Hello, I have very dark lines outside the corners of both my eyes. What can I do to get rid of them? I hate them so much it's killed my confidence. When I speak to people face to face I get very self conscious about them. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer: Dark lines/hyperpigmentation of lid skin, especially outer corners Hello! By your picture, I see three items contributing to that: (1) there is more pigment in your skin there than normally seen, (2) you have some mild hollowing of the tissue there, and (3) you have some mild upper lid heaviness, adding a visor-like shade to the tissue below. For (1), skin-lightening creams (like Melanage Cream with Arbutase, Azelaic acid cream/Azelex, or HydroQuinone Cream 4%-7%, would help Alternatively, the vampire facial using PRP is know to significantly reduce hyperpigmentation, improve skin texture and tone. For a sunscreen in that area, I recommend a powder brush-on such as ColorScience has. For (2), I recommend a filler or volumizer applied near the outer corner of your eyesocket bone. this will help pull that lid skin forward so it is not "in the shadows" as much For (3), I would simply suggest a small amount (~ 2-3 units only, each side) of a neurotoxin (Botox, Jeauveux, Xeomin, or concentrated Dysport) to the orbicularis muscle that is just under the skin of the outer 1/4 of the brow...injecting immediately under the brow.
