Restylane under eyes
Definitely Restylane will improve the hollows. As to pigmentation, that's another issue. but it does appear you have a volume deficiency that would respond easily to Restylane.
At your age you may be one of many young people who don't pay particular attention to the amount of sleep you get, but lack of sleep will obviously make you look tired.
Taking good care yourself is as important as fixing an appearance problem. So I hope you are doing that already.

Dermal Fillers for Tear Troughs
Yes, Restylane would be a good solution to temporarily smooth out your tear troughs. When injected properly, Restylane will tighten the skin and add firmness to revitalize the area below the eyes and get rid of that tired look. Restylane may cause a bruise like effect called tyndall’s effect. Radiesse on the other hand would not. The video shows an example.

Restylane and tear troughs
From the photo's you've posted, you are referring to "tear troughs" but without seeing you in person to determine actual volume loss versus hyperpigmentation, it's difficult to tell how much correction you'd see with a dermal filler. Consulting with a well-trained and experienced injector will give you options.

Tear troughs
Yes these are tear troughs. Tear troughs are the hollow areas beneath the area of lower eyelid fullness/fat. You do have a slight protrusion of the lower eyelid as well. You can see tear troughs in people even as young as you. Restylane can be used to fill in the hollow area. I suggest you see a specialist in your area for consultation.

Improving Tear Troughs
The tear troughs you are referring to are common, even amongst people in their 20s. Restylane can be used under the eyes to address the tear troughs and create a smoother surface and refreshed appearance if done by a specialist. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Tear troughs
Your deep tear troughs can be treated with fillers or fat transfer. As well, there are some radio frequency treatments out there that can make small changes to this area by increasing the collagen in the skin. This creates thicker skin and the vessels appear less visible under the skin. This means the coulour you see will be decreased. The softening created by radio frequency treatments can sometimes be enough for the patient. In the case that you want a more...

Lower eyelid bags versus tear trough (dark circles)
You have lower eyelid hollows underneath your lower eyelid fullness (fat). This hollow area is termed tear troughs. It can be hereditary and/or worsen with age. The treatment depends on exactly how much fullness (fat) relative to hollowness (dark circle or tear trough) the person has. If it is more fullness than hollowness, then lower blepharoplasty is the best option. If is more hollowness than fullness, then filler injection is the better answer. See an oculoplastic surgeon for...

Genetic Tear Trough
When young people have deep tear-trough area it is a problem with skeletal deficiency. While this can be partially corrected with "dermal" fillers, it will be temporary. I put dermal in quotations, because you would never put the filler into the dermis (skin) in the lower eyelids, it always is placed deeply in this area since the skin itself is far too thin and delicate to accommodate fillers. Fillers in this area should include only the hyaluronic acids...

Treatment of undereye bags
Options for treatment of this area typically include dermal filler injections (Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero) which are temporary lasting up to 12 months or surgery to remove some of the fat and fill in the hollow below the bag. In experienced hands, both are highly effective. Given your young age you might prefer to start with dermal filler as it is an in-office procedure and does not require surgery. However, if you're seeking a permanent "fix" surgery is the only option at this point. I...

Strongly do not recommend fat for this.
Under eye fillers are the way to go. A single treatment session can provide help for up to 2 years. You volume need will change over time. The Restylane service can be adjusted as needed. Grafted fat can't be adjusted. Keep in mind you need to find a highly experience injector to get the best result.

Yes, restylane can definitely help under the eyes, but only with a very excellent injector.
Restylane can definitely help with under the eye circles, but it is very technically challenging. I like to say that it is what distinguishes a master injector.
There are many people who come to me after bad examples of using it and have months or years of recovery issues, so pick your surgeon wisely and make sure they are board certified and do this all the time and are artists. Price will not make up for years of issues.

Tear troughs treatment options
These are tear troughs and quite characteristic even though you are young and only 24 years old. This can be treated with Restylane or autologous fat transfer if it gets worse. You should have a cosmetically desirable outcome with either procedure.

Restylane for tear troughs?
I appears from your pictures as though there may be a mild degree of fat protrusion on your lower eyelids, which causes an area of depression underneath it. The problem may be hereditary in nature so can occur in people your age (24). Restylane can be used to fill in the depressed area and improve the appearance. Ultimately, you may decide to have surgery to remove some of the fat, but since it is currently fairly mild, I would recommend going with the Restylane for now.
