Dark Circle Removal

Dark circles problem is very common in the Indian subcontinent and us as dermatologist face so many questions regarding them.

First of all, let’s see the causes;

• Increase in pigmentation.
• Acanthosis nigricans.
• Because of the application of excessive kajal.
• Wrinkles in these areas/prolapsed of various fat pads.
• Thinning of skin and increase the visibility of veins and capillary network.
• Loose and Redundant skin.

If the diagnosis is correct then we can target specific cause.

• If there is an increase in pigmentation we can use various creams, chemical peeling and mesotherapy.
• Acanthosis nigricans can be treated with retinal based creams.
• Wrinkles can be treated with AHA/BHA creams/retinol based creams and HA fillers.
• Aging leads to thinning of infraorbital skin making the veins and capillary network visible which can be treated with HA fillers.
• Loose skin can be treated with blepharoplasty.
