Juvederm Filler Treatment for Under Eye Dark Circle? (photo)

I got Juvederm Filler treatment + IPL for under eye dark circle. Doctors inject filler along the under eye dark circle line usually according to many reseaches and you tube but The doctor whom I saw couple of days ago used long needle and injected through my chick. He explained that this way is better than injecting directly under eye skin and less risky. It has been four days but I don't see any improvement but my under eye got darker. Any opinion from other doctors please?

No improvement of dark circles after Juvederm and IPL

Dear Patient, Fillers, such as Juvederm, are used for dark circles under the eyes to fill in the sunken groove and to fill in the space between top layer of skin and prominent blood vessels that lie under, which give purple-brown color to dark circles. IPL helps to lighten the dark spots from sun exposure that also enhance dark circles. Combination approach is reasonable. However, you may need to wait couple of weeks in order to decide if you need further treatment (more filler... more
