Although dark eye circles can be due to genetics or even Anemia, some of the most common causes are pigmentation build up, weight loss, thinning of the skin, and venous congestion.

It will also improve circulation to diminish the bluish hue under the eyes. We will offer either HA filler, laser, Dermapen Microneedle, PRP Rejuvenation, Mesotherapy with Growth Factors to further improve under eye skin texture and volume.  Dr. Susan Lin will give you a professional evaluation and recommend a customized treatment option to meet your specific needs.

We offer clinical strength eye creams and topical peptides to reduce puffiness, lighten skin tones, thicken skin and fill in loss volume. Microneedle, laser or radio frequency skin tightening can be used to improve skin tone under the eyes. If needed, we use mesotherapy injection of growth factors to improve skin tone, color and thickness. Lastly, injectable hyaluronic fillers to replenish loss volume in the tear trough to diminish shadows under the eyes.
Many improve skin tone and color with topical vitamin C serum, bleaching creams and eye creams. It prepares the skin thickness so that fillers will look more natural. A good skin care regimen also helps to maintain result of treatments. Â
We use hyaluronic fillers because they are safe and reversible. Restylane or Juvederm.
Because skin under the eyes are so thin, it can take several weeks for the filler to soften and incorporate into the surrounding tissues and look totally natural. We recommend under treatment to avoid overfilling during the initial swelling phase and best to pretreat skin with topical regimen or growth factors so fillers will look more natural.
