I am allergic to Lidocaine and am looking for an alternative filler. I have been told that only Restylane is the only option and if I wanted it without Lidocaine I would have to order 5 syringes which is much more than I need and very expensive. I am looking much older than my age with these under eye hollows and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles - Fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella); Lasers (Fraxel/CO2); Renuvion; Microneedling/PRP; Peels At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. 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 such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Under eye filler Either belotero or plain restylane without lidocaine work great under eye. Juvederm can also be obtained without lidocaine, however, it is a little more hydrophilic than restylane or belotero and tends to absorb more water. Run, do not walk, out of any offices asking you to buy 5 syringes of any product. That is ridiculous.

Answer: Belotero for Under Eye Hollows Good Afternoon and thank you for your question. Belotero® would be an excellent option as it does not contain lidocaine. Additionally, this product works wonderful for the under eye/tear trough area as it is a very thin hyaluronic acid. Typical duration in that area is about 6 months. It is important that you consult with a highly skilled and trained physician in order to get your desired results. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Belotero does well under eyes, no lidocaine Several fillers can be gotten without lidocaine but Belotero is the only one of those that are easily available to us in USA that I would use that has no lidocaine. It does not last long in lips and other areas but does seem to last a bit longer under the eyes and I have not seen cause any colo change under eyes that U have seen with Juvederm
