The eyes have long been likened to windows—but the eyelids<\/em>, anatomists argue, may be even more revealing. It’s here that we have “the thinnest skin of the entire body,” says Dr. Jason Bloom<\/a>, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. It’s so diaphanous, it can hardly conceal the anatomy beneath. “The orbicularis muscle [encircling the eye] can show through the [lower lid] skin as a darker, redder area,” he notes. Similarly, the vast network of blood vessels residing here may radiate an inky indigo, especially in fairer skin types. And as the fat pads around the eyes wear thin, the resulting volume loss exposes shadowy hollows that no eye cream can fix.  <\/p>

Given the tear trough area’s irregular terrain and sheer quality, plumping hyaluronic acid fillers<\/a>, such as Juvéderm<\/a>, Restylane<\/a>, and Belotero<\/a>, can often impart a sort of filter effect, leveling valleys for a more even tone, filling out crepey fine lines, and helping to boost collagen production in the long-term. “One syringe can be so brightening,” Dr. Bloom says. When this nonsurgical, no-downtime rejuvenation treatment is done right, “patients get this wow result.” <\/p>

You may recognize her from the office, but my young medical assistant was bothered by her undereye darkness, hollowing and shadowing. A single syringe of hyaluronic acid filler helped to restore volume and contour to her lid-cheek junction, giving her a more refreshed look. #undereye #filler #injectables #hellobrighteyes #aesthetics #hyaluronicacid #undereyefiller 👁 👁 🔥 @drjbloom @bloom.facial.plastics<\/a><\/p>
