I've had dark circles for several years now and haven't really been able to find anything that reduces their appearance much. I've tried some peels, IPL, and even some minor microneedling in the area, but haven't noticed much difference. I'm interested in hearing of any potential options that may exist to address them.

Answer: Treatment for Dark Circles Hi and thank you for your question! The treatment for dark circles really depends on the underlying cause. If it is caused by congestion or actual skin darkening, treatments that affect pigmentation such as peels or IPL might help. However if the root cause is volume loss that creates a shadow, then your best bet is to do volume restoration with fillers that can greatly help. You can try for yourself to see if by shining light upward on your face, the appearance of dark circles is reduced or not. If they look better, then it you will be likely to see improvements with fillers under the eyes. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: There's no cure for "allergic shiners"... Dark purple discoloration involving delicate under eye skin is usually due to years of having an allergic nasal condition. This may lead to hemosiderin deposition deep in the under eye area, and to my knowledge, there is no good treatment for this. Peels, microneedling, IPL and laser treatments will not help. Thank you.
