Hi,

Minimally invasive treatments (needle based) like I-AL and Dermal Fillers can markedly help with dark circles. Non-invasive treatments are less effective. However as far they go I find the following regimen to be one of the most effective:

DCL Eye Refining Matrix - massage into affected area once at night

Seba Med Q10 (eye lifting) cream - massage into affected area once in the morning.

1% Hyaluronic acid serum - apply over affected area twice a day 5 minutes before applying either of the above creams.

Use an SPF 50+ sunscreen 2-3 times during the day and avoid sun exposure when possible.

Drink plenty of water. Green vegetables are helpful.

Cut down on caffeine. Avoid binge drinking.

If you smoke try cutting down or quitting.

Try and sleep 8 hours a day with regular sleeping hours.

NOTE: All of the above are available without a prescription. In general it takes 4-6 weeks to see improvement which then requires regular of the creams for maintenance.

As far as non-invasive procedures go Arginine or Lactic acid peels are helpful - they need to be done once every 2 weeks and help in some cases. As does microdermabrasion (MDA). These procedures are done by dermatologists as well as aestheticians. Stronger peels like glycolic acid are not recommended because of the sensitive nature of the areas involved.

Hope this information is useful, please feel free to ask if you have any queries.

Facial wrinkles are of two types - dynamic (those that appear during facial movement as in smile and frown lines) and static (those wrinkles that are there even when the face is at rest). The only thing that helps dynamic wrinkles is Botox (this is minimally invasive since a very thin 30G needly is used for the procedure). For static lines there are three non-invasive options - Radiofrequency treatments (e.g Pelleve treatment), Thermage (also radiofrequency based) and Ultherapy (ultrasound based). All of these usually require just one sitting to produce significant improvement which lasts for a few years. Ultherapy is then newest of the three and appears to be giving better results, however the other two are more widely available.

Regarding Lifestyle Lift - this appears to be a minimally invasive surgical face lift. All the same there is actual cutting involved.

Again please feel free to ask if you have any queries.

Hi again,

Hope you’re doing well. What you probably have is 100% pure Hyaluronic Acid, the concentration may not be mentioned on it. Here are some examples of 1% Hyaluronic Acid Serums:

About the moles - I’m afraid there is no way to way to get rid of them with any oral or topical medication. They require excision or laser removal.

Please feel free to ask if you have any queries.
