Hi, Male, early 20s, South Asian I have had dark circles around my eyes from a very young age and my family members do too at varying degrees (although, mines are significantly darker than my family) making me believe that they are hereditary. I have had numerous treatments to combat this: - 6× microneedling with custom serum (that includes kojic acid, tranexamic acid and other ingredients that helps combat dark circles) applied right after (to help with absorption) along awith aftercare creams and serums - Hydroquinone prescribed - Dermal fillers (to help the shadow effect) - 6x clearlift laser with mesopeels after each session. None had a noticeable impact although the dermal filler did help with the shadowing effect marginally. Based on my type of dark circles and the treatments I have already had, I was wondering what you think would be best to address the dark circles? Best regards
