Artificial skin-not so much.
Dear Stephen
Unfortunately medical science has not caught up to every treatment we can imaging. Presently skin grafting is very difficult to match to the surrounding tissues. Generally the best approach to the dark circle is to add volume in this area with Restylane.

Dark Circles under the eyes cannot be Treated with Artificial Skin
Artificial skin is most commonly used with severe burns or wounds when a skin graft is not possible or needs to be delayed. Placing such skin under the eyes after removal of the darkly pigmented skin will result in a far worse deformity and scarring.
