What are the treatments offered at VCare for Dark Circles?

Argi Peel

At VCare, we offer Argi Peel for dark circles caused due to deep pigmentation. Also referred to as periorbital pigmentation, some may notice darkening of skin around the eyes in a rough circle shape. This is caused because of increased melanin production. Eye bags and visible blood vessels can also cause darkening around the eyes. Argi Peel is one of the effective solutions for individuals with the above issues.

It is a mild peel with powerful benefits and is suitable for all skin types. It is known to boost cell renewal, improve hydration and enhance overall glow. The peel works by exfoliating the topmost skin layer, resulting in an even toned bright skin around the eyes. It is the best way to fade pigmentation naturally without the application of chemicals.

Dermal Fillers

Fillers are usually recommended for individuals facing under eye wrinkles with or without hollowness. This hollowness can be aesthetically covered through fillers. It is an instant solution to rejuvenate tired eyes. Fillers add volume beneath the eyes, making one look younger and appealing.

As the skin around the eyes is delicate and needs the touch of an experienced professional, choosing VCare would be the right decision you make to address your issue of dark circles.

Eye Care from Home

Along with treatments, VCare also offers supplements and homecare lotion to pamper your eyes at home and even during travels. These are recommended on the basis of the issue an individual is facing. We offer Vitamin C and Glutathione supplements to treat dark circles.
