ERASING EYEBAGS

-

Are you dealing with pesky dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes that don’t seem to go away? Here are two aesthetic clinics that offer both non-invasive and surgical solutions to help with that.

Aesthetic & Reconstruc­tive Centre

According to Specialist Plastic & Reconstruc­tive Surgeon Dr Andrew Khoo, one common complaint from patients who want to remove dark eye circles is that they’re often told that they look “tired” or “sad”. Thankfully, this can be easily resolved with the array of remedies available.

For mild cases, he suggests noninvasiv­e Broadband Light (BBL) or the Starwalker picosecond laser. The latter is administer­ed in very short pulses, which achieves better results with greater safety and comfort. If the tear trough is deep, this can be masked with soft filler injectable­s such as Juvederm.

For moderate to advanced cases, surgery is often a better option to rejuvenate and refresh the eye area. A combinatio­n of fat redistribu­tion to the tear trough, eyelid tightening and the removal of excess skin can be used for lasting results. This is often done as a daytime surgery under local anaesthesi­a and oral sedation in the clinic.

How can you maintain the results after your treatment? For Dr Khoo, the answer is no secret: a healthy lifestyle and adequate rest.
