Do you look tired even when you feel rested and energetic? Dark circles, under-eye bags, and deep tear troughs are common cosmetic concerns that can give your face a fatigued, aged appearance. At Creative Dentistry & Medspa, with locations in Atlanta, Alpharetta, and Covington, GA, we offer dermal filler injections to help you achieve a refreshed, youthful look. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution that can smooth out tear troughs, reduce shadows, and restore lost volume under the eyes, helping you look as vibrant as you feel.
Why Do We Develop Dark Circles and Deep Tear Troughs?
The delicate skin around the eyes is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Over time, factors such as genetics, collagen loss, and lifestyle habits can contribute to a sunken or shadowed appearance around the eyes. Key causes include:
- Volume Loss: As we age, we lose fat and collagen in the face, especially around the eyes and cheeks. This can cause hollows or deep tear troughs under the eyes.
- Thinning Skin: The skin under the eyes is already thin and becomes thinner with age, making blood vessels more visible and contributing to dark circles.
- Fluid Retention: Poor sleep, stress, and diet can cause puffiness or under-eye bags, further enhancing the tired look.
Even those who are well-rested can struggle with these issues due to natural facial structure and aging.
How Dermal Fillers Combat a Tired Appearance
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that retains moisture and boosts skin volume. Fillers such as Restylane® or Juvederm® are often used to correct under-eye concerns. By carefully injecting filler into the tear troughs or hollow areas beneath the eyes, our skilled professionals can:
- Restore Volume: Fillers plump up sunken areas, reducing the appearance of shadows and dark circles.
- Smooth Tear Troughs: Deep grooves or indentations under the eyes are softened, creating a more youthful and awake appearance.
- Reduce Eye Bags: Strategically placed filler can create a more even surface between puffy areas and surrounding skin, minimizing the appearance of bags.
- Enhance Skin Hydration: Hyaluronic acid fillers attract moisture, helping the under-eye area look more vibrant and refreshed.
The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, with results that can last 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used.
Quick, Minimally Invasive, and Effective
Dermal fillers are a popular choice for under-eye rejuvenation due to their convenience and minimal downtime. In 2023 alone, more than 5.2 million dermal filler procedures were performed in the U.S., according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Many patients choose fillers because they provide immediate results with few side effects. Common side effects include minor swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.
Additionally, unlike surgical procedures, filler injections do not require anesthesia or extended recovery time. Patients can return to their daily activities almost immediately after treatment.
Am I a Good Candidate for Under-Eye Fillers?
Dermal fillers are suitable for most individuals who want to reduce the appearance of dark circles, eye bags, or deep tear troughs. Ideal candidates are those who:
- Have hollow or sunken areas under the eyes
- Experience persistent dark circles unrelated to pigmentation
- Have mild to moderate under-eye bags
- Want a non-surgical, temporary solution
However, fillers may not be ideal for patients with severe skin laxity or excess under-eye fat. During your consultation at Creative Dentistry & Medspa, we will evaluate your facial structure and discuss your goals to determine the best treatment plan for you.
