I. Topical drugs Topical drugs are mainly used for pigmented dark circles and vascular dark circles.
For pigmented dark circles, it is mainly a decoloring agent. The mechanism is to prevent the DNA synthesis of active melanocytes and reduce the melanin content in epidermis. This kind of treatment will take several months to achieve the cosmetic effect.
For vascular dark circles, drugs are mainly used to improve blood stasis in the lower eyelid, or to cover vascular congestion by accelerating collagen synthesis and increasing dermal thickness, thus treating vascular dark circles.
Drugs for external use must be diagnosed and prescribed by a doctor and cannot be used without authorization.
It is not recommended to apply Moulong hemorrhoid cream to treat dark circles on the Internet. Some friends not only have little effect after trying it, but also have redness around their eyes and a spicy pain.
Second, chemical peeling Chemical peeling is used for pigmented dark circles, and vascular dark circles are prohibited.
Chemical exfoliation is the controllable damage to skin by external application of one or more chemical agents, so as to remove melanin deposition in epidermis or superficial dermis.
Third, laser treatment Laser treatment is suitable for pigmented, vascular and structural.
In recent 30 years, laser has been widely used in the field of beauty, and different laser treatment schemes should be adopted for different dark circles.
For example, exfoliating or non-exfoliating laser therapy can be used for skin relaxation and aging; Vascular-specific laser targeted destruction of fine capillary network and dilated veins around eyes can be used to treat vascular dark circles.
If the dark circles are stubborn and want to be removed by laser, it is best to go to the plastic surgery department of a regular hospital to find a professional doctor for diagnosis and evaluation.
Four, filling therapy is mainly used for vascular and structural dark circles.
For dark circles caused by thin and transparent eyelid skin, dark circles caused by lacrimal groove and concave shadow can be filled with soft tissues such as autologous fat or hyaluronic acid.
There are many ways to get rid of dark circles among the people. What have you tried? What's the effect? You might as well leave a message with the micro-doctor and talk about the shortcuts or detours you have taken to deal with dark circles ~
Dark circles are not always caused by staying up late. Etiological studies speculate that dark circles are the result of many factors, including melanin deposition in dermis, superficial vascular structure, skin relaxation, grooves and edema. At present, there are three main types of dark circles.
First, pigmented dark circles Pigmented dark circles are formed due to excessive deposition of melanin in the dermis. Dermal melanocytosis, post-inflammatory pigmentation and edema caused by allergic contact dermatitis can cause dermal melanin deposition.
In life, excessive sun exposure, medication, pregnancy, breastfeeding, eye surgery, trauma, etc. will all lead to the increase of melanocytes. However, patients with allergic contact dermatitis are prone to pigmentation and dark circles under the eyelids if they rub and scratch their eyes too much.
Some people may not believe that edema can cause dark circles. In fact, edema will increase the thickness of skin, increase the diffuse reflection of pigment, and thus expand the range of skin blackening.
Second, vascular dark circles generally dark circles caused by staying up late belong to vascular dark circles. For this kind of dark circles, going to bed early is effective. Staying up late for a long time and overusing eyes will lead to poor or blocked blood circulation around the eyes and blue blood vessels.
Eyelid skin is thinner and there is less subcutaneous fat. The orbicularis oculi muscle, blood vessels, dermal capillary network and blue reticular veins protruding below penetrate the skin, forming a gloomy appearance. If the blood vessels under the skin around the eyes are damaged and red blood cells leak out, resulting in an increase in hemosiderin in the dermis, it will aggravate dark circles.
In addition, rhinitis, endocrine disorders and anemia can also lead to poor blood circulation around the eyes. Some female friends will have more serious dark circles during the physiological period because of endocrine changes in the body.
Third, structural dark circles Structural dark circles are divided into congenital and acquired.
The congenital reason is mainly the shadow formed by lacrimal groove. On the anatomical basis, the orbicularis oculi muscle under our eyes is attached to the orbital margin through the medial lacrimal groove ligament. Explained in the vernacular, the lying silkworm is connected with the eye socket through the tendon on the inner side of the lacrimal groove. The closer this "rib" is to the inner corner of the eye, the shorter it becomes, forming a downward and outward depression. At the same time, with the change of age, the loss of subcutaneous fat and the gradual thinning of the superficial skin of ligament will aggravate this groove depression.
The acquired causes are mainly the skin relaxation of the lower eyelid, orbital fat swelling and edema. Different types of dark circles can also be mixed to form mixed dark circles.
Dark circles have always been a "chronic disease" that plagues many people, and it seems that it is difficult to "cure" repeatedly. This is because many dark circles are caused by various factors, not just one reason. Moreover, the process of improving dark circles is usually very long, so many people choose a thorough and quick way, that is, through drugs, lasers or surgery.
In principle, I don't recommend these "efficient" methods, but emphasize prevention, that is, to prevent dark circles in a healthier way without them or without serious conditions. If you really have dark circles, don't be afraid to take the time to improve them. This process can make you pay attention to your diet and living habits again.
