When it comes to treating the delicate area around the eyes, there are many different varieties of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel fillers available. These include the Restylane family, the Juvederm family, and Belotero. Restylane is a popular choice for under the eyes because it is very tolerant to the injector. It is not very stiff and tends not to clump or cause discoloration, but it does not provide a great lift if there is a deep tear.
The Juvederm family has newer fillers such as Volbella and Vollure (also known as Volift outside the U. S.). These cause less swelling than the previous variety of Juvederm products and are good choices for superficial (Volbella) and deeper (Vollure) injections under the eyes. However, there is a low incidence of inflammatory nodules (bumps) reported after 4 months with Volbella, which is not seen with Restylane or Belotero.
Restylane also has newer varieties such as Refyne, which has a different type of cross-linking than normal Restylane, making them more “flexible”, which can be beneficial in areas with a lot of facial movement (especially around the mouth). There are benefits to using Refyne in the “crow's feet” area, but so far no benefit has been demonstrated over regular Restylane for the under-eye area. The thinnest and softest version of Restylane is Restylane-L, but it also has the highest swelling capacity. This makes it not the best option when it comes to thin skin under the eyes, which doesn't cope well with significant swelling.
Rejuvenation or tear correction with dermal fillers is popular with men and women who want to look more rested, younger and fresher. Treatment with tear filler is quite painless and involves injecting Restylane, a gel formulation containing hyaluronic acid, under the eyes. Restylane is an FDA-approved, safe, and proven treatment with a great track record of results. When selecting a hyaluronic acid dermal filler for tear injection, factors such as skin type, anatomical concern, texture and thickness of the skin should be taken into consideration.
Restylane can be used on several areas of the face, but Derma Health has found that it is best used in nasolabial folds or lines that run from the nose to the mouth. Results with Restylane are more natural, more consistent and more predictable compared to other fillers. A tear canal refers to the area under the eye that forms from skin that adheres to the underlying facial bones. If you live in Virginia or Maryland, The Naderi Center for Plastic Surgery and Dermatology offers tear correction between its services.
In many cases, tear filler is an effective way to treat wrinkles, hollowed out under the eyes, and dark circles. HA fillers last less time in more dynamic and mobile areas such as the lips but last longer in less mobile areas such as the lower eyelid, tear ducts or nose. If you're looking for an effective way to reduce wrinkles and dark circles around your eyes while restoring a youthful appearance, then Restylane may be your best option. It's an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler that uses patented NASH technology to produce a soft gel by cross-linking hyaluronic acid molecules.
