The eyes are one of the most distinguishing features of our face. Not only do they express our emotions, but the eyes are also be one of the first areas to show the visible signs of aging, and present as fine lines, crepey skin, undereye hollows, and puffiness. Each year, thousands of people seek out the skills of experienced injection specialists for procedures like Restylane® EYELIGHT™, which when injected into tear trough area to help turn back the clock on aging eyes and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Here are four ways to enhance and extend the longevity of your undereye filler results.
#1 – BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® Eye Treatment
Dermal fillers work by adding or restoring volume under the skin. This action smooths and improves the appearance of the surface of the skin. Neurotoxins, like BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®, work by inhibiting the muscle movement below the skin that cause wrinkles on the skin’s surface. For this reason, wrinkle relaxers and fillers are often performed in tandem around the eyes to enhance the effectiveness of one another. Having a product like Dysport® injected with undereye filler can also prolong the longevity of your results by preventing the breakdown of filler , which is often caused by frequent muscule contraction!

#3 – Consistent Maintenance
The dermal fillers often used to treat tear troughs are very thin and soft in consistency. These specific fillers are designed to merge and blend seamlessly into the dermis. Due to the delicate nature of the tissue around the eyes, we would never want to use a more robust or dense filler in this area, as the results may appear bumpy under the eyes. Fillers indicated for the undereyes are also almost exclusively comprised off hyaluronic acid, a molecule that attracts water to itself to create a subtle plumping effect. Your results will vary depending on the product used, the volume injected, and your unique body chemistry and metabolism. You can expect your undereye filler to last up to 18 months. Most patients are treated annually to keep their results looking consistently fresh and smooth.
#4 – Eyelash and Brow Growth Enhancement Serums
Beautiful, full brows and long, lush lashes are the perfect finishing touch to freshly filled undereyes! Defined brows help to frame the eyes similar to a picture, and voluminous lashes bring out the unique characteristics of your eye color.
