The holidays should be a time of relaxation, but that’s not always the case because the average person is left completely exhausted by the time the holiday actually rolls around. The lack of sleep or rest from all the social activities can add to a tired state, leaving people with dark circles and unwanted bags under their eyes.
Everyone wants to look their best around Christmas time, and a face that seems tired and sleep-deprived will not look good on the holiday cards. Dermal fillers are a great cosmetic option to combat chaos and conceal the effects of stress. This blog will offer more information about how dermal fillers can help with tear troughs.
What Are Tear Troughs?
A tear trough is a depressed, hollowed groove underneath the eye that sits right between the cheek and the lower eyelid. The hollow part usually occurs as a result of natural aging or weight loss, but it can also be made worse by stress, making people look tired. Since stress can affect the integrity of collagen fibers, those dark pits may as well be caused by holiday chaos.
Without the right treatment, fine lines will begin to appear underneath the eyes and around the eyelid. The skin may also look darker, which can be problematic if there are already dark circles in the area. The best way to treat this condition is to use dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC, which can replace the lost volume underneath the eyelid.
Benefits of Tear Trough Fillers
Dermal fillers are injected right underneath the skin, with the gel-like consistency plumping the skin and replacing the lost volume. Since fillers like JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC are made from a naturally occurring substance, they are well-tolerated in the sensitive undereye area. Once injected, this is how JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC can help:
1. Treats Dark Circles
Dark circles can have various causes, including genetics, bad lifestyle, or even allergies. However, most of the time, they are caused by hollowness, which leaves something like a shadow in their wake. Dermal fillers can level up the area, taking away the shadows and reducing the tired appearance.
The light will also shine differently off the skin, making it look brighter and more energized. Concealer may no longer be necessary to hide that dark area underneath the eyelid.
2. Softens Eye Hollows
As the volume starts diminishing underneath the eye, the lower eyelid will remain the same whereas the pit underneath will deepen. This transition will make it look like the eye hollows have gotten larger.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC can help smooth that transition, lifting the tear trough and reducing that sunken, hollow area between the cheek and the eyelid. This allows patients to face the holidays with renewed confidence.
3. Removes Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Since tear trough treatments use hyaluronic acid to fill the hollows underneath the eyes, they can automatically help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Hyaluronic acid can boost collagen production by hydrating the skin from within, filling the areas that cause wrinkles. The skin will seem younger, fuller, and vibrant.
