Hello and thank you for your question and photos. A Fraxel laser treatment can help rejuvenate the skin around your eyes since it will boost the collagen and elastin production in the treated areas, but it will not improve the discoloration under the eyes. Schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your goals and determine the best course of treatment for your symptoms. Good luck!

Fraxel® laser is great for smoothing the lines under and around the eyes. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

i would use Halo under the eyes since it is a hybrid laser that both removes pigment and thickens the collagen under the eyes. 
I’ve also had great success with Platelet rich plasma in this area. It is important to see a doctor specializing in aesthetic Regenerative Medicine for this type of injection because the type of PRP used will determine how effective it is. 
Lastly, working with a functional medicine doctor is the best way to work on the underlying causes of dark circles, which are often a reflection of adrenal fatigue. This will help to provide the most effective and sustainable solution.

Thank you for your question. Fraxel restore nor Fraxel repair will completely eliminate the dark discoloration of the lower eyelids.  It willl help with bags and wrinkles.   This difficult problem is likely caused by the breakdown of red blood cell which darkens the skin. The restore will not have much of an effect on the color while the repair will lighten it somewhat.  You can also try Boletero or prp which should help .
Best of luck
