There are many ways to treat dark circles, as well as under eye wrinkles and bags. It is important to note however, that the majority of times the cause for discoloration is genetic and due to the viability of the blood vessels below the skin.  A  combination approach is always needed to get the best results in this area and this includes: topical skin care, laser and/or radiofrequency treatments, and fillers if placed appropriately with cannulas.  See an expert in eyelid rejuvenation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

These malar festoons are one of the most difficult things to treat in eyelid surgery.  Genetics and your dietary salt intake are probably the biggest causes of the condition.  Usually, it is worse in the morning and improves throughout the day.  A combination of surgery, fillers, or laser resurfacing is usually necessary to improve the problem.  Try to decrease your salt intake and sleep with an extra pillow below your head at night.  Hopefully, this will help to improve the condition without the need for anything invasive at your young age.
