Procedures
Chemical peels-This helps in reducing the effects of pigmentation on the skin. Chemical Peels remove the top dull layer of skin revealing the younger skin under that. Redness, inflammation, and sensitivity is common after the treatment.
Laser resurfacing treatment- Laser resurfacing is a good option to treat dark under eyes as it will tighten and smooth the lower eyelid skin and reduces the pigmentation of the dark circles.
Undereye Rejuvenation with Fillers-The aim of the under eye rejuvenation is to smooth out the area from under the eyes to cheeks. Therefore fillers help in lifting and building volume from deeper layers of skin. There might be mild bruising and redness after the treatment that vanishes in 24-48 hours.
Post-treatment Care
