The hollows under my eyes make me look tired all the time, what's the best treatment? (photos)

Question

Am a 32 year old female, South East Asian origin. I feel I would look less tired and sad if I could reduce the hollows/dark circles under my eyes. I've tried a variety of creams for this issue but with no luck.

Hi LeilaD83Thanks for posting and putting up photo's. Its always helpful to the RS community when people share.PRP: Platelet Rich Plasma involves the injection of a patient’s own plasma and growth factors in to targeted areas by a cosmetic specialist. The small injections of PRP can significantly improve the appearance of skin by regenerating collagen production, which can assist in adding volume, improving fine lines, scar improvement. PRP can also address the dark areas under the eyes.Filler: Wrinkles, creases and lines in these areas can be treated by filling the skin with a specially formulated gel ‘filler’. This is injected into or under the dermis (the deepest layer of the skin), pushing up and flattening the crease or wrinkle. There is a very wide range of products currently available and the most usual component in modern wrinkle fillers is hyaluronic acid. This substance is found naturally in almost all body tissues. When injected as a filler, it is immediately effective in correcting creases and is slowly absorbed over 6-12 months.  Lower eyelid surgery aims to address the bags under the eyes. Excess skin and removal or reshaping of the fat smooth’s the contour between the lower eyelid and the cheeks. Your cosmetic surgeon will assess if the procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic.Make sure you seek out a qualified and experienced surgeon.

Dear Leila, the solution to your under eye dark circles is possibly the fat transfer to the under eye region. Fat Fill or Fat Transfer can support volume loss
around the eyes and help restore pleasing contours, with the additional benefit
of improving skin quality. Here, the fat is harvested from some region of the
subject’s body, processed and deposited in tiny amounts into regions around the
eye. Do watch the below video.
