Can Dermal Fillers Rejuvenate Puffy Eyes?

Have you started to notice that your eyes look tired and puffy? The eyes might be the windows to the soul, but they are also one of the first facial features to start showing age. Dermal fillers hold the promise of rejuvenating puffy eyes.

As you age, your eyes can start to take on a shadowed appearance with mild puffiness, dark circles, deepening tear troughs, under-eye hollowness, and other shadows. The most prominent sign of eye aging is the loss of youthful volume that takes place between the lower eyelid and upper cheek. Some opt to have fat removed from the area, but this only worsens the hollowness. Dr. Ladie Araña-Domondon at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics in Puyallup, WA offers dermal fillers to rejuvenate puffy eyes.

Restylane is a form of dermal filler that helps restore the lost volume around your eyes. The dermal filler is also favored as a popular lip filler. It is widely used for a variety of facial contouring and lip augmentation.

All about Restylane

Restylane is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural substance found in our bodies. As you age, your body slows down the production of HA, and your face starts to lose volume. Restylane is a dermal filler and is recommended for use in individuals over 21 years of age. It is a non-animal-based product, so you do not have to undergo allergy testing prior to undergoing Restylane dermal filler injections.

Dr. Araña-Domondon at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics in Puyallup, WA administers Restylane using a fine needle that helps lessen discomfort. Before treatment, the team at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics will often numb the skin with ice packs or numbing creams to reduce the discomfort of the injections.

Typically, the injections of Restylane dermal filler take less than an hour, but the time does vary depending on the patient’s cosmetic goals. More significant use of the dermal filler in the eye area will take longer than other, simpler cosmetic procedures.

How long does it take to recover from Restylane?

Most people tolerate Restylane injections well.

Common side effects include:

• Redness at the injection site

• Tenderness

• Bruising

The results of Restylane injections are almost instantaneous. You'll almost immediately notice younger facial features. The results of Restylane will take up to six months before they start to fade. However, everyone is different. Once the results begin to fade, you might need to undergo follow-up treatments to maintain your looks.

Is there any downtime with Restylane injections?

One of the best things about Restylane injections is that there is no significant downtime, unlike other cosmetic procedures. Many people return to work the same day after undergoing Restylane injections to restore volume in the eye area. However, you should avoid extensive exercise or strenuous activities for at least 24 hours, such as running and swimming, to reduce the likelihood of bruising or swelling.
