Every wonder how dark eye circle removal can be done? Let’s face it, dark eye circles make us look tired unwell and older. Unfortunately, the best eye creams and skincare have only a mild effect and most act as concealers.
How fresh we look can affect how fresh we feel. Of course, we can first understand the various causes of dark eye circles and adopt changes in our lifestyle to resolve eye circles. (like having adequate sleep and reducing fluid retention)
However, if the appearance of dark eye circles persists despite our best attempts it might be worthwhile to consider dark eye circle removal treatments. Many of such dark eye circle treatments in Singapore are simple office procedures, non-invasive and non-in with excellent safety and recoveries.
Dark eye circles are the darkening of the skin surrounding the eyes. A dark circle are to be differentiated from eye bags which are puffiness under the eye. The treatments for eye bags are also different.
Sunken eyes are hollowness around the eye area that is due to a lack of fat tissue. As a result, dark eye rings are obvious and makes the eyes also look tired and fatigued. These are also known as “tear troughs” (as the tear flows along these grooves). Fillers or threads work wonderfully to reduce the appearance of sunken eyes and tear troughs.
The skin surrounding the eyes is typically very thin. It is in fact 4 times thinner than the skin in the rest of the body. As we age we lose collagen in the skin and also the cheek fat. As a result, fine lines form more easily and the dark blood vessels under the skin become more obvious. The loss of cheek fat makes the eye area appear more hollow and the face more skeletal in appearance.
As we lose weight we also lose facial fat. The volume loss of cheek fat draping below the eyes makes the eyes look more sunken
It is likely that if you have dark eye circles, someone in your family might also have the same issue. Certain races have more deep-set eyes and therefore have more shadows under the eyes to make them look sunken. Darker complexions might have more pigmentation around the eye area due to a higher amount of melanin in the area.
An injection to sculpt the nose? 14 years ago when nose fillers were first introduced to the Singapore aesthetic market, it would seem to be too good to be true.After all, back then, only surgery or rhinoplasty was the only means of nose augmentation.Nose fillers are a non-surgical nose augmentation with the injection of filler materials, the commonest being hyaluronic acid. It is suitable for patients who are not ready for surgery either because they cannot accept the surgical risks like scarring or the surgical costs.It is also suitable for noses that only need a mild to moderate augmentation of the nose bridge and a mild refinement of the nose tip.Surgery is still the treatment of choice for noses that have very flat nose bridges, depressed nose tips and large round alars (nostrils).
Since then nose fillers have gotten very popular in Singapore especially among younger patients.However recently, its popularity has declined because of reports of eye blindness associated with nose fillers.

What it involves is the administering of fine absorbable threads over the under-eye area. The threads not only have a “filling” effect of reducing the appearance of sunken eyes and dark eye circles. It also stimulates collagen production in the eyebag area and causes tightening of the lower eyelid’s skin and the eye bags. There is a “whitening” effect on the eyelid skin, thereby reducing the appearance of dark eye circles.
There is a minimal risk of under-eye threads damaging any important structures as long as the threads are inserted at the right tissue plane. Thread extrusion, which is the threads sticking out of the skin, can occur if the threads are places wrongly and too superficially.

Temperatures are raised high enough (beyond 70 degrees) to coagulate the fat and also to liquefy it. As the radio frequency was delivered shot by shot in a very controlled, safe manner, the treatment helps to get rid of excess fat without the risk of the heat spreading to the surrounding tissues to cause any damage. Agnes eyebag offer distinctly visible results in each session.
