How to get rid of dark circles and hollow eyes? – Dr. Deepak P Devakar

This is the most common complaint which we are facing with our patients nowadays. With long hours of working on the system where they are not able to get good amount of sleep or stressful lifestyle there is a volume loss happening under the eyes. This is visible as deep grooves which are formed and gives a tires and daggered look to the face. Even if they are fresh after a sleep still the face doesn’t look fresh only because of deep hallow sunken eyes. It is also complicated by pigmentation around the eyes. Both of these cannot be corrected by just a cream application. A skin lightening cream will help in lightening the pigmentation, but if the depth is more you need to correct it with a simple procedure called as dermal filler. Dermal filler is a gel which is injected into the eye. Before the procedure we apply a cream to numb the skin. Then it is a painless procedure. The tiny injections can be given just under the groove which give a remarkable difference within a couple of minutes. This will take away the wrinkle formation under the eyes also. It is going to prevent ageing why because it is going to give a support under the skin which will act as a bridge and prevent further volume loss and regenerate the blood vessels around the eyes giving a more fresher look. This is going to take away the requirement of more cosmetics used on the face also. It is a very simple procedure and very negligible pain. Mostly hyaluronic acid filler is done. This is the most commonly available filler and as soon as it is done you can see the difference. Pigmentation or darkness around the eyes can be treated with simple basic creams. The most common one is to use a moisturiser. Rubbing the eyes may cause pigmentation or there may be some eczema conditions. Using a moisturiser followed by a sunscreen also would be beneficial. This may be combined with skin lightening creams applied at night.
