Non-Invasive Treatments Reduce Dark Eye Circles

Many factors can contribute to the appearance of those dark circles. Food allergies, especially dairy products, kidney disorders, cardiovascular shortcomings, toxicity and aging may lead to the tired, worn out look created by the tell-tale shadows. But those dark circles can still appear, even when you're healthy and holding your ground against age. In fact, it may be nothing you've done or haven't done - dark circles under the eyes often are inherited, part of a person's genetic makeup.

"Eye lid surgery and other invasive procedures can provide desired results," Dr. Ourian said, "but our Blue Light Therapy and Cool-laser treatments are quick, cause very little discomfort and require a relatively short recovery time."

Clients indicate that Dr. Ourian's Blue Light Therapy is an effective and non-invasive procedure that eliminates dark circles under their eyes without down time from work or other activities. When it comes to growing older, one sign of aging can be significant thinning of the skin around the eyes and a loss of "fat padding" in the face, both of which can result in dark circles under the eyes. Coolaser, an advanced laser treatment developed by Dr. Ourian, can be combined with dermal fillers for optimal results when thinning is a root cause of dark circles.

The skin is prepared for Coolaser treatment with the application of a special topical cream under the eyes. During the 20-minute procedure, a fine laser is used to fragment and destroy the pigments in the darker areas of the skin. The area typically heals within few days and the result is a more youthful, less tired appearance.

Finding little or no recovery time with either option, satisfied clients have reported excellent results with Coolaser and Blue Light Therapy treatments.

"I definitely see a difference!" said one of Dr. Ourian's clients. "My dark circles have lightened up by about 70% - I wish they were 100% gone - but I am happy. My sister-in-law will be moving to US soon. Will bring her in too."

Dr. Ourian and the Epione laser and aesthetic medical center specialize in minimally invasive procedures.
