06 Sep You Might Not Need Surgery for Eye Bags: Introducing Tear Trough Fillers in Scottsdale
Lines, wrinkles, and bags under the eyes are among the first signs of aging. However, contrary to what you might have heard, eyelid surgery might not be the answer. Parson Skin Center offers tear trough fillers in Scottsdale, a minimally invasive procedure that “fills in” the tear troughs to minimize the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and undereye bags. Here’s how it works and why those bags appear in the first place.
The skin around the eyelids is delicate, thin, and always moving. It is also prone to trauma, such as rubbing of the eyes. Finally, studies have shown that even the most vigilant sunscreen wearers tend to avoid applying sunscreen near the eyes (for fear of it getting into the eyes). Couple all of these factors with the fact that we tend to lose “good” fat in our face as we age, not to mention the effects of gravity, and it’s no wonder that the area under the eyes is one of the first places to show aging. However, facial plastic surgery is a big step—what if you could avoid a lower blepharoplasty with the right injectable?
Tear Trough Fillers in Scottsdale
The tear trough is where bags and dark circles appear. Everyone has a different, natural distribution of fat in their face and some have more here than others. Dark circles can be caused by a few factors, including asymmetrical fat distribution as well as a loss of fat (since fat naturally provides some padding that prevents veins from being visible, which can appear like circles below the eyes). Whether you’re struggling with bags and wrinkles, dark circles, or both, tear trough injectables might be the answer.
However, you only want a leading expert taking care of your tear trough filler treatments. An inexperienced injector or the wrong filler can lead to an unwanted appearance. Everyone has some amount of divot below their eyes, and the goal of injectables is a beautiful appearance that is also natural-looking. Parson Skin Center is more than a medical day spa. It’s where you can count on leading professionals in their field to match you with the right procedure, the right products (including fillers), and provide an expert touch.
The Difference the Right Injectable Makes
If you’ve stopped smiling in photos or taken on a serious look in order to avoid unsightly bags and wrinkles, it’s time to take action. Bags and dark circles don’t just make you look older, they also make you look tired and stressed. This isn’t a good look for anyone and can get in the way of success, both professional and personal. Fortunately, for many people, the solution is a simple tear trough filler. Different fillers are designed to last for different lengths of time, ranging from 3 – 6 months and going up to 18 months.
Most dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), which is already found naturally in the body. Just like collagen and good fat, there’s less of it as we age. By injecting HA into the target area, you can instantly enjoy a revitalized appearance with results that are long-lasting. This minimally invasive treatment takes just a few minutes and the downtime is very short. Some swelling and bruising may occur in the days following the injection, but it’s nothing that can’t be covered up with sunglasses and makeup. If you’re looking for tear trough injections in Scottsdale for a big event, it’s a good idea to schedule your appointment two weeks before the big day.
Of course, you can also use dermal injections elsewhere on the face and body. It’s common for an appointment to include a series of injections. Increasing volume in the cheeks, lips, and even the tops of the hands can all contribute to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. There are also dermal injections that are not made with HA, but rather work via collagen induction. The first step is scheduling a consultation so you can discover exactly which approach is best for you.
