I had a small Restylane injection 9 months ago under my eyes and it virtually eliminated the tear troughs that you see in photo 1 and 2. I need it again now, a doctor suggested skin tightening OR Perlane. I am curious about skin tightening, is it effective underneath eyes or should I just get Perlane?
