Circles belong in geometry classes, not under your eyes, right? If you’re battling those relentless under-eye hollows (aka tear troughs), you might be considering treatment with injectable fillers. And while espresso shots might wake you up, they don’t quite fill the bill when it comes to those dark circles.
“Tired eyes” is actually a popular concern that many look to correct. It’s time we take a look at the variety of under-eye fillers, so you can choose the best one for you.
Restylane-L and Restylane Eyelight
Hyaluronic acid-based Restylane fillers are to the under-eye what a good night’s sleep is to Monday mornings. One product with different packaging, Restylane-L and Restylane Eyelight are like the identical twins of the filler family. Thin yet dense, these fillers provide structure without making your eyes look like they’ve been on a water-retention binge.
Belotero Balance
Belotero Balance is that versatile friend who’s always invited to the party. Thin and flexible, it’s suitable for fine lines under the eyes. Some doctors even call it the novice’s best friend, while others compare it to a six-month fling—it dissolves more quickly.
Juvéderm Volbella, RHA 2, and Revanesse Versa
These fillers are like the superheroes of the under-eye league. Volbella has a reputation for smoothness and longevity. RHA 2 is known for its stretch, ideal for the delicate skin. Revanesse Versa, the Canadian star, is popular for its natural look and low-hydrophilic character, eh?
Radiesse and Transferred Fat
We’ve got some outliers in the crowd. Radiesse is the rebel that’s too stiff for under-eye treatment, and the transferred fat is like your customized couture dress, using your own fat for long-lasting results. However, caution! Unlike that couture, it’s irreversible.
Navigating Risks
Under-eye fillers may have a few villainous risks lurking in the shadows. From vascular occlusion (read: blocking blood flow) to the dreaded Tyndall effect, which can give you an uncanny bluish hue, it’s essential to consult with a skilled provider like Dr. Sullivan. After all, it’s your look on the line (literally)!
The Final Blink
Choosing the right under-eye filler is akin to selecting the perfect accessory for your face. It can elevate your look or lead to a fashion faux pas. While the decision is ultimately up to your injector (preferably someone as wise as Dr. Sullivan of SullivanDermatology), having the knowledge and confidence to ask questions and understand your options is empowering. And remember, you’re not just correcting tear troughs; you’re investing in waking up every day looking refreshed—even if your morning coffee is still brewing.
The journey to a more confident you starts with one decision. That is the decision to get treated, why wait?
