I have have hollows under my eyes since birth - but the darkness of this area has gradually worsened over the years and now it has reached a very bad stage. I'm 23 now and my appearance is very important to me - I shy away from all social situations because of this condition.

Please suggest a suitable treatment for this - I am scared of cosmetic fillers and am unsure hw effective microneedling can be.
