Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcare magic

Dark circles is a very chronic and resistant condition to treat.

I usually recommend my patients to start with the application of cream containing KOJIC ACID 2 percent on the upper and lower eyelids twice daily.This is usually continued for 12-14 weeks to see any significant response.
This is a prescription medicine and you need to see the doctor in person to get it.

In addition in some cases where the response is less than expected or to hasten the response I also recommend my patients to go for sessions of CHEMICAL PEELS. These include either glycolic acid peels or arginine peels.

Besides this they need to take adequate sleep of atleast 6-8 hours, reduce stress levels and include plenty of fruits and vegetables in their diet.

I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
