- Lack of Sleep: Insufficient rest disrupts skin repair processes, leading to dark circles and puffiness.
- Stress and Fatigue: Emotional stress and physical fatigue contribute to tired-looking eyes.
- Genetics: Hereditary factors can predispose individuals to dark circles and under-eye bags.
- Age: As we age, skin elasticity decreases, and collagen production slows down, causing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to UV rays, pollution, and dry indoor air can also impact skin health around the eyes.
- Chronic Illness: Conditions like allergies, sinusitis, or thyroid disorders can cause puffiness and dark circles.
- Medications: Certain medications, like antihistamines or antidepressants, may contribute to eye fatigue and dryness.
- Poor Diet: Diets lacking in nutrients or high in salt can lead to water retention and exacerbate under-eye bags.
- High Screen Time: Prolonged use of digital devices can strain the eyes, leading to dryness, fatigue, and eye discomfort.

Recognizing these diverse factors enables a more comprehensive approach to addressing tired eyes through lifestyle adjustments, skincare practices, and possibly medical intervention.

Professional treatments offer targeted care for tired eyes, using advanced techniques and beauty technology to instantly uplift your look, rejuvenating and refreshing the delicate eye area with lasting results. These treatments are tailored to address specific concerns like puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.
This special treatment helps to treat most of the common concerns around the eye area namely darkening, fine lines, and puffiness It combines an intensive serum with botanical extracts and peptides along with a specially designed roller (for the eye area) to help the absorption of the ingredients into the skin
A unique peptide gel patch soothes and moisturizes the skin that goes through the dermaroller procedure. Peptides aide collagen production thus tightening the skin and reducing fine lines and puffiness.
Dark Circles is one of the most commonly seen concern by a dermatologist and undoubtedly one of the most difficult to treat. Dark circles around the eyes can make one look very tired or unwell and hence have a huge aesthetic impact. Treating dark circles is a challenge as it can have multiple causative factors. One can have dark circles due to a genetic predisposition or they may be a sign of an internal chronic illness or even persistently low haemoglobin levels. Dark circles can also be caused by high screen time or lack of sleep. Increased vascularity of the skin under the eyes or a shadowing due to tear trough deformity can also give appearance of dark circles.
The treatment will include a customized combination of peels, ultimate eye rejuvenation, oxygeneo eye treatments depending on the skin condition and as recommended by our dermatologist.
Oxygeneo Eye treatment is one of our signature treatments. We have put together a unique and very efficacious protocol that includes the benefits of radiofrequency and peels around the eyes. The radiofrequency helps tightening the skin thus reducing the appearance of fine lines, undereye puffiness and water retention. The peels can be customized to help dark circles, fine lines, etc. The treatment is very relaxing and the appearance of the eye area improves in a few sessions.
Tear trough deformity is a major concern in a lot of individuals seeking treatment for undereye dark circles. Tear trough deformity is characterised by a sunken appearance or hollowness under the eye that results in the casting of a dark shadow that is usually perceived as dark circles. This can make the individual look very tired or fatigued or unwell despite adequate rest, These “dark circles” are refractory to attempts at cosmetic concealment.
Tear Trough filler is a non-surgical procedure that involves carefully injecting a dermal filler into specific areas around the eyes. This helps to replace the lost volume and improves the hollowness of the area. The shadow effect reduces and hence the result is a reduction in the dark circle appearance and improvement in the tired, fatigued look.
Thermage for the eye is one of the most advanced non-invasive treatments for tightening of the skin. It uses a special eye thermage tip and a protective eye shield . The tip delivers radiofrequency energy to the thin skin around the eyes that stimulates collagen synthesis. This helps to improve the fine lines and under eye bags. Most importantly, this is one of the very few non-invasive FDA approved treatments that helps to improve the laxity of the upper eyelid skin and thus reduce the hooding of the lax skin.
It can be combined with various other treatments like botox, fillers, microneedling, peels, etc., depending on the need.
Your eyes are the first thing that people notice about you. Dark circles, loss of elasticity of the skin, puffiness, lines, and wrinkles, however, can make your eyes look very tired and make you appear unwell or aged. The skin around the eyes is very sensitive and fragile and hence the choice of treatments for these concerns has to be done with a lot of expertise. Our eye peels are chosen and performed very carefully by our dermatologists. Eye peels help to rejuvenate the area around the eyes. They lighten the skin, improve the fine lines, wrinkles, and quality of the skin. Though eye treatments usually take a few sittings before showing a good improvement, positive changes can be seen from the first sitting itself. In a few days, the eye area looks lighter, brighter, and rejuvenated.
