Which is best for treating dark circles under the eyes, Aluma or Restylane?
I have African American skin. I have tried lots of over-the-counter remedies and have not had any success. I heard of Restylane and Aluma, but do not know which is best for treating dark circles under the eyes. Please advise.

Our office generally uses a filler called Belotero for the area under the eye. It is a tricky area, so make sure you have a very experienced injector! Belotero is a great filler for this area because it lays thinly and smoothly. Great for fine lines around the mouth as well!

It depends on the cause of the dark circles. If you are volume-depleted--meaning that your under eyes are hollow--then Restylane would be the right choice. If you have dark circles because of poor lymphatic drainage, I would pick the Venus Freeze, which helps with circulation but also tightens the skin.
