Answer
Dark circles can be caused by a number of factors, such as genetics, lack of sleep, bad nutrition, stress, poor circulation and drainage to and from the eye area etc. We have a number of treatments at Skin Renewal, which can deal with these conditions, but we will need to see you for a consultation in order to determine the cause and severity of your specific problem, and choose the best possible option for you. Our treatments options incude; carboxy therapy, under-eye dermal fillers, and laser. We also have a fantastic range of cosmeceutical products such as; Skin Medica- illuminating eye serum, Skin Medica – dermal eye repair, Lamelle’s various eye products, and lumixyl eye cream, to name but a few which could be prescribed based on the cause of your particular problem.

Hi Dr Maureen,
I’m in my mid 40s and generally have a very dry skin. I get small, hard white pimples around the area below the sides of my mouth. While I follow a good cleansing routine, they don’t ever really clear up. I’m concerned that there may be a hormonal cause as they do get worse certain times of the month. Any advice?
Thanks, Sunette

Hi Dr Maureen, I am in my late 30’s and am wanting to find out regarding the under eye. I use makeup 6 days a week and found that under the eye its starting to sink in. I heard that collagen plays an important role, can you recommend anything to plump It out, its not extreme I just want to take preventative measures before its too late.

I’ve been suffering from acne my entire teen and tween years, at some point in my teens it got to a state whereby it was classified as severe acne and put on a very strong dosage of Roacuttane… thankfully it’s cleared with normal breakouts when it’s that time of the month. My main issue is I can never find a product that agrees with my skin or that actually clears up the oiliness and dry patches. Is there a skin care regiment that I can follow or a product that can help? PS: I’m exceptionally hairy as well and low threshold for pain.
