Question

I have horrible black bags under my eyes. Changing my sleeping patterns is not an option.

I'm going to be 40 years old in October. Getting older scares me and looking at myself in the mirror and seeing the black bags under my eyes is making me feel depressed.

What can you suggest?

Answer

Depending on the components of the problem (volume, colour) it is possible to incorporate some changes that include:

Volume restoration - fat transfer, injectable fillers

Colour - lightening creams, laser treatments

None of the treatments is perfect, but by themselves or in combination they can provide measurable improvement.
