I Am from Indian Descent and Have Severe Dark Circles and Sunken Eye Problem. Will Restylane Help? (photo)

Deep placement of a hyaluronic such as Restylane will definitely help to soften the deep troughs on the inner aspect of the lower orbital rim.  Don't let anyone overfill the area as hyaluronics pull moisture into the gel matrix and you don't want to overdo the fill.  The dark circle are another challenge.  Most of this is due to vascular congestion and leakage of red cells out into the surrounding superificial tissues.  Wouldn't recommend laser, but would strongly encourage you explore eye creams that contain Retinols, caffeine, green tea polyphenols, arnica and Vitamin K.   Topix Pharmaceuticals make several products for the eyes that have these and my patients love them

You can certainly benefit from injecting Restylane to the tear troughs, this filler is a lot smoother to be used for thin skin around the eyes, this will also help lighten the dark area IF the hollowness from the eyes is creating a shadow. 

 

 

Restylane for the tear trough can yield a fantastic result when the treatment is performed properly by an experienced and board certified physician.  In general, there are numerous causes for dark circles under the eyes.  While lack of sleep is certainly one of them, other common causes include: pigmentation irregularities, sun exposure, visible blood vessels, stress, allergies, atopic dermatitis, pseudoherniation (outpouching) of fat from the eyelid, and heredity, to name a few.  Fat can cause the appearance of dark circles, which can be corrected by fat repositioning blepharoplasty. Some pigment can be treated with laser and/or bleaching creams.  However, if it is too deep the treatment will not be effective.  Surgery can not correct dark circles due to every cause, but it will correct dark circles that are due to the aging process.  I would recommend an in-person consult with a board certified physician. They will be able to examine you in person and provide recommendations based on your individual needs. I hope this helps, and good luck!
