Beautiful, Youthful Eyes!

Every time you turn on TV and watch a cosmetic infomercial or walk through the cosmetic section of a department store, you are told what to use to hide dark circles under your eyes.Many factors can cause the appearance of dark circles. These include: food allergies, particularly dairy products, kidney disorders, cardiovascular insufficiencies, toxicity and, of course, the aging process. Aging can cause the thinning of the skin around the eyes and loss of "fat padding" in the face, both of which can result in dark circles.The combination of fillers and a fine laser which is used to fragment and destroy the pigments in the darker areas of the skin result in a more youthful, less tired appearance. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and may heal within a few days.
