Dermatologist Questions Dark eyes

What can be done for dark circles under the eyes?

I have extremely dark circles and sunken skin under my eyes. Are there any procedures that can help me with this?

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers under and around the eyes have been used for years to elevate and smooth under eye hollows and tear troughs. And when combined with a small amount of a whitish, calcium-based filler can help to lighten the dark circles. Chemical peels and topical prescription bleaching agents can further improve the color. I will be posting a blog tomorrow that discusses under eye filler treatments.
Dark circles are multifactorial. Some people will benefit from filler, some need laser, some need both in combination with the right topical eye cream based on their needs. For best recommendations, an in-person consult is best!
