Dark circles
I've had really dark circles since the age of 12. My mom and brother have them too and so I guess that they're hereditary. I'm 19 now, and these dark circles make me look much older. Is there any way I can get rid of them permanently? Any treatments like laser or skin replacement? Because i did have a very good diet for a long time and my dark circles did not reduce at all.

Thanks for the query.
The dark circle around the eyes at your age is unusual and could indicate an insulin resistance. Skin is the mirror of internal health and to get a perfect skin you need to treat both ways - internally and externally. See a Dermatologist who will recommend a product for reducing puffiness and darkness and will advocate the correct method to use it. Avoid rubbing the eyes as it will increase pigmentation. Your Dermatologist may request a few blood tests to understand the blood chemistry and treat them specifically. Now-a-days many chemical peels also offers realistic promise- like glycolic acid and lactic acid peels. Dermapen in combination with mesotherapy also helps.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
