Enhancements -
Under Eye Correction / Tear
Trough Correction
These days,
many people are enhancing their
faces with injected collagen
and other facial fillers.
Fillers work to plump up areas
of the face and are primarily
used to reduce wrinkles or
engorge lips. However, a newer
filler called Restylane is
being used to treat under eye
circles.
Restylane is a cosmetic filler
that was approved by the FDA in
2003 for the treatment of
facial wrinkles. However, many
doctors use Restylane for other
treatments like lip enhancement
or reducing dark circles under
eyes. Restylane is made of a
biodegradable hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally
occurring substance present in
all living organisms. It works
to provide volume and fullness
to an organism's epidermis.
Restylane is produced as a
clear gel substance that is
injected directly beneath the
surface of the skin. Like most
fillers Restylane works to
plump the underlying tissue in
skin. However, Restylane is
different from other dermal
fillers in the way it permeates
the dermal tissue and naturally
binds to water molecules. The
modified water molecules help
assist in achieving and
maintaining a natural looking
volume.
Because Restylane is made of
biodegradable hyaluronic acid,
over time, Restylane is
gradually degraded by the body
and dissolves without any
residue or trace.
