Dermafrac™: An Innovative New Treatment for Periorbital Melanosis in a Dark-Skinned Male Patient

Periorbital melanosis (under eye dark circles) is an often idiopathic cosmetically disturbing condition that is poorly responsive to currently available treatment modalities. We present the case of a 48-year-old man (skin phototype V) with significant idiopathic periorbital melanosis and who had good to excellent reduction in periorbital melanosis with the new DermaFrac™, which combines microneedling with simultaneous infusion of a serum containing active ingredients. The possible mechanisms of benefit are discussed. DermaFrac™ may be an innovative and effective new treatment option for patients with periorbital melanosis.
