The first sign of aging in a face are fine lines at the corner of the eye (Crow’s feet). Lines appear because of a reduction in collagen and elastin in the skin which occurs with aging. Once lines appear, it is really time to begin active anti-aging treatments.

Causes of dark circles :

• Atopic conditions.
• Familial occurrence (appear to have larger parameters implying that it has nothing to do with your lifestyle).
• Allergies.
• Erratic lifestyle.
• Thyroid.
• Iron deficiency.
• Structural contributors like deep-set eyes, or fat regressing due to age (the result of this is that the eyes look tired and dull).

What are the treatment options?

• Botox removes lines within 5 – 7 days of injection. This is a good treatment for an immediate solution. Botox injections have to be repeated every 3-6 months.
• Fillers are ideal for lines and hollowness that occur under the eye and spread over the cheekbone.
• Chemical Peels give a more effective solution to pigmentation around the eyes. There are many types of peels to address the same. It can also be combined with mesotherapy or PRP for better results.
• Pharmaceutical eye creams containing Retinol, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid augments the effect of chosen anti-aging procedures and maintains the appearance and quality of a rejuvenated skin after the treatment.
