has anyone heard of this used for dark circles? I'm pretty desperate at this point and willing to try anything.

I can say that I have never heard of this. But I am like you I am almost willing to try anything. I am so tired of these dark circles. They make you look twice has old has you really are.

I haven't heard of this.  Is it an injection, cream, or something else?  I'd be interested to learn more, especially if it's not very invasive.

What's really bad is when they are so dark you don't look twice your age but you look like the walking dead.  That would be me.  I look like I've either got two black eyes or I have something seriously wrong with me (I've seen it in a mirror at the end of  the night).  I could upload a pic if ya'll really wanted to see the walking dead...LOL

Restalyne works in that it fills in hollow eyes. If you simply have discoloration, it wont do much. If you have under eye hollows, it works by replacing lost fat, which causes shadowing. A good PS consult will be able to tell if you need it. And restylyne is pretty safe and the body absorbs it in 3-6 months.

I want to share my experiences in injecting Restylene 3 months ago with my local PS (plastic surgeon). Restylene causes my undereyes to end up with big bulgy eyebags as it plumps up the undereye area. Not only it does not solve my dark eye circles problems, it worsens it. I suspect that the inject damages my veins as my dark circles appear to be even more bluish than before. It only works if you have hollows under your eyes. Otherwise, please don't do it as not only will it cause uneven bulges , and it will not cure your dark circles. My PS is one of the best in town but it don't help. And not to mention, I regretted ever tried it. Just my 2 cents worth.

thanks for sharing, yeah, the main issue I have is losss of fat under eyes, they look very sunken in, and I'm only 21, so its a huge confidence issue, my eyes look fine when I tilt my head back, but when I look straight in the mirror, very dark and scary. I'm already using a thick layer of supposedly the best concealer, but its not doing much, I'm really paranoid about it and avoid eye contact at all costs  because I feel like people are staring at the circles, and not my eyes..
Bleah, I hate this, I'm so jelous of people who have good complexion, acne doesent help either.
Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it?
I bought a magazine few weeks ago and there was a picture of before and after, theres like 2 procedures, injectable eye fillers, fat grafting and removing excess fat/tigtening, but thats for older, sagging skin I assume, but one the one picture the woman looked about 26-30, I'm going to scan it and post here later.

If
Restylene fail, do you need to remove it?
