Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/20/2014 -- On October 15, 2014, Allure Magazine posted on its website an article titled “How to Get Rid of Dark Circles for Good” that offers advice to consumers seeking to address dark circles under the eyes. Periorbital dark circles may be the result of one or more of the following causes: heredity, allergies, sleep deprivation, skin pigmentation abnormalities, and excessive sun exposure. Some of the article’s suggestions are literally cosmetic, ideas for concealing and covering up dark circles. Some of the suggestions are preventative such as regular sunscreen use and washing the face with cool rather than hot water. Finally, a couple of the articles suggestions are restorative such as laser treatments and dermal filler injections. (see: goo.gl/AQ9QpH)

“Dark circles under the eyes is a very common issue among my patients,” says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. “For some it is a function of genetics and for others it may be lifestyle related.”

According to the Allure Magazine article, lost facial volume may create hollowness beneath the eyes that can cast shadows and make the lower eye lids appear shrunken. Injections of a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler can be used to restore this lost volume. Skin care products that contain Retin-A can help fade dark pigment and increase collagen production. It is important not to overuse retinoid creams on the sensitive skin around the eyes as it can cause flaky, red rings that turn gray or brownish.

“At Epione, we prefer to use a combination of treatment modalities including the CoolFrax laser and dermal filler injections,” says Dr. Ourian. “We find that this treatment protocol offers the best results for our patients.”
