Is it permissible for a sixteen-year-old girl to go to a dermatologist to alleviate dark circles around her eyes, and is this considered altering Allah's creation?

It is permissible for a girl to present herself to doctors for treatment, as this falls under permissible medical treatment in Islamic law, and not an alteration of Allah's creation. The principle is that a girl should go to a female Muslim doctor, and should not go to a male doctor unless it is unavoidable.
