I heard that laser resurfacing could help dark circles under eyes. Is this true? What can you do for dark circles under the delicate eye area, without going under the knife to tighten them? They seem to tell me that only a cream might help. I just think there surely is somethig out there that I could do at this spa im at. They offer quite a bit of stuff, but they don't tell me I can do anything for it. Thanks.
Answer: Dark Circles - Underlying Causes & Potential Treatments Laser skin resurfacing can remove dark pigmentation under the eyes, but there can be many other underlying causes and potential treatments:1) Hyperpigmentation: Excessive or irregular pigmentation of the skin beneath the eyes. This can be treated with creams that "bleach" the skin or laser skin resurfacing, which removes the dark patches. 2) Hypervascularity: Blood vessels beneath the skin surface. Certain lasers (V-Beam, Pulse Dye Laser, etc) as well as IPL may alleviate some of these vessels.3) Dermatochalasis: Shadows caused by lower eyelid "bags". Subtle cases can be improved by placing fillers in the shadowed area to the level of the puffiness to mask the problem. For more serious cases, surgery to remove the baggy skin is the definitive option.

Answer: A light CO2 laser can help with dark under eyes Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Will lasers help with dark circles under eyes? Hello,All good feedback from other panel members.In our experience, lasers are not ideal for this condition...including expensive creams and serums. In cases where there is some hollowing or a depression under the eyes, we reach for Restylane filler to perform a "tear trough filler" treatment. By adding subtle volume, we not only allow for more light into the areas when we elevate the surface, but we chase out the shadows. This allows for immediate improvement for darkness under the eyes for male and female, young and older alike. The below link has before/after photos to demonstrate how this works:

Answer: Dark Circles Under Eyes Treating dark circles under the eyes is different for every patient. There is no “one size fits all” approach to eliminating dark circles, so determining which treatment would be best for you is not possible without an in-person evaluation. If your dark under-eye bags are the result of pigmentation problems or skin damage, laser resurfacing may be a good option for you. However, under-eye circles can also be caused by lost volume. In this case, dermal fillers are the recommended option to restore the lost volume and rejuvenate the skin.

Answer: Laser resurfacing for dark circles The most important thing to recognize is that dark circles under the eyes vary from one patient to another. Dark circles may be caused by a shadow effect from bulging of the fatty pads under the eyes, wrinkling of the lower eyelid skin, genetic hyperpigmentation, or medical issues like allergies. It is important to treat the underlying cause in order to achieve the best result.
