Did two consults for tear trough area. 1st Dr wanted to inject Belotero with a needle onto the orbital bone. 2nd Dr wanted to inject Vollure superficially with a cannula. Which is method is safer against long term side-effects like nodules and inflammation? So confused with this being a dangerous area for injections! I'm 39, would love your opinions!

Answer: Choose your provider, not the treatment Thank you for your question and I understand your confusion as you try to choose the best practitioner for your treatment. Keep in mind there is no absolute right approach to tear trough filler. Every doctor will have their favorite filler and injection method based on the success they have seen with previous patients. An experienced injector will also know how to tailor this treatment to the precise needs and goals of each patient. I tend to use a microcannula for most of my tear trough fillers since this approach tends to reduce bruising and produce the smoothest results. However, there might be times when I would consider deeper injections with a needle for some patients. I recommend looking at the doctor’s experience, training, and track record when choosing the right treatment for you.

Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles -- Fillers Belotero, Juvederm Volbella; Laser Like Fraxel/Co2/J Plasma; Microneedling/PRP; Peels there are many options for eyes and fillers in this area should be used to liftt he cheeks AND address the troughs. I like belotero, restyale refyne, and juvederm vollbella to the under eyes and vollure, voluma, defyne and radiesse to lift the cheeks. I think at home dermarolling (see link to eye rolling package from emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily) and peels like enlighten help (along with faith essance serum, restorsea eye serum, sente eye cream). in office lasers will make a big difference. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will be the best long term. However, non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels and stem cells can all help give some improvement. I suggest. You get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.
