There are many factors that can cause under-eye circles, including heredity, rubbing your eyes, allergies, sun exposure, and aging. If you’re fortunate enough to experience it, aging does take a toll on all parts of the body. In the skin, the body reduces the amount of hyaluronic acid it produces as you age.

The primary function of hyaluronic acid is to keep our tissues lubricated. Over 50% of the body’s protection goes to the skin, connective tissues, and eyes. Hyaluronic acid is necessary for collagen production, so as it decreases you may notice dark circles under the eyes, wrinkles, and droopy, dull skin.

Restylane injectables are facial fillers that contain hyaluronic acid. While it is popularly known for its use in the cheeks, lips, around the mouth, and the nasolabial folds, it is also used to treat dark circles under the eyes. There are several benefits to using injectable fillers:

Most patients resume their regular activity after the procedure. Some patients prefer to rest for a day before returning to work, but there’s nothing to keep you from your day but your own personal preferences.

Your treatment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your treatment area.

Because the treatment adds volume, you’ll notice immediate results. Expect to see full results by the first week.

Restylane is not a permanent filler. Still, you can expect to see lasting results. Depending on what type of Restylane you get, expect your results to last anywhere from 6 to 18 months.

Most of our patients who want to reduce the appearance of dark, under-eye circles are good candidates for this solution. If you are in good health, have a realistic expectation of your results, and have no severe allergies, you may benefit from the treatment. During your consultation, we will thoroughly review your medical history. Your safety is our priority.
