Solution to Dark Circles, Due to Hereditary, Blood Flow, Thinness? (photo)
I have had dark circles since birth... now that I am 47, they are dragging me down, making it impossible to be seen without 3-4 layers of concealer, to mask and blend with my skin tones.. It was recommended by a plastic surgeon to get the lower lid lift and chemical peel - 3500. A second opinion recommended ActiveFX and possibly Restalayne in 6 months. Restalayne alone is an option but he didn't feel it would change the discoloration. 500 each. I think I need a 3rd opinion, risk/benefits..
