Juvederm is great for treating some patients with...

Juvederm is great for treating some patients with sunken-appearing eyes. It should not be placed inside of the bone of the orbit, the orbital rim. For some patients with nasojugal folds or tear trough deformities, filling in those depressions can give a very natural and youthful appearance. The amount of injection needed will vary based on the areas to be injected, but generally one syringe will suffice for both lower eyelids. The technique for injection in the orbital rim area relies on a... more

Juvederm for sunken eyes and dark circles

Juvederm injections can be a great option in improving the appearance of sunken eyes and dark circles. We use a combination of different level injections - deep, and superficial. The amount varies, based on the patient, but rarely do we have to use more than 0.5 cc. The product has to be placed precisely, so usually no massaging or pushing the product around is required after injection. Juvederm is a great product for this application, and so is Restylane. I wouldn't use anything else in the... more

Juvederm can help the tear trough (nasojugal groove). Dark circles need more.

Juvederm can help fill in the tear troughs. However, dark circles usually require more than just filler. I tend to treat them with lower blepharoplasties, fat injection and a light laser resurfacing. You can see some results (patients C.M. and T.A.) on my website.

Newport Beach answer to Juvederm and dark circle under eyes

While Juvederm is fabulous in treating the appearance of sunken eyes it does not actually diminish the dark circles. With this said you may have marked improvement in the appearance of the darkened circles by injecting the tear trough deformities. Filling in this area is often helpful as the sunken look exasperates the dark circles. This helps with the shadows and darkness. I have many patients who are models and using Juvederm in this fashion is very helpful as the camera seems to pick up... more

Dark circles under the eyes? Juvederm injectable filler.

Dark circles under the eyes can be due to a number of causes.  Typically, when associated with aging, there is hollow area, the tear trough, that develops a shadowing effect and appears like a dark line.  This hollowed area can be filled with Juvederm or Restylane injectable fillers.  This should be done by an experienced injector.  Too superficial of an injection will lead to a bluish hue under the skin.  Dark circles may also be caused by thin... more

Juvederm and under eye dark circles

Soft tissue filler under the eye is a great "nonsurgical" lower eyelift.  Some of the darkness under the eye is due to hollowing and loss of volume.  There can also be a shadow effect.  These will improve with a filler. Some of the darkness may be due to thinning of the skin, visibility of the underlying blood vessels, or staining in the skin.  None of these will improve with filler. The nice thing about the hyaluronic acid fillers is they are... more

Treating Dark Circles Under the Eyes with Juvederm

Some people either by genetics or age have a hollow circle that develops under the eyes.  Filling this area blends the cheek into the eyelid producing a full, youthful, energetic looking lower eyelid cheek area.  The goal is to make the lower eyelid look like a continuous extension of the cheek.  Filling can be done with temporary injections like Juvederm and Restylane, or permanently with an implant or (if you are lucky and it survives) fat grafts.  While Juvederm is... more

Dark circles maybe from congested veins

Dark circles around the eyes can sometimes be caused by the loss of fat and volume in the eyelids, which allows dark veins to show through -- making the lower eyelid area look blue or black. Restoring volume via a filler like Juvederm or Fat grafts is a good option.  Fat grafts can be permanent, whereas Juvederm can last approximately one year.  Each has advantages.   For Juvederm -- takes 30 minutes, looks great, and is reversible with time if you don't like... more

Improving dark circles with hyaluronic acid fillers

Fillers like juvederm and restylane can be used to correct a prominent nasojugal groove or tear trough region around the eyes. Care must be taken with these injectables as they can sometimes appear lumpy and make the eyelid area have a prolonged puffy appearance. While I routinely use both fillers, I think the restylane does a little better in that area with less "blue" color effect under the skin there. I hoe this information helps.

Juvederm can improve dark circles under eyes

You can use hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane to fill in the areas under your eye. By filling an area of hollowness, you can improve the tear trough deformity and help make your eyes look younger. The technique of injecting juvederm under the eyes is not as straightforward as injected around the nasolabial folds, so you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Juvederm for lower eyelid area

Juvederm works well as a filler for the lower eyelid area in certain patients.  Those who have a pronounced "teartrough deformity" or hollow area under the eyelids can be treated effectively with one to two cc's of Juvederm.  The injection typically has minimal to no bruising and is performed with local anesthesia and topical (cream) anesthesia.  The effects are seem immediately and last for 6-12 months. Restylane can also be used in this area with good results.... more

Juvederm may help under the eyes

Juvederm is an excellent hyaluronic acid based injectable that can be used effectively for facial contouring. Juvederm is commonly used around the lips, the smile lines, the marionette lines, under deep wrinkles, under deep scars, and even under the area of the eye. In our practice, we have had good experience with facial rejuvenation using Juvederm under the eyes. If done carefully, this can plot the area and help reduce some of the shadow and darkness that patients may have... more

Dark circles and fillers around eyes

None of the products mentioned will  treat dark circles well if the dark circles are because of the thin skin over the muscle.  Now for treatment for the nasojugal groove the smaller particle size products like restylane are very good.

Los Angeles Juvederm for Dark Circles

Hi Belroche, Juvederm and Restylane are both great choices for getting rid of dark circles. Usually, this procedure does not require more than a .4 cc syringe, but in some patients it can be as much as 1 cc. The product is placed "under the muscle" with this technique so that no lumpiness occurs.
