I am an African American with dark spots under my eyes. Which dermal filler would work best? (Photo)

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There are a lot of options for this area and i think a combination approach works best.  Filler along with light chemical peels may be effective but I am loving clear + brilliant in this area.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Juan Carlos Fuentes, MD · Answer

A filler like Belotero or Juvederm Volbella will be the best options to fill the tear through area in the lower eyelids, it will make more even the contour between the lower eyelid and the cheeks. The skin color will not change with the filler.

Mark Taylor, MD · Answer

I like Restylane, Belotero or Juvederm for the hollow tear troughs.  The dark pigmentation can be treated with bleaching products such as Hydroquinone, Lytera, Lumixyl,M2 and/or lasers such as the Fraxel 1550, PicoSure Focus, Palomar 1540, low fluency Q-Switched Nd:YAG Clear and Brilliant with SkinCeuticals C & E Ferrulic or vitamin C and the Cosmion Mask (See article in Drugs in Dermatology, January 2013.)  See a dermatologist who specializes in these treatments.

My tear trough filler of preference for all skin types is Restylane. I fill several under eyes per day with this product, with a very high satisfaction rate.For more information, see the link below.
