Instructions

• 1

  Use "Eye Promise", medicated eye cream by Doctor Robert Rey. Wash your face and apply cream under the eye to the darkened areas. Frequent use will result in improved elasticity of the skin and reduced puffiness, leaving a more attractive, youthful appearance. Results may vary by person.

  Cosmetic treatment is an option if creams are not enough. One treatment for removing dark circles is laser surgery. High intensity laser light is used to destroy collagen and fatty tissues under the skin. The body's own repairing agents are then able to fix the damage when healing. Set up a consultation with a representative from a local cosmetic surgeon's office to discuss the results, risks, and cost of the procedure. Don't expect full results in the first visit. Patients often return several times until the problem is completely alleviated.

  Consult a doctor about eye lid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty. This is an invasive treatment for dark circle removal, which involves cutting the skin with a scalpel. Set up a free consultation with a representative from a local cosmetic surgeon's office. This procedure may involve more recovery time than the laser removal, but can usually be finished by a single treatment.
