HOW TO TREAT UNDER-EYE PUFFINESS & DARK CIRCLES

HOW TO TREAT UNDER-EYE PUFFINESS & DARK CIRCLES

Under-eye changes are inevitable as we age, however, some treatments and products can help reduce under-eye puffiness, sagging and dark circles. We will break down the best products, and non-invasive & surgery options Virginia Institute offers.

TREATMENTS

We offer a few different options to help treat the under-eye; Microneedling with PRP, Lower Blepharoplasty & Under-eye Filler. 
 
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, that stimulates extra collagen production, which can help heal scars and reduce signs of aging. PRP, which is uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing  can expedite the healing process of tissues and reduce the appearance of pigmentation and acne scarring when used with microneedling. 

Lower eyelid surgery can be performed through the inside of the lower eyelid known as the transconjunctival technique. Through this incision, excess skin and fat will be removed or the fat may be redistributed. Other adjustments may be performed to correct additional problems such as muscle laxity and as in upper eyelid surgery, placement of the incision in natural crease lines will allow for the scar to heal inconspicuously. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid and a laser may sometimes be used in conjunction with surgery to tighten your lower eyelid skin.

Under-eye filler is hyaluronic acid injection used to improve the appearance of sunken or discolored under-eye areas. Filler provides immediate results with a brighter and plumper under-eye.
