How can I remove dark eye circles in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

There is really no perfect method to “curing” dark eye circles. Usually treatments done would be to reduce the severity and the treatment will take a period of time.

The causes of dark eye rings include

  1. Genetics- fair or thin skin makes blood vessels/capillaries more obvious.
  2. Age- Obviously responsible for thinning of supportive connective tissue and veins become more obvious
  3. Allergies and UV rays also need to darkening of the undereye region

Treatment wise

  1. Fillers can be used if there is significant tissue loss in the eye area by buttressing the underlying vessels.
  2. Topical treatments – Arnika based creams do help with the pigmentation, Retinols also help improve the issue of thin skin
  3. Lifestyle changes: Sleep, reduced computer addiction (aren’t we all guilty of it)
  4. Antihistamines for people prone to allergies.
  5. Lasers can be used, they sometimes help people with superficial pigmentation that worsens the visual severity of dark eye circles.
