How can I get rid of my dark circles (genetic)? (Photo)

Question

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!

Hello @Phenomenal272667 thank you for your question and showing your pictures. The cause of dark circle are mainly for lack of sleep, which leads to dilation of the blood vessels, or by the passage of time. The nasolacrimal furrows are a distinctive feature of the face, their appearance is related to different causes:Tiredness, stress, unhealthy lifestyle habits, excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco, incorrect iron production, less oxygenation in the tissues, some allergies can congest the blood vessels, loss of fat around the eyes or genetic antecedents. In non surgical treatments a great option is to have a protocol with hyaluronic acid to minimize the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

Your dark circles are a combination of contour and skin pigmentation.  you might consider starting on a skin bleaching regimen.  You should also consult with an expert plastic surgeon.  It appears from your photos that you would benefit from a very safe, simple surgical procedure to eliminate the hollow appearance.
