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.
Juvederm and Restylane are currently the longest-lasting and most durable dermal fillers on the market. Juvederm and Restylane are families of hyaluronic acid fillers with numerous possible formulations.
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.
Juvederm Volbella was approved by the FDA to treat tear troughs under the eyes. It is the currently the first and only hyaluronic acid filler FDA-approved for the tear trough area.
Restylane. Many cosmetic experts are of the opinion that Restylane is the only injectable facial filler that can be used safely and successfully in the tear trough area. The outcomes with Restylane are more natural, more consistent and more predictable compared to other fillers.
Belotero and Restylane both have advantages for the tear trough. Belotero has little risk of the Tyndall effect and is ideally suited for the under eye area. Restylane is injected deeper and tends to last a little longer. The product used also depends on the depth of the tear trough that needs injection.
Typically, only one or two syringes are needed, depending on the patient. Based on the brand of filler and injector's skill level, you can expect to pay up to $800 per syringe. If you are new to fillers, you may need more syringes than others to get your desired result.
Overview. Used primarily for Cheek Augmentation, Under-Eye Correction, Nose Augmentation, and Jawline filling, Juvederm Voluma® can last up to 18 months.
Restylane is a an effective way to improve the look of under eye hollows, and can also be useful in treating under eye bags. If your under eye bags are caused by age-related volume loss, or are due to the presence of small pockets of fat in the tear trough area, Restylane will be able to reduce their appearance.
Ideally, Restylane typically lasts from 9 months up to a year. This is due to the fact that there is very little movement in the eye area. Results can last longer—depending on how quickly your body dissolves fillers and the shape of your under-eye area.
The results commonly last from 9 months to a year, although some patients will be able to go longer in between treatments. It is prudent to get maintenance injections before the results are gone as this will require less filler.
Restylane is more granular, while Juvéderm is smoother. For this reason, Juvéderm is often used to address finer lines and wrinkles in tighter areas of the face such as the smile lines. Restylane – which stays in place better when injected – may be more adept at adding volume to sunken areas of the face.
Restylane-L is the best under eye filler in the market while it's FDA-approved and helps to give that subtle change that will just slightly change the way you look. And the best part is, most people can't tell what changes you've made with this under eye filler filler!
1) Under-Eye Area
Results from these procedures suggest about 8 Botox units will be enough to reduce the appearance of under-eye wrinkles and even bagginess.
The differences for Restylane Lyft vs Voluma? Restylane Lyft is FDA approved for 15-18 months of lift while Voluma is FDA approved for 20-24 months of lift. Voluma is the softer agent and I like using this in individuals with thin skin or with individuals who need a mild lift (younger patients).
The way the under eye filler is placed
As the amount of filler volume lessens, the effect wanes. But filler placed close to the surface of the skin will be more noticeable for a longer period. This isn't necessarily a good thing.
Generally, when performed by a qualified and experienced injector, under eye filler is not overly noticeable. Many will notice your rejuvenated look, but it should not be glaringly obvious that you underwent filler injections. To learn more and schedule a consultation, call us at 425-775-3561.
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.
Voluma lasts even longer than Juvederm – its effects are apparently for up to two years. This is because Voluma is composed of specially cross-linked hyaluronic acid and because it is administered so deeply inside the skin layers.
Juvederm effectively treats the bags and dark circles that can appear under the eye. It offers more pronounced results, which can sometimes make it a good choice for patients with deeper hollows under the eyes. Some patients also choose Juvederm because it offers a stronger concentration of hyaluronic acid.
Juvederm Voluma is also a common choice for candidates with deep hollowness in the under eye area. When correcting midface volume loss, Voluma can indirectly improve under eyes hollows and give the area a smoother appearance.
You may not be an ideal candidate for tear trough filler if you have: Very thin skin. Dark circles caused by lifestyle habits or genetics. Medical conditions that add a risk of complications.
That's because undereye filler, also known as tear-trough filler, would actually level things out and diffuse the dark shadows, something that eye creams, specifically those promising to fix dark circles and puffy bags (which are often hereditary!), could not.
