Ageing is one of the most common causes of dark circles or bags under the eyes. As we age, the fat pockets become larger, or protrude, leading to dark shadows beneath the eyes. Other common causes include:

• Allergies
• Dermatitis
• Fatigue
• Hereditary
• Irritating your eyes by rubbing them
• Thinning skin, loss of fat and collagen
• Persistent lack of sleep

We make use of FDA approved Juvederm® vollure brand which contains Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the skin but as you age, its production continually decreases so you start to lose the moisturizing and plumping benefits it provides. The Juvederm® Vollure (filler) will serve as a non-permanent replacement which will help restore volume to your skin, hydrating and rejuvenating your face. Because Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the skin, the filler when injected into the skin blends harmoniously with the skin.

It is injected directly into the skin under the eyes using very fine needles that assures minimum discomfort. Anaesthetic creams are provided if the need arises. After the injection, our aesthetic doctor will gently massage the treatment area to ensure even distribution.

Men and women are both affected by under-eye ageing. Adults of virtually any age can revitalise the eye area with minimally-invasive tear trough treatment. You may be a good candidate for the procedure if you have:

• Sunken eyes
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Tired looking eyes
• Eye bags

Do not hesitate to contact your aesthetic doctor for expert consulting services to determine if your skin type is suitable for this type of treatment.

Within a year, some individuals will not require more than one treatment session. This is usually not the same for other individuals depending on the type of skin and personal goals. Always consult your aesthetic doctor for expert guidance on the frequency of maintenance treatment.

The result is visible almost immediately after treatment. The results give natural effects which include:

• Visibly brighter and younger looking eyes
• Smooth areas under your eyes
• Reduced dark circles
• Eliminated eye bags

The effect of the treatment usually lasts for 9-12 months depending on the type of skin
