Question

Would I have to get filler or fox eye lift? When I lift my eyes the dark circles go away . I don't know what to do with the smile lines though they are dark and I'm 18

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.

Hello, dark circles under the eyes can be treated with a variety of modalities and it best to see a credentialed provider to evaluate you. Often dark circles are due to volume loss/hollowing which can be improved with filler to the under eyes. However, this will often not fully address the darkness since it is often also due to some pigment in the skin itself which is creating a dark hue. This pigment or dark skin can be improved with medical grade skin care (eye creams which have caffeine). Also procedures such as microneedling to this area can improve the collagen and also improve the appearance of dark circles. Often a combination of treatments here works best.

Fillers are a great tool to help with under eye contouring.  Visit with an experienced injector to discuss your concerns and learn more about your options.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.
