Puffy eyes and dark circles can be caused by a variety of factors. Under eye serums and makeup may not be as effective as you like in helping you to look your best. Fortunately, there are professional treatment options available to rejuvenate your appearance. Here are three cosmetic treatments to help you reduce puffy eyes and dark circles.
Intense Pulsed Light for Dark Circles
If your dark circles are the results of genetics, intense pulsed light treatment may be beneficial. This cosmetic treatment works by focusing light waves directly at darker skin pigmentation. This helps restrict the blood vessels that creates a blue tinge with dark circles. Intense pulsed light treatment also stimulates collagen production to tighten skin under the eyes, reducing the appearing of under eye puffiness.
Dermal Fillers for Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles
As you age, you can lose fat in your face that can make your facial features appear thin and sunken. This can enhance the appearance of dark circles and puffiness under your eyes. Dermal fillers work by injecting a substance or your own fat to plump facial features to help reduce puffy eyes and dark circles.
Eyelid Surgery to Correct Puffiness and Dark Circles
If you have extensive puffiness and dark circles as a result of aging, eyelid surgery may be an option you want to consider. Eyelid surgery can correct sagging skin on the upper and lower eyelids and remove fat creating puffiness under the eyes. This procedure can be combined with other cosmetic procedures like dermal fillers to help refresh your eyes.
