Based on these photos you seem to be a candidate for periorbital fat grafting. A combination of micro and nano fat grafts would create significant improvement. Sometimes 2-3 stages may be needed. In person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedure is recommended. Good luck.

Pigmentation around the eyelids is really difficult to treat.
Treatments that lighten the skin are going to be non-selective and will not create natural blending the way your body has.
Any treatments powerful enough to actually work can create very clear, de marketed, treated versus non-treated areas with White on Brown without transition.
This Will look much worse.
Treatments that are gentle and reduce the risk of having the skin go from dark to white are also not going to do very much and give you temporary improvements at best.
Look for laser experts, especially those in academic medical centers.
And your case that would be UC Davis Medical Center.
I would probably check with a dermatology department to see who is their foremost laser expert .
When it comes to treatments considering the impact, it’s probably better to be cautious and do test spots to see how you react to any particular treatment or energy setting.
In terms of volume restoration fat transfer is unpredictable, imprecise and unforgiving in this area.
Fillers are way better, because fillers are predictable, precise, and forgiving, if you don’t like the outcome.
Finding providers who can do volume restoration in the face using fillers really well is another question.
Finding the right providers is often by far, the biggest hurdle, and the most important variable.
Of the two volume restoration is more doable, but there may be IPL or laser treatments that can lighten the pigment the question is, will it look natural and be better than what you have now?
