How to Treat Inherent Dark Circles Under the Eyes?

I am so frustrated with my dark circles. I have had them all of my life. I even recall my mother asking doctors as a child about it. I thought IPL/Fractional may be a solution, but reviews are mixed. I'm 30 yo-male, 1st-generation Italian-American.

I went to an allergist thinking that may help, but it didn't. I am at the moment of my life where I don't want to feel ugly anymore. I'm frequently asked if I'm sick/didn't sleep/high and I hate it. Now I just respond "I just have ugly eyes".

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! HELP!
