DARK CIRCLES

Deep, hollowed-out dark circles can appear with age due to a lack of malar support or, in some cases, are genetically predisposed. With age, there is a loss of the malar fat compartment (in the cheeks), which is responsible for supporting the under-eye area. In these cases, it is essential to first replace the malar volume deficit to restore support to the under-eye area before directly treating the more "hollowed-out" dark circles. In cases where there is no malar fat deficit, treatments can be performed directly on the dark circles to improve their appearance. What to do? POLYNUCLEOTIDES - collagen biostimulators that can be performed periocularly for skin rejuvenation of the under-eye area; HYALURONIC ACID* - injection with hyaluronic acid to fill, when necessary, the support area of the under-eye area (malar area), and/or the dark circles directly. *Only indicated for dark circles that do not cause "puffiness" or bags under the eyes.

Sagging under-eye circles are characterized by numerous wrinkles due to very thin and loose skin. In this case, our goal is to increase the thickness of the under-eye skin, improve its texture, and treat fine lines and wrinkles. How to treat it? POLYNUCLEOTIDES - collagen biostimulators that can be applied periocularly for skin rejuvenation of the under-eye area; PRP - platelet-rich plasma, which consists of the richest fraction of our blood containing growth factors, and can be injected into the under-eye skin to make it firmer; LASER - specifically for treating under-eye wrinkles; CHEMICAL PEELING - chemical products that exfoliate the skin and allow the growth of new, smoother skin; HIFU - high-intensity focused ultrasound. It is an excellent treatment to improve skin laxity and redensify it.

Dark circles with puffiness are characterized by the accumulation of fat and fluid pockets due to compromised lymphatic drainage in the area. Often, surgery is the best option for this type of dark circle. Here are some minimally invasive options for milder cases: POLYNUCLEOTIDES - collagen biostimulators that can be applied periocularly for skin rejuvenation of the dark circle area; SMOOTH EYE - FOTONA LASER - a laser that performs deep tightening of the dark circle, improving sagging and support of the ligament; MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE - lymphatic drainage is a good alternative in this case to help remove accumulated fluids.
