DARK CIRCLES

Many people may find themselves with dark circles or hollows below the lower eyelids. The hollowing effect can produce the illusion of darkening around the eyes. This hollow is referred to as a tear-trough deformity. When tear trough deformities are present without sagging skin, an injectable filler can be used to correct them. A simple, physician-administered injection targets the flaws. It works by attracting water to the surrounding collagen fibers, resulting in tissue plumping. This effect can last from six months to a year, and then it has to be repeated to maintain the volume that leads to a more youthful appearance.
