QUESTION:

I read that fillers can be used (off-label) to eliminate dark circles - have you done this and if so, what was the result?

ANSWER:

The appearance of dark circles under the eyes is often due to loss of collagen in the skin and decreased underlying support of fat, muscle, and bone. Fillers in this area improve the architecture and help to stimulate collagen, resulting in less shadowing and improved skin texture. Hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Belotero, and Juvederm) is most commonly used. Topical products such as retinol and vitamin C will also help to preserve the collagen content.
