As an alternative to dermal fillers, fat transfer from another part of the body can be used to fill in any hollows. This involves a minor liposuction to harvest fat from an area such as the abdomen, and then injecting this fat into the mid-cheek or areas of the face that have suffered from volume loss.
Answer: Under Eye Treatments
I would first recommend a series of Pelleve radiofrequency treatments to build collagen and reduce fines lines in the delicate under eye area. PRP injections would also be a good option. PRP is a form of cosmetic injectable treatment that uses the client's own platelet rich plasma.
A more permanent option is having a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon do a fat grafting procedure, which involves gathering fat from elsewhere on the body (usually the flank or hips) and injecting it under the eyes to plump the skin and correct the hollowness.
Dermal fillers quickly add volume to the under-eye area. Patients can temporarily improve the appearance of tear troughs with a simple in-office visit. Dermal fillers are minimally-invasive and require zero downtime. Moderate tear troughs can be corrected upwards of 12-months or more with soft tissue fillers.
Everyone breaks down filler at a different rate, but on average it would take six to twelve months for the filler to dissolve naturally. If you are very unhappy with the result, your cosmetic physician should be able to dissolve the filler.
Fish oil. Fish oil is rich in fatty acids, making it an anti-inflammatory that promotes healing of damaged cells. Fish oil can be applied by breaking open a fish oil capsule and putting the oil on the skin under the eyes. This should be done before going to bed for up to 4 weeks.
There are potential risks and side effects.
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.
If you're looking to reduce dark circles under your eyes, microneedling will help by increasing collagen to the area and essentially adding volume where volume has been lost. At the same time, the rest of your skin will benefit from the increased collagen.
No, fillers will not make you look older in the long term. If they are injected properly, fillers will actually help you maintain a youthful appearance in both the short and long term, removing wrinkles and lines while adding volume to treated areas.
Non-surgical tear trough treatments can help to mask the eye bags and smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. By injecting dermal filler into the opening points, can fill the groove and lift the tear trough between the lower eyelid and cheek.
When tear troughs become more visible, patients often turn to surgical and non-surgical treatments to achieve a youthful and less wearied appearance. Microneedling can be one option to plump up this area. Microneedling utilizes the skin's natural regenerative process to rejuvenate.
Answer: Eye creams and retinol
Yes, retinol can help with fine lines and to stimulate collagen production in the skin around the eyes. This is one reason a small amount of retinol is included in a lot of the over the counter eye creams. However, it will not help much with tear trough deformity or sunken eyes.
Some people naturally have deep tear troughs beneath their eyes because of their genetics or the natural aging process. These deformities often occur as tissues, such as collagen and elastin, are lost in the area, and the under-eye skin thins. This make the tear trough become more prominent.
Tear trough fillers are largely safe, though no cosmetic procedure is entirely without risk. In rare cases, it's possible for under-eye fillers to cause blindness (this happens when a filler blocks the blood vessel that supplies blood to the eye).
Patient's don't always need the tear trough treated as well as the cheeks. The tear trough can be caused from volume loss of the fat pads that sit under the skin, as we age. Personally, I never treat the tear trough without injecting the cheeks first.
Kardashian said she had no filler, including in her lips and cheeks, “No filler. Never filled either one, ever,” she explained.
Kylie prefers Juvederm, a brand of filler that's owned by Allergan. While there are different types of Juvederm fillers, Kylie's team goes for Juvederm Ultra Plus.
RHA Redensity may be used to reduce moderate to severe wrinkles around the mouths of adults aged 22 years and older.
Drinking enough water each day replenishes your skin's tissue and cells, allowing for younger and healthier looking skin. Another key to maintaining a youthful appearance is to simply get some rest! When you sleep, your body continuously releases hormones that promote cell turnover and renewal.
