Bad Tissue Under my Eyes

Malin1984Dec 1, 2010
Hi all, I'm 25 years old and as you can see from the photo, I have dark circles, lines and a deep hollow in the tear trough. I'm following a healthy diet, excersize 4-5 times a week, sleep well, drink lots of water, etc. But I'm so stressed at work my eyes are getting too tired in front of the computer. I use a sunscreen and a moisturizer only; nothing special for my eyes. Considering my age, what kind of a treatment do you recommend? Retin-a, vitamin-c or something completely different?

The answer depends on what the folds are due to.  If folds are due to volume loss, then injectable fillers can be used.  If it is due to underlying muscle action, then botox can be used.  If they are due to poor skin elasticity, then skin resurfacing with chemical peel or laser...
