Non surgical treatment for deep under eye circles?

In reviewing your photos, you appear to be young and have a tear trough deformity. Pigment may play a role but is not a key factor in your problem. The reason for the deformity is a space between the muscles of the eyelid and the side of the nose/cheek. The space gives a tight depression that would only be... more

Under eye circles occur as a result of several factors: Hyperpigmentation of the skin Underlying veins Hemosiderin deposition Thin skin Loss of inferior eyelid fat Surgery can only correct the laxity of skin and remove fat from the lower eyelid.  Correction of under eye circles is performed with an... more

Most dark circles are inherited problems. Many are due to the number of small blood vessels under the thin skin of the lids. At your age a concealer would be a good option.

I do not inject fillers beneath the lower eyelid-they are... more

Hello Denisse, Well you can have "fillers" injected into these "dents" under your eyes, the tear troughs, but these fillers do not last long. To change the color can be difficult using surgery, peels or lasers, but make-up, bleaching creams and sun screens can decrease this color a bit.
