muniandi Velayuthan to determine which treatment option is most suitable for your needs.
