Volbella or Restylane: best filler for under eyes?

Hello,
thanks for your question. Unfortunately without photos I am not able to give you a bespoke and specific answer of your concern.
When it comes to choosing a dermal filler for the under-eye area, in my clinical practice, I have several options available, including Volbella, Restylane, Volite, and Teosyal Puresense Redensity 2. Each of these products has its own unique characteristics and may be more suitable for certain patients depending on their individual needs and goals.
I give you some examples:
- Volbella is a newer product from Juvederm / Allergan that was specifically designed for use in the lips and around the mouth. However, it can also be used in the under-eye area to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Volbella has a smaller particle size than other HA fillers, which allows it to create a more natural-looking result with less swelling and bruising. Additionally, it has a lower concentration of HA, which makes it a good option for those with thin or delicate skin.
- Volite is another new filler from Juvederm/Allergan that is designed to improve skin quality and hydration. It contains a low concentration of HA and a variety of other ingredients, such as amino acids and antioxidants, that help to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. While Volite is not specifically designed for use in the under-eye area, it can be used off-label to treat fine lines and wrinkles.
- Restylane is one of the most widely used HA fillers on the market and has a long track record of safety and efficacy. It is formulated with a slightly larger particle size than Volbella, which makes it a better choice for treating deeper lines and wrinkles. Restylane also has a higher concentration of HA, which makes it more suitable for those with thicker or more resilient skin.
On of my favorite product under the eyes is Teosyal Puresense Redensity 2. This filler is specifically designed for use in the under-eye area. It contains a mix of low and high molecular weight HA, as well as amino acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, that help to improve skin quality and reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. Teosyal Puresense Redensity 2 is often considered a good option for those with thin or delicate skin.
Ultimately, the choice between these fillers will depend on your individual needs and goals. If you are looking to treat fine lines and wrinkles in the under-eye area and have thin or delicate skin, Volbella or Teosyal Puresense Redensity 2 may be good options for you. If you have deeper lines or thicker skin, Restylane may be more effective. Volite may be a good option for those looking to improve overall skin quality and hydration. It's important to consult with a qualified doctor experienced in aesthetic medicine and facial treatment who can assess your individual needs and recommend the best course of treatment for you.

The correct filler depends on the patient need as well as injector preference. Restylane gives great results for the under eye, while Volbella gives a natural result for the lips. However the decision for the correct filler is made after a discussion with the patient and an evaluation of the area to be treated.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Both fillers are great options for under eye treatment, however, it may depend on the deficit as well as the skin type of the patient being treated. I often use Restylane for tear trough filler, but am not opposed to Volbella. I would recommend seeing a provider who uses both products and which one he/she would suggest to best suit your needs and concerns!
