Treatment for undereye dark circles and wrinkles in brown skin Asian woman.
under eye treatment
Aug 21, 2018
HI,Thank you for your inquiry and photos.  From looking at your photos you seem to be a good candidate for under eye dermal filler.  In my practice I only use Volbella in the tear trough area, this is a thin fine filler that is great for thinner skin areas.  There could be a little down time with this due to bruising but otherwise this is the easiest and simplest treatment for this area.  I suggest you visit a practice with a trained injector in dermal fillers.
19 and have awful dark circles under my eyes, what can I do to help?
