How often should you use Restylane under eyes?

When used appropriately by properly trained and experienced injectors, fillers can reduce the appearance of dark circles and help us appear more rested and youthful. When improperly injected in this delicate and sensitive area, the results can have undesirable and even damaging effects. Some products produce better results in the tear trough region that others. Some should never be used in this region at all. Injections can be repeated when the effects of the previous injection are no longer evident.

Restylane can last 9-12 months when injected properly into the tear troughs, fillers usually lasts a bit longer in this area do to less movement around the eyes.

Restylane can be injected underneath the eyes to improve or camouflage the bags underneath the eyes. After injection, the body will break down a small amount of Restylane a day. I tell my patients that some patients will want to repeat the injection when a small amount of product has dissolved. That is typically in 6 months. If they get an injection at that time, they will require less product. If they wait 12-24 months for a repeat injection, then they will require more syringes of Restylane. The decision to repeat the injection is based on the patients' needs.
