Prevention and treatment of vascular dark circles

Vascular dark circles are a type of dark circles. Compared with ordinary dark circles caused by staying up late, the symptoms are more serious, and treatment is necessary to completely get rid of them. At present, common methods for treating vascular dark circles include medication, medical beauty methods, daily care, eye massage, etc. The effects will be very good if you persist in doing so for a long time. In addition, you should develop good eating habits and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.

1. Drug treatment

Another easier way to deal with vascular dark circles is to apply various topical medications, such as retinol, vitamin C (increases dermis thickness and improves blood circulation), or vitamin K (reduces blood congestion).

2. Medical beauty methods

Since nasal sensitivity is the main factor causing ocular vasodilation, treatment should also start with nasal sensitivity. Nasal sensitivity refers to an abnormally violent reaction of the nasal mucosa to certain substances, including swelling, increased secretion, congestion, etc., resulting in symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and swelling.

When sleeping, because the patient's nasal breathing passage is blocked, they will breathe through the mouth and constantly change postures to find the most comfortable position. As a result, even if they sleep in bed for 8 hours, they actually only get half or even less sleep quality, which is a bit like a person with long-term insomnia, and dark circles under the eyes arise as a result. In addition, most people with sensitive noses also have sensitive eyes. Habitual rubbing of the eyes can cause edema and roughness of the skin, aggravating the darkness of the skin.

In view of this, if you want to prevent vascular dark circles, you must first deal with nasal sensitivity and rhinitis. Most doctors will recommend the use of anti-inflammatory nasal spray for one or two months. When the condition is under control, pulsed dye laser that treats blood vessels can be used to improve dark circles. The dye laser has a specific 595nm wavelength that specifically targets hemoglobin problems.

3. Daily care

At night, you can apply a hot and cold towel to your eyes alternately to help blood circulation in the eyes. You can also use eye care products containing vitamin K, which can help control blood vessel dilation and reduce vascular dark circles caused by congestion.

4. Eye massage

Vascular dark circles are mainly caused by blood stasis. To address poor blood circulation, you can choose eye massage techniques to help blood circulation, as follows.

① Place the tip of your thumb at the corner of the upper eyelid, slide in the direction of the temple and press the temple, repeat 3 times.

② Slide your thumb towards your temple and massage gently.

③ Use the tips of your middle and ring fingers to slide from the corner of the lower eyelid to the end of the eye toward the temple, and repeat 3 times.

④ Apply eye cream to the eyes, then use the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers to gently massage the lower eyelids rhythmically to help remove eye bags.
