What will be the surgical or medical correction of dark circles under the eyes?

Laser surgery:

This is another option for people who are willing to go to great lengths—and to great expense—to rid themselves of the dark circles under their eyes. Apart from the expense, there are major drawbacks to this kind of surgery—it is extremely painful and it takes many weeks to heal. Still, for many people, laser treatment to remove under-eye circles is worth the pain, expense, and risk.

Laser surgery for skin resurfacing has been with us since the Ultrapulse CO2 laser was invented in the 1990s. Although this device had been designed to treat sun damage and to remove skin growths before they became cancerous, it was soon discovered to be useful for removing dark circles under patients’ eyes as well.

Laser treatment destroys some of the melanin that can darken skin, and can also be used to tighten loose skin, or to remove excess skin that causes the appearance of “baggy eyes.” Studies have also shown that laser treatment can also encourage the formation of new collagen in the skin.

Laser surgery to lessen the appearance of dark circles under the eye is not without risks and drawbacks, however. Scarring is one possible risk, and any surgical procedure always carries some nominal risk of infection.

Injections:

These are another way to treat dark circles under the eyes. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons can also offer you “filler injections,” which conceal the melanin and blood vessels that discolor the skin around your eyes.

These injections only last for about six months, however, and they can cost up to $800. They also come with side effects, including swelling, bruising, and the possibility that you may be allergic to them. The swelling is more serious than you’d think, and can last for weeks or months due to the thinness of the skin around the eyes. Moreover, there is also the chance that filler injections can actually make the dark circles under your eyes worse!
