I have dark circles under my eyes

Q.
Hi,

I’m 28 and I have really dark under eye circles and also hollow sunken eyes. I was short-sighted and had a very high prescription but I got laser eye surgery done so I don’t wear glasses any more, but not sure if high prescription and sunken eyes are even connected. The way my eyes look really bother me, wanted to know if it’s possible to treat hollow eyes with dermal fillers and can they help reduce the dark circles? If so, then how long will the affect of the treatment last?Which dermal fillers would be most suitable for under the eyes? How should I go about finding the right place and doctor in London, to get it done?

Many Thanks

Hi
If the hollowness that you describe is underneath the eye it may be possible to improve the appearance with dermal fillers, however is it difficult to say without conducting a proper examination. Dermal fillers placed under the eye can make the area appear less dark or if a change in the structure of the under eye region is not desired, if the only problem is that of colour, then carboxytherapy can work very well. Sounds like for you dermal fillers may be best though. Generally a dermal filler will last around 9-12 months however in this region 18 months is common and even when your body has broken down the dermal filler, due to induction of collagen the area will never appear as it did before. Most brands of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have a filler suitable for this region and different practitioners prefer different brands, the most important thing is that your practitioner is comfortable using the brand selected as they all have different properties. There is a filler specifically designed for this region which is Teosyal Redensity II and this is what I’d use.
