MeLine® Dark Circle Treatment
Say goodbye to tired-looking eyes with the MeLine® Dark Circle Treatment — a scientifically formulated protocol designed to target and reduce pigmentation and vascular causes of dark under-eye circles. This advanced two-step system combines a professional in-clinic peel with an at-home maintenance product to restore a brighter, smoother, and more rejuvenated eye area.
Meline dark circle treatment is a two-part, professional system designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles around the eyes. It involves an in-clinic application of a depigmenting peeling solution to gently exfoliate and brighten the skin, followed by a professional at-home care product to restore a brighter, smoother, and more rejuvenated eye area.
The treatment plan typically consists of 4 treatments, spaced about 15 days apart.
In-clinic treatment (Step 1)
This is a two-step professional peel treatment. The solutions are applied to the eye area by one of our skin specialists for a limited time before being removed. This professional peel uses a combination of active ingredients that are safe for the delicate skin around the eyes.
The key active ingredients are:
First solution:
Chloroacetic acid: To increase epidermal turnover and promote skin renewal.
Lactic acid: For hydration and enhancement of the skin barrier.
Second Solution
Retinal (Vitamin A): Promotes cell renewal and inhibits melanin production.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C): A potent antioxidant that reduces oxidized melanin and brightens skin tone.
Phytic acid: Inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme (which produces melanin) and neutralizes free radicals.
At-home treatment (Step 2)
This step is initiated two days after the first in-clinic treatment and is continued for at least 30 days.
A roll-on product is used to apply a layer of the depigmenting solution to the periorbital region both in the morning and at night.
This at-home care continues to treat pigmentation and also helps with other concerns like puffiness and dilated capillaries.
Meline for dark circles works by using a combination of professional in-clinic treatments and at-home products to exfoliate the skin, reduce melanin production, and improve circulation. The professional treatment involves applying a depigmenting and exfoliating solution to the eye area, while the at-home component uses ingredients like Tranexamic Acid, vitamins, and peptides to continue lightening the skin, boost collagen, and reduce puffiness and discoloration over time.
