In general, laser treatment for dark circles usually requires 3 to 5 sessions.
Dark circles are caused by the visibility of blood vessels beneath the thin skin around the eyes, or by pigmentation under the skin. Laser treatment for dark circles is a therapeutic approach that uses laser technology to destroy blood vessels or break down pigmentation, thereby reducing the appearance of dark circles. However, the effectiveness of laser treatment varies from person to person and mainly depends on the type and severity of the dark circles, as well as the individual's skin recovery capacity.
After receiving laser treatment for dark circles, patients should keep the treated area clean and dry, follow medical advice for proper and standardized post-treatment care, and ensure adequate rest and sufficient sleep to promote recovery. Additionally, patients should avoid staying up late for extended periods and overusing their eyes to prevent the recurrence of dark circles. If redness or swelling occurs after treatment, cold compresses may be used to alleviate these symptoms. It is important to protect the eye area after treatment, avoid sun exposure, use sunscreen, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as getting enough sleep and eating a balanced diet, to sustain the treatment results.
