Can you use Juvederm for under eyes? Yes! Juvederm Volbella is the only dermal filler that is FDA approved for replacing volume loss in the delicate tear trough area for under eye hollows. The infraorbital hollows cause one to look tired and older than their actual age.
An under-eye filler is a cosmetic procedure that uses hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero) to treat dark circles under your eyes. Deep tear troughs can cause shadows that mirror dark circles. Also known as a tear trough, under-eye fillers can help with a tired or sunken appearance and deep indentations.
Since they're transparent, easy to smooth, and less likely to clump, hyaluronic acid fillers are the most common filler type used in the under-eye area. Hyaluronic acid provides the shortest result of all the fillers but is considered by some practitioners to provide the most natural look.
Common side effects include bruising and swelling, and nodules and bumps under the eye can occur. “Blindness is a rare side effect if the filler enters a blood vessel of the eye and occludes it,” she says, hence the importance of seeing a well-trained injector.
Juvéderm Volbella XC is specifically approved to treat the eyes' volume loss that contributes to dark circles. Tiny needles are used to inject under-eye fillers. Several injections might be needed around or beneath the lower eyelid. This is typically done in a doctor's office with a topical numbing cream.
As fillers attract water, it can result in under-eye swelling where the solution is placed too close to the surface. The choice of filler product must also be carefully selected, as there are different types and they vary in the amount of water they attract and, therefore, the potential they have to cause swelling.
Although rare, complications from dermal fillers can be devastating. The most serious complications are vascular. Vascular occlusions can lead to necrosis (tissue death), scarring and, even more seriously, blindness. Indeed, dermal fillers have already led to 98 reported cases of blindness (Beleznay et al, 2015).
In some cases, facial filler injections that are placed underneath the eyes can lead to additional swelling, and can make a festoon pocket appear more evident or larger. At times, the festoon pocket may persist for a longer period even after an unwanted facial filler product is dissolved with hyaluronidase.
If you're looking to a dermal filler to combat signs of aging, your mid-20s is often a good time to start. Your body starts to lose bone and collagen around age 26, so it's a good time to begin maintenance injections. By starting early, you'll use require less product than if you wait until your mid-50s.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
Once under eye filler wears off it will not cause more wrinkles, but your skin will resume the appearance it had prior to the filler injections.
Answer: Under Eye Fillers
The area under the eye is very delicate and needs to be handled with care and precision. Most patients need about 1-2 syringes of dermal filler to achieve the desired result, but this could vary per individual.
In most patients, the swelling is much better after 4-5 days, but there can be milder swelling which takes weeks to resolve completely. Under eye fillers can often look lumpy after the procedure. The lumpy appearance usually continues to improve over the 2-3 weeks after the procedure.
If a patient has bags that significantly fluctuate with factors such as sleep, alcohol, or salt intake they may not be a candidate for under eye filler. This type of bag is typically lymphatic related and is very responsive to fluid within the tissues. Filler is known to be hydrophilic, meaning it loves water.
It's also important to remember that tear trough fillers are temporary. You'll need repeated treatments if you wish to maintain the effect. Many people repeat the injection every 1 or 2 years.
One syringe of Juvederm is sometimes sufficient for mild nasolabial folds. For lip augmentation, one syringe will sculpt and enhance the lips. The change will be noticeable but subtle. Two syringes will give a more dramatic size increase and enhancement.

Avoid drinking alcohol or partaking in strenuous exercise, as it may result in additional bruising. Until the swelling and redness have resolved, avoid intense heat in the treated area(s). This includes sunbathing, tanning, saunas, hot tubs, or hot wax. Also avoid extreme cold such as skiing or other winter sports.
Botox injections in the crow's feet can help address under-eye bags as well, but similarly to laser treatments, they will only address the surrounding skin and won't get rid of the bags themselves.
