At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella​), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2​), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

There are two most common reasons for having a dark circle under the eye. Reason number one genetic pigmentation. Reason number two, lack of volume in the cheek and lower eyelid area making the eye cast a shadow on the cheek. In my opinion hyaluronic acid fillers are not a good choice for treating hollowness under the eyes. Fat grafting on the other hand, when performed by a plastic surgeon with lots of experience in fat grafting techniques, can produce permanent the natural results. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
