Non-invasive Treatments for Dark Circles Under Eyes?

I am an Asian female in her late 20's (medium toned skin) and was wondering how to treat or at least improve dark circles under the eyes. I do not want to inject nor have surgery on them which I know is a popular option. My circles are the only problem, I do not have any excess fat or bags under the eyes. It seems that my skin under my eyes is really thin making my dark circles more prominent. I am looking for laser procedures if that is possible? Thank you.

You might just need sinus medication

Darkening under the eyes can be from sinus congestion causing a bluish hue under the skin that shows through if the skin is thin. Taking oral antihistamine/decongestants, using retinoids and peptides to thicken and strenghten the skin may improve this non-invasively. If pigment is also a factor, the retinoid creams should also help brighten the skin as well. Good luck.
