Miriam Hanson, certified dermatologist and cosmetic expert in Austin, Texas. Dermal fillers comprise a family of injectable medications that restore volume in areas of skin where it has been lost. You may lose volume under the skin under your eyes as you age. You may notice that the gaps make you look tired even when you are well rested.
The skin may appear rough or the wrinkles next to the eyes may appear more pronounced. Your skin may look discolored, especially if you have veins that you can see under your skin. Dermal fillers are located beneath the surface of the skin and are designed to fill, soften and sculpt. Fillers can be made of several different substances, the main one being hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin that helps add volume and hydration (more on this later), while others can be made of collagen, calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid.
Many of them sometimes include a little lidocaine to help numb and compensate for pain. You can visit the FDA website for a complete summary of each item. The main reason for putting fillers under your eyes is to fill a hole under the eye colloquially called, yes, a tear canal, tells SELF Noelani Gonzalez, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and director of cosmetic dermatology at Mount Sinai West. The filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase and the area can be re-injected with the correct technique.
The report looked at all the most commonly used fillers, including Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Sculptra, Radiesse, Artefill, Bellafill and Juvederm Voluma. If you don't like the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles or bags under your eyes, fillers will help you look younger by minimizing your appearance. For example, Allergan's Juvederm Ultra XC is approved for lips, its Voluma XC is for medium face volume loss, and Juvederm is for folds and wrinkles such as lines around the nose and mouth. When skin care fails, many turn to cosmetic treatments for a more invasive and professional option to try to remove eye bags once and for all, the most popular of which is dermal filler.
So it was, and she injected filler into his forehead, under his chin and into the “laughing lines” around his mouth, recalls his wife, Natividad Reyes. Similarly, if the darkness is caused by an emptying of the bone (which only comes with age), fillers can fill that part again. In that case, your best bet is to try a retinol cream, which can potentially help with dark circles and fine lines that form in the area under the eyes, Dr. If, however, darkness is the result of skin laxity from aging or genetics, then a filler can help by adding volume and uniformity to fill the hole of the dark circles without adding puffiness.
Often, patients have eyebrows too high or lips too full, and over time, because fillers are temporary, their appearance will return to the same as before. Since the filling is most likely already partially decomposing, it may not be necessary to inject anything to break it down.
