Consultation

Embarking on the journey to address under-eye dark circles through laser therapy commences with a personalised consultation. In this session, I assess the specific concerns related to under-eye dark circles, discusses potential contributing factors, and establish realistic expectations and treatment goals.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before the procedure, patients receive tailored guidance on pre-treatment preparations. Instructions may include discontinuing certain skincare products, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and adopting a proper skincare routine. Preparing the delicate under-eye area ensures optimal results and minimizes potential side effects during and after the fractional CO2 laser treatment.

Procedure

The treatment involves the use of a fractional CO2 laser, emitting precise beams of light to target the pigmentation causing under-eye dark circles. The fractional approach ensures controlled and targeted treatment, allowing for improved skin texture and reduced discoloration while preserving the delicate nature of the under-eye area.

How It Works

Under-eye dark circles can form due to various factors, including genetics, thinning skin, and vascular issues. The fractional CO2 laser works by delivering focused energy to the targeted areas, stimulating collagen production and improving blood circulation. This promotes skin renewal and reduces pigmentation, resulting in a brighter and rejuvenated under-eye appearance.

Recovery

Post-procedure, patients may experience minimal redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. Patients are advised to follow specific post-treatment care instructions, including the use of gentle skincare products and sun protection for the under-eye area. The recovery period is generally short, allowing patients to resume their regular activities with minimal downtime.

Results

The full results of fractional CO2 laser therapy for under-eye dark circles become noticeable gradually. Patients often observe an improvement in the under-eye skin texture, a reduction in pigmentation, and an overall brighter appearance. Continued collagen production enhances the skin’s elasticity and resilience.

Follow-Up Sessions

Depending on the severity of under-eye dark circles and individual response to treatment, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal and sustained results. These sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart, allowing for gradual improvement and addressing specific concerns. Regular follow-up sessions contribute to long-lasting results, ensuring a refreshed and revitalized under-eye area.
