One of the biggest complaints that people have are the dark circles under the eyes. There are many different causes of darkness under the eyes, such as being tired, lack of volume under the eye, thinning skin, blood vessels, dehydration. Unfortunately there are no creams out there that will cover this up or make it better. Most people are not aware that there is a simple fix. By placing dermal fillers under the eyes, called the tear troughs, this restores lost volume. In most people, there is a fat pocket in this area that keeps it full and plump. Many people have had sunken in areas around there eyes for many years, while others notice it later in life. As we age, we loose fat (deep fat and superficial fat), by simply replacing the lost volume it will bring about a more youthful appearance.
Our technique is different… We use what is called a “Microcannula” to access the area under the eye. Why is this important? By using a microcannula, it travels under the skin and is a small flexible tube. Due to the flexibility, the microcannula will not puncture blood vessels as easily as a standard hypodermic needle. For this reason, areas that were thought to be too difficult to get to, can now be easily accessed.
