Eyes and circles

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But what if the beholder has faulty eyes? You're bound to, if you have a job that involves long hours in front of the computer. Not just that, you also end up having dark circles under your eyes.

Kaya Skin Clinic promises to help you get rid of those depressing dark circles around your eyes. Called the Dark Circle Reduction Service, the clinic claims the treatment will also cure you of puffiness around the eyed. This will in turn reduce the lines and the wrinkles around the eyes too.

Aparna Santhanam, Head, Kaya Skin Advisory, says: "In some cases, darkness around the eyes is hereditary." But it can also happen due to allergies and too much of caffeine and nicotine, she adds.

The Dark Circle Reduction Service, she explains, is a combination of peels and microcurrents. It is a package of 16 sittings over eight weeks, with two sessions per week. Each sitting lasts for 30 minutes.

The package is priced at Rs. 13,500 and is available at all Kaya Skin Clinics in the city.
