Under eye hollows are characterized by deep indentions, tired appearances and many times dark circles around the under-eye area.

We recommend getting a touch-up before you lose all your results so you minimize the amount injected each time, plus any potential side effects.

Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid.  This is normally found in the skin’s dermis, and with normal aging the skin loses some of this good stuff, causing hollowing in areas where it’s not desired. A benefit of hyaluronic acid in filler is it helps pull water for additional plumping power, so it is helpful for creating a natural look and improving the longevity of your filler.

Under-eye fillers are a very common solution to remediate "Tired Eyes" according to Dr. Sergei Kalsow.  Anyone with dark circles, hollowing or a chronically tired look will benefit from careful plumping with under-eye fillers.

Both men and women often ask if the best treatment for dark circles is eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty. Eyelid surgery is designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits around the eyes, resulting in a more alert, youthful appearance that looks natural. The procedure does not necessarily lighten dark circles, though.

Yes, eye fillers are safe as long as they are done in the hands of an experienced professional such as Dr. Kalsow.  It’s important that your provider is qualified and experienced in injecting the area. This means that your injector understands the anatomy well, risks of the procedure and has been appropriately trained in how to give a natural result. You should see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience in cosmetics for this procedure.

Which H.A. filler your provider chooses is important to the end result. Dr. Kalsow prefers fillers from the Belotero  and Restylane family for this procedure, because you don't risk what she calls the "tyndall effect," or the blue-gray shadow that can occur when Juvederm is placed too close to the surface of skin.
