Dark circles treatment in Vienna

Dark circles have different causes

“You look tired” – patients with dark circles under their eyes often hear this comment. Dark circles can make the face look tired and exhausted even when this is not the case at all, which is why many people would like to do something about these dark shadows.

Dark circles can have various causes. A common cause is lack of sleep or poor sleep quality. Stress, fatigue, an unbalanced diet or lack of fluids can also cause dark circles. Other causes can be genetic predisposition, ageing, allergies or conditions such as an underactive thyroid. In some cases, medication or external influences such as sunlight or smoking can also lead to dark circles. A doctor can make an exact diagnosis and carry out further examinations if necessary to determine the cause of the dark circles.

Only successful with the right indication

Scientific studies have shown that treating dark circles with hyaluronic acid can indeed be promising. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is known for its hydrating and skin-firming properties. When treating dark circles, hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin to restore volume and moisture in the affected area. This can help reduce the appearance of dark circles and shadows under the eyes and make the face look younger and more radiant overall.

It is important to note, however, that treatment with hyaluronic acid is only advisable under optimal conditions. It is the treating doctor's responsibility to ensure that the treatment is carried out safely and effectively. Dr. Handl and his team always strive to achieve the best possible result and will give you an honest and direct answer as to whether this treatment is suitable for you.

If treatment with hyaluronic acid in this particular area is not suitable for you, modern alternatives will be explained to you. There is a wide range of treatment options that can be used depending on your individual needs and wishes to achieve an optimal result. Your doctor will inform you about all the options and help you make the best choice for your needs.

The latest option in minimally invasive treatment

Polynucleotides are the latest trend in the world of beauty treatments. These long-chain molecules are known to stimulate cell regeneration and rejuvenate the skin from within. One example is PhilArt, an injectable gel made from polynucleotides.

Polynucleotides promote skin hydration and eliminate free radicals that can accelerate skin ageing. They also help create an optimal environment for the growth of fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen. Polynucleotides thus ultimately promote the production of new collagen and elastic fibres and stimulate the body's own cell regeneration.

What sets PhilArt apart from other beauty treatments is that it is based on natural ingredients. The polynucleotides in PhilArt are obtained from European freshwater fish intended for human consumption and are subject to comprehensive control of the production chain. The manufacturing process is based on Polynucleotide High Purification Technology (PN-HPT®), which contributes to the highest possible purification and thus ensures product safety.

Polynucleotides have a proven safety and efficacy profile and are characterised by good tolerability and a low risk of side effects. The use of PhilArt and other polynucleotide-based beauty treatments is based on more than 70 years of research presented in more than 100 studies at national and international congresses.

Overall, polynucleotides offer a promising option for those who want to rejuvenate their skin from within. PhilArt and other polynucleotide-based beauty treatments offer a safe and effective way to regenerate the skin and improve its appearance.

Often combined with an eyelid lift

Surgical removal of dark circles by means of a lower eyelid lift is an effective method for very slack skin around the eye area. Protruding eye bags, sunken lower eyelids and dark circles can be treated.

Removing excess skin and fat pads and reshaping the lower eyelid achieves smoother, younger-looking skin. The surgical incision is made along the lower lash line, just below the lashes, and leads to barely visible scars. The operation can be performed under local anaesthesia, twilight sedation or general anaesthesia. Compared with minimally invasive procedures, however, the recovery time after the operation is longer.

After a lower eyelid lift, you should cool your eyes for a day or two and take it easy. You should also avoid sport for about two weeks and avoid extreme temperatures, such as in saunas or sunbeds, as well as intensive fitness exercises.

The course of the procedure depends on the method chosen.
