Dark Circles Underneath the Eyes- 101 part 5

Other methods

Lasers: Lasers are used to treat almost everything in medicine. The cosmetic surgeons are now advocating lasers for baggy eyes and dark circles. The answer is simple- do not go for it. Lasers near the eye are very risky and there are many complications. The majority of testimonials on cyberspace about lasers claim it is very painful and in fact worsens the condition. Lasers are also very expensive and not worth the hassle.

Medications: There are a few topical medications that can narrow blood vessels and lighten dark circles. However, these vasoconstrictors are temporary, have a lot of side effects, and are generally never prescribed for baggy eyes.

Bleaching agents: There are some fools who sell bleaching agents to treat dark circles. the sad thing is that there are bigger fools who buy such products. Bleaching agents and eyes do not make good partners. Plus, bleaching agents do not help erase dark circles.

Surgery: Today, eye surgeons can help remove excess fat that causes baggy eyes. The surgery is relatively easy and produces decent results. However, surgery should never be first choice therapy for baggy eyes or dark circles.

Final point

Dark circles and baggy eyes are not a pleasant feature on the face and it is understandable why one seeks treatment. Anyone seeking care from a cosmetologist or a physician should note that there is nothing that works 100% for this disorder. Be prepared to spend countless hundreds and perhaps thousands of dollars. There are many scams and shams when it comes to treatment of dark circles underneath the eyes. Ask questions, get a referral, read about the condition, avoid doctors who recommend laser or invasive procedures and never go for surgery as a first choice treatment
