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: Challenges of Undereye Dark Circles Dark Circles under the eyes can be cause by many factors including fat loss with increased shadowing, increased vascularity or darkening of the skin. Each one of these poses specific treatment challenges. For shadowing from fat loss you could consider filler in the "Tear Trough" area which would reduce the amount of shadowing Fractional ablative and non-ablative laser may be a good option if it is secondary to increased pigment as well as a chemical peel.

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. If you would like to learn more about your available options, schedule an evaluation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps.

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. Laser resurfacing of the under eye area can work well to improve wrinkling and occasionally to help with pigmentation issues, but this is less predictable. When used in combination with a lightening agent, such as a medical-grade eye cream or hydroquinone, some pigmentation improvements are possible. Often the best result is achieved through a combination of surgery, laser, and topical treatments. Be sure to find a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon specializing in facial aesthetics to review all of the options in detail. Best,
