Under Eye Correction / Tear Trough Correction in Tarzana
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 enhance lips. However, a newer filler called Restylane is now widely used to treat under eye circles and tear trough depressions.
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler that was approved by the FDA in 2003 for the treatment of facial wrinkles. Many doctors also use Restylane for other cosmetic enhancements, including lip augmentation and under eye correction. Restylane is made of biodegradable hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance present in all living organisms. It provides volume and fullness to the skin, restoring a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Restylane is produced as a clear gel that is injected directly beneath the skin’s surface. Like most dermal fillers, Restylane plumps the underlying tissue, but it is unique in the way it binds naturally to water molecules. This interaction helps maintain under eye volume and achieve a smooth, natural-looking result.
Because Restylane is biodegradable, it gradually dissolves over time without leaving any residue, providing safe, temporary correction of tear troughs and dark circles.
Patients interested in under eye correction / tear trough treatment in Tarzana can schedule a consultation with Castle Dermatology Institute to discuss the best options for rejuvenating the under eye area.
