My Dark Circles Blog Forum

After a round of Lumiere photo facials (red light therapy), I noticed an improvement in my dark circles.  The Red LED light therapy (similar to Beaurer soft laser / Nulase) is not really supposed to completely erase the dark circles.  I researched and learned that some have found great improvement with dark circles & puffiness with High Frequency (Derma Wand or OxyLight).  Also, Sonic Facial Massagers are supposed to offer some improvement.  The problem is that even if I purchase on eBay, I am still looking at spending about $100.  Having just spent $100 on photo facials, and just ordering my Hylexin alternative eye cream, I can't afford it right now.  It is on my list to try one of these out next.  If anyone has had any experience with these please let me know.  I don't want to waste my money on another product.  Also please see the below link for the facial devices that are supposed to help with under eye circles & puffiness.  (Please note that I wouldn't necessarily purchase from this store, as I have found that many of these items can be purchased for less on ebay or at other online stores.)

About me: I have horrible dark circles. They appear to be the leaking vein type since they are dark blue / purple in color (not pigment related). I have had them for years and they are only getting worse. It is probably genetic for me, but wasn't helped by the fact that I suffer from allergies, used to be terribly anemic (vegetarian), and frequently don't get enough sleep. It almost looks as though I got into a fight (black eye). It doesn't seem to make a difference how much sleep I get the dark circles are still there. I only have a little bit of puffiness under my left eye.

Thanks for the information! I have never heard about such a technique.

Unfortunately, $100 is a bit out of my price range for trying something. We need a dark circle experimentation fund!

I wonder why I hadn't heard more about this type of cosmetic procedure before...but if it works, it could very well be worth it...

I have heard of this. But i am not sure if I really want to spend that much money. Right now money is tight for me. Maybe I will check into it later.

I bought the Derma wand recently within a week and I have so say, I am seening some improvements. Normally my dark circles are dark purple but the purple-ish hue is lightening up. I need to continue the treatment but I'll repost in another week to tell you the progress.

Has anyone tried using the Derma Wand on their skin?

Did this treatment work on treating Dark Circles?
