When it comes to getting rid of dark under eye circles, there are no shortages of treatments. Question is, do any of the treatments really work? Many women find themselves spending loads of money on expensive concealers and foundations to try to hide the unsightly circles. Problem is, these cosmetics never completely cover the dark areas, and as the day wears on, the cosmetics wear off. Not only do under eye circles add years to a woman’s appearance, they also make them look tired and sleep deprived. Let’s take a look at some of the treatments women are trying in hopes of eliminating this problem, once and for all.
Surgery
There are two types of surgery used to treat dark under eye circles. These surgeries include fat transfer surgery and laser. Fat transfer surgery is performed by harvesting fat from parts of the body, sometimes by liposuction, and injecting the harvested fat into the targeted under eye area. This fat thickens the skin making the dark circles less visible. With laser surgery, a laser beam is passed over the darkened area removing unwanted skin cells, layer by layer. This results in the formation of new collagen in the areas treated, diminishing under eye circles. The downside to surgery is that it is not recommended for everyone. Surgery is expensive, risky, and sometimes painful, and results vary from patient to patient. Some patients end up very disappointed by the results.
Home Remedies
Many home remedies have been tried to reduce the appearance of under eye circles. Such remedies include tea bags, cucumber slices, raw potato slices, almond oil and vitamin E. The effects of these home remedies are typically short lived, at best. Truth is, very few people who have tried these, and other home remedies, report significant improvements in their dark under eye circles.
Topical Dark Circle Creams
Topical creams have been used by many women over the past years to reduce the appearance of under eye circles. These creams typically work by removing blood that has gathered underneath the skin in the areas below the eyes. One topical cream that is proven to be effective is Eyelasticity. This cream contains the patented active ingredients Eyeseryl, Syn-ake, Regu-age, ProCollONe+, Hydrolite 5 and Beta Glucan.
