A member asked:

Is palomar laser skin rejuvenation an effective way to reduce dark circles caused by leaky under-eye veins? can it cause damage to that area?

Dark circles: Lasers and chemical peels reduce dark circles of the lower eyelid by causing thermal injury to the skin, forcing the skin to heal tighter and with a lighter color. These treatments reduce fine lines. However, lasers are risky to use around the eye, although they can be used safely for the rest of the face. I use chemical peels to tighten the skin of the lower eyelid to avoid damage to the eye.
