Hello, I’m a 35 year old male and have been kinda suffering from my dark circles. They run in my family (Indian roots), but people constantly say that I should get more sleep.. So far I’ve had a consultation at a clinic, who advised me to get botox under eye & tear through fillers. While this might help, I’m not convinced that it will be satisfying. After some due diligence I however conclude that I might need PRP & Laser first. Possibly (fat) fillers to fix hollowness. Please advise!
