The eyes are the body’s most celebrated and important focal points. They express feelings and emotions with just one look, which is why they are often called “the window to the soul.” Since your eyes tend to be the first thing people notice about you, patients with puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles are concerned that their eyes are making them look older and more tired than they feel. 

Under-eye filler can restore the youthful appearance you desire safely and effectively. At LUX Med Spa, we have successfully helped clients restore the youthful appearance they desire, so if you are concerned that your eyes are aging you, here are five things to know about under-eye filler.

What Causes Eyes to Look Old & Tired?

Sometimes there are obvious things that can cause your eyes to look tired, like red, irritated eyes, either from environmental irritants or from a lack of good sleep. But if redness is not your concern, what you are probably seeing is a lack of volume in your tear troughs. The tear troughs are the small grooves that begin in the corner of the eye and extend out towards the cheeks. As we age, we tend to lose fatty tissue in the face, and the tear troughs are no exception.

What happens when this volume decreases is it enhances the look of hollowness that can resemble dark circles or bags. As we age, we lose elasticity in the skin, so the skin under the eyes is less firm or “crepey.” This is due to reduced levels of collagen and a breakdown of elastin fibers in the skin. Since collagen and elastin help keep the skin plump and elastic (like when you stretch a rubber band, it bounces back), so when they start to diminish, the skin gets thinner and doesn’t retain its shape. The crepey skin under the eyes contributes to the look of less youthful and more tired eyes. 

How Do Under Eye Fillers Work?

Just like dermal filler placed in marionette lines (around the mouth), glabellar lines (between eyebrows), and other facial skin folds, under-eye dermal fillers can be expertly placed under the eyes in the tear troughs. Tear trough fillers work quickly and non-invasively to soften and smooth the appearance of eye grooves.

At LUX, we use hyaluronic acid-based fillers that boost volume loss and help to restore suppleness, hydration, and resilience to the entire eye area. Since this type of filler is pliable and soft, it yields optimal results, especially in the delicate under-eye area. Patients notice a visible improvement immediately after treatment.

5 Things To Know About Under Eye Filler

#1 – The Best Type of Filler To Use Under Eyes

Dermal fillers use different ingredients specifically designed to achieve aesthetic goals on different parts of the face. For under-eye filler that can be safely used in the tear troughs, LUX uses volumizers and collagen stimulators like Juvéderm, because they are compatible with the very thin and delicate tissue in this part of the face.

For example, Juvéderm Volbella XC is well-suited for tear troughs as an under-eye filler. It is composed of hyaluronic acid, is biodegradable, and contains non-animal acids and gel. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar naturally produced by the body that helps with skin hydration, fullness, and elasticity. This dermal filler plumps up the skin and smooths out wrinkles. 

It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use under the eyes. In fact, Juvéderm Volbella XC is specifically approved to treat the eye volume loss that contributes to dark circles.

#2 – Immediate And Lasting Results 

At LUX, we are excited to offer our patients under-eye filler because they can see visible improvement. Using a tiny needle, under-eye filler is administered with multiple injections. To ease any discomfort, a numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment.

The bonus of hyaluronic acid is that it stimulates the body to produce collagen and elastin, so results can continue to improve for several weeks.

#3 – What To Expect After Under Eye Filler

Immediately after your under-eye filler procedure, you might feel numbness until the topical numbing cream wears off. The team at LUX will give you guidelines to follow to ensure an optimal recuperation period. You can return to your regular schedule but may be instructed to use cold compresses and sleep propped up to reduce swelling. It is normal to experience minor bruising because the under-eye area is a vascular location with a robust blood supply.

The final results of under-eye filler can last between 12 to 18 months. It tends to last longer because that area of the face does not move around, so the filler does not dissolve as quickly. The effect of the filler will dissolve gradually over time.

#4 – Under Eye Filler Does Not Change Pigmentation

One of the most important 5 things to know about under eye filler is it is ideal for easing the look of lost volume. Under-eye filler does not necessarily correct dark circles. This can be hard to determine because hollow tear troughs can cast shadows in a particular light that contribute to the look of bags or dark circles. However, under-eye fillers do not change the pigmentation.

During your consultation with our Nurse Injectors, they will be able to assess your under-eye concerns and let you know if under-eye filler is the best route for your cosmetic goals.

#5 – Maximizing Under Eye Filler Treatment

In addition to under-eye filler, LUX offers a variety of skincare services for youthful, glowing skin. Treating the whole face is a great way to maximize the benefits of under-eye filler and freshen up your look. The most common non-invasive treatments we provide are Botox to ease fine lines and wrinkles and treatments like DiamondGlow, SkinPen Microneedling, and Morpheus8

Does the face you see in the mirror reflect how you feel inside? The aging process breaks down connective fibers like collagen and elastin, along with a loss of fat that can result in sagging, loose skin that wrinkles easily. If you yearn for the smooth, plump, taut face of your youth, you may be excited to know the LUX Med Spa offers non-surgical facelift and necklift procedures. 

By using the perfect combination of injectables, you can refresh, restore and add beauty to your face with what we refer to as a “liquid facelift.” The result is reduced wrinkles, increased facial volume, and removal of under-the-chin fat.

What is a Liquid Facelift?

Our master injectors perform a “liquid facelift” at LUX Med Spa and will tailor a treatment to match your specific aesthetic goals. We use fillers, Botox, and Kybella to achieve fantastic results. Most fillers last 6-18 months depending on the filler, and Botox only needs to be touched up every 3-4 months. Kybella, the injectable used to remove under-the-chin fat, is permanent as long as your weight stays the same.

The results of our liquid facelift aren’t quite as dramatic and long-lasting as a surgical facelift and neck lift. However, the immediate results provide a refreshed and youthful look with little to no downtime, which our busy patients appreciate.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for a Liquid Facelift

Facial rejuvenation in the form of a liquid facelift can safely and easily be achieved with dermal fillers. Various fillers are popular for different reasons, and LUX Med Spa will choose the perfect one for you to get your desired facelift results.

Injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) is a popular temporary dermal filler that adds volume to specific areas of your face. The almost immediate results give you a more youthful appearance, the hallmark of the non-invasive facelift.

Types of HA Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is found naturally throughout the body. When used as a filler, hyaluronic acid attracts water, which allows the skin to become more hydrated with a more plump appearance. This filler is ideal for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds. Plus, it can be used to create structure, framework, and volume to the face and lips, which is why it’s ideal for stunning liquid facelift results.

At Lux Med Spa, we have achieved Diamond status from Allergan, the maker of JUVÉDERM products with HA fillers including: JUVÉDERM®, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, JUVÉDERM®, VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC and JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™ XC. Only about 3% of providers in the U.S. achieve this status based on the volume of Allergan products used. This means our injectors have an extremely high level of experience using these products and that we have earned a reputation as a trusted provider.

We are also proud to offer our patients the Restylane® family of products. Restylane products can also be ideal for a liquid facelift with HA fillers like RESTYLANE® Lyft, Defyne, Refyne, and Restylane® Kysse). With over 40 million treatments worldwide, the Restylane hyaluronic acid fillers line provides natural-looking results.

At LUX Med Spa, we will choose the fillers best suited for you to achieve the non-surgical facelift and necklift of your dreams. 

How Botox Can Give You Facelift Results

A little bit of BOTOX can go a long way towards improving fine lines and wrinkles, which is why it’s the perfect addition to your liquid facelift treatment. Our LUX staff knows precisely where and how much BOTOX should be injected to provide each patient with the desired outcome without a frozen or unnatural appearance.

BOTOX will gently relax the underlying facial muscles that contract as you change expressions to enhance your non-surgical facelift results further. BOTOX can be used on the forehead, on crow’s feet, on the chin area, between the eyebrows, and even around the lips. Depending on how quickly your body metabolizes it, BOTOX injections must be done every 3-4 months.

Non-Invasive Necklift with KYBELLA

In addition to fillers and BOTOX, your liquid facelift will include the injectable KYBELLA to slim and sculpt your jawline, giving you the benefits of a non-invasive neck lift. 

Stubborn fat below the chin is a common problem for many men and women. It can be related to aging, genetics, or weight gain. Even at a healthy weight, men and women often struggle with the appearance of a double chin. Adding KYBELLA to your liquid facelift can enhance your youthful appearance by dissolving the excess submental (below the chin) fat. KYBELLA uses a naturally occurring chemical (deoxycholic acid) to destroy problem fat cells beneath the chin. When injected, your body begins naturally eliminating this excess fat, gradually leaving behind a slim and well-sculpted chin and jawline.

Lip fillers are an injectable cosmetic treatment that adds volume to your lips. Unfortunately, they don’t stop the aging process. Still, they can delay the signs of aging signs and can even delay the need for more invasive surgical procedures (such as lip augmentation). Most patients rely on lip fillers to give their lips a lift to help them achieve the desired look and minimize fine lines. As a result, lip fillers are extremely common, with more than 2 million patients requesting this treatment each year. If you’re curious about lip fillers or if they are right for you, call our office today to request a consultation!

Do your lips go back to normal after fillers?

The good news is that Lip fillers are temporary. However, the length of time it will take for your lips to return to normal is dependent on your metabolism. When you book your consultation, your technician can discuss the pros and cons of this treatment and estimate how long you can expect to enjoy your results before they return to their normal appearance. 

How long do lip fillers last?

Most patients can expect to enjoy the results of their lip filler for 12-18 months, depending on their age and how fast their body metabolizes the injected product. Of course, each patient is different, and your results may vary, but your technician should be able to give you a reasonable expectation during your consultation. 

What are the benefits of lip fillers?

Patients love lip fillers because of the many advantages over a surgical procedure, including they are safe with a low risk of complications. In addition, many patients have reported that lip fillers boost their self-esteem. They are also reversible; if you are unhappy with the look of your injections, this is not a permanent treatment.

What are the risks?

There are risks with any cosmetic procedure; with lip fillers, hazards include bleeding and discomfort at the injection site. In addition, some patients experience cold sore reactivation, discoloration, or tenderness. In rare cases, infection and tissue death are possible, but this is rare in a professional medical setting. 

When can I eat or drink after having a lip filler?

It’s best to wait to eat until after the topical anesthetic or nerve block injection has worn off so you don’t accidentally disturb the filler. You should also avoid eating any messy foods that may cause you to wipe your face or lips for the first 24 hours after your treatment. If you are prone to bruising, it’s best to avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours which can make bruising worse. 

How long do Lip Fillers last?What happens when you stop getting fillers?

Before booking your first appointment, you might be curious about what will happen to your lips; if you decide fillers aren’t for you, cancel any future filler appointments. Your lips will gradually return to their usual size. 

Are lip injections safe?

YES! Lip fillers have been on the market for years and are safe and effective in the hands of highly trained professionals like the team at LUX medspa. Dr. Larsen is a double-board certified plastic surgeon and has carefully selected his team at LUX to include highly trained professionals that share his vision for precision treatment and excellent patient care. 

How do lip injections work?

Lip fillers are typically made of cosmetic products containing an ingredient called hyaluronic acid or HA. HA is a natural product responsible for locking in moisture to the skin. You’ve probably seen this in the ingredient list for skin and hair care products. Most lip injections also include a numbing medication like lidocaine mixed into the filler to create a painless injection. At LUX, we know every patient has unique needs, so we are proud to offer a wide variety of lip fillers for you to choose from to ensure you’ll find the right product for your desired look. Each product we use has been proven to enhance the appearance of lips that might otherwise be too thin. In addition, our highly trained staff will be able to answer any questions you may have and help you determine which treatment is best for you.

How long do lip injections last?

Each patient can react to cosmetic treatments differently. Like any treatment, results will depend on your body, the type of injectable you use, how fast your body metabolizes the product, and how full you prefer your lips to look. Typically most patients can expect lip fillers to last between 12-and 18 months. Because this product dissipates slowly, most patients schedule a maintenance routine, so their lips will retain the same level of fullness at all times; you’ll never need as much filler for maintenance treatments as you will for your initial treatment. Meaning the cost per visit goes down over time. 

What services are commonly paired with lip fillers?

Botox is common injection that many people pair with lip fillers. Botox can be injected into the muscles around the lips, which will slightly relax your lips, giving you a slight pout without adding any volume so your lips will stay the same size. Many patients start with Botox before upgrading to fillers.

Botox around the mouth can also prevent the muscle from making exaggerated motions which cause lines to form around the mouth. This is also highly requested as a preventative measure to prevent deep lines from forming. 

Kybella is another injectable paired with lip filler and is part of a “Liquid lift procedure.” This simple cosmetic injection is FDA-approved to eliminate fat under the chin safely. So if you’ve been bothered by a double chin or wish your jawline was more defined, Kybella is for you. Call us today to book your appointment!

Some people opt for Botox along with or in place of lip fillers. Botox can be injected into the muscles around the lips, which will slightly relax your lips, giving you a slight pout without adding any volume so your lips will stay the same size.

Am I a good candidate for lip injections?

Getting a cosmetic procedure done is a personal decision; many of our patients receive lip injections to boost self-esteem and body confidence. The best candidates for lip fillers and good overall health have realistic expectations not currently dealing with any active oral infections, including canker sores or cold sores. 

Many people who are considering lip injections want to increase their lip size. There are several reasons for this; some patients want to restore their previous lip size because our lips get smaller and thinner as we age. Other patients want to correct the shape of the lips; it’s common for your lips to be different sizes or shapes the human body is often asymmetrical. And some patients simply wish to smooth wrinkles. When you smile, laugh, drink from a straw, or smoke, wrinkles can develop around the sides of your mouth. Most of our patients who seek lip filler simply want a confidence boost. Lip fillers can help improve your self-esteem and body image. 

What is a lip flip?

Many patients interested in lip injections are curious about the lip flip. This is a quick in-office cosmetic procedure that takes about 20 minutes. This procedure involved the injection of Botox into the middle of the top of your lips (often called Cupids Bow) and the corners of your mouth. This injection temporarily relaxes muscles around your lip. This causes the part of your upper lip inside your mouth to “flip” upward and outward, giving more of a pout to your lips and providing them with a fuller appearance.

Lip filler for fine lines

Have you ever struggled to keep lipstick looking crisp along the outline of your lips? Do you find yourself avoiding the bright colors of lipstick because it tends to bleed to the skin around your lips? We all feel more put together when our makeup is in place, and no one wants to look like their lipstick was applied haphazardly. Unfortunately, as we age, it’s common for fine lines and wrinkles to form around the edges of our mouth, making it easy for lipstick to spread away from the outline of our lips. The good news, LUX has a solution! 

Those lines are called perioral rhytids and can be treated! Many people associate these lines with smoking, but they are common even with non-smokers. Whatever the reason, we can make them disappear. Lip fillers are ideal for addressing these concerns. Our products are incredibly smooth and perfect for the delicate area around the edges of the mouth. 

A common misbelief is that lip injections are only for increasing the volume of the lips. This isn’t true; many people use lip filler to treat the fine lines around the mouth while not increasing the volume of their lips. Treated lips can look hydrated and smooth but maintain your average lip volume. This can be a stand-alone treatment, or you can have these lines treated in addition to plumping your lips! 

Injectables Guide

Filler for downturned mouth

As we age, it’s common for lines and wrinkles to develop around the mouth. Because we can’t avoid using our mouths to eat and speak, this is one of the first places to develop wrinkles. Some patients develop an interest in lip injections simply because the corners of their mouths appear droopy. Many women feel these downturned corners give them an appearance of being sad even when they are not; it can make their features look harsher. Downturned corners are very treatable! Your injection specialist can place fillers near the edges of the mouth to give your smile a perk!

Our highly trained specialists can strategically place your filler to build a structure to lift the smile, providing a more youthful appearance to the lips. However, many people prefer to skip the filler entirely and have Botox injected into the muscles around the lips. This tiny injection provides no filler, so your lip volume will stay the same, but it will slightly relax the muscles that surround your lips. This can give a slight pout to your lips. 

Botox in this area can also prevent the muscle from making exaggerated motions which are common culprits for causing lines to form around the mouth. This is also highly requested as a preventative measure to prevent deep lines from forming. These procedures can literally turn your frown upside down!

If erasing fine lines and wrinkles sit at the top of your beauty to-do list, then you probably want to consider injectables and fillers. While the topic may be a touchy one to broach in your 40s, there are many reasons why you may want to consider these treatments now rather than later, primarily because addressing these signs of aging early on makes them easier to correct. 

The aging process is inevitable, and as we age, changes to our skin and face occur. For example, it’s typical to start to see a change in skin elasticity and volume loss and fine lines and wrinkles. But with so many options available to correct these common signs of aging, how do you know which is best for you? 

Those are some of the exact questions that Candace, a Lux Med Spa patient, had. 

At 47 years old, Candace decided it was time to refresh some of the facial areas that needed a little tweaking, like her thinning lips, crow’s-feet, and the moderate lines around her mouth.

The mother of two has spent the last seven years focusing on her family and business, which left little time to take care of herself and her aging skin, which she says has caught up with her.

40-SOMETHING AND READY FOR A REFRESH

Ready to do something for herself, Candace visited Lux Med Spa for her very first experience with age-reversing fillers and Botox.

She was somewhat nervous and unsure of what to expect during her initial treatment but knew she was in good hands. 

During her consultation with Sonya, a registered nurse at Lux Med Spa, Candace expresses her concerns about her nasolabial folds, crow’s feet, and smaller-than-before lips. However, she wanted to be able to see expressions when moving her brows and forehead. She didn’t want to look overdone or unnatural, just like a better version of herself. 

Candace’s natural bone structure makes her an ideal candidate for injectables and filler, and it doesn’t require adding that much definition. Treating just a few small areas will enhance her beauty yet retain her natural features, so she looks natural yet still like herself.

TAKING OFF THE YEARS

First, Candace had BOTOX injections in her forehead to smooth and soften the lines.

Next, she is injected with Juvederm Voluma XC in the cheeks. Adding a little more volume to the cheeks will improve the mid-face and minimally lift the lower parts of the face.

Her injector, Sonya, begins with a tacking-like technique at the back part of the cheek to accentuate them and bring them up just a bit. This technique also marginally improves the nasolabial folds, and putting the right products in the right places makes all the difference.

Immediately after filler, it is normal to feel a slight unevenness or bumpiness, but the product will likely smooth itself out over the coming weeks. Swelling is also common.

After the cheek injections, the crow’s feet were still noticeable but not as prominent as before starting the treatment. So next, Sonya injected a few units of Botox to soften the lines around Candace’s eyes. 

To correct Candace’s minimal nasolabial folds, Juvederm Vollure XC was injected to fill them in and make them less pronounced. The hyaluronic acid filler works exceptionally well to fill the grooves on the face and smooth them over. A tiny bit of the filler, which is hydrophilic (it pulls water to the area to plump), is also used at the corners of her mouth to lift them ever so slightly. While it’s not standard procedure to fully erase the nasolabial folds so they appear flat, it’s also not normal not to have any lines in the area, which can make a face look artificial–it’s more about softening them. 

In her lips, Juvederm Ultra XC, a popular lip filler, was used to help soften the minimal lip lines on her lips. Since Candace’s lips already have a good definition, reinstating the vermillion border was not the main objective, but plumping them up and smoothing and giving the lip a bit of a curl (from a profile view)is. Plus, adding volume to the lips allows for the upper lip not to appear to thin out when smiling. Post-treatment swelling is normal when treating the lips. 

To minimize bruising and swelling after fillers, it’s best not to ‘squish’ the lips and always sleep with the head elevated for a few nights since the fillers’ placement is moldable for the first 24 to 48 hours. 

Candace’s treatment is a mild version of the liquid lift, perfect for patients who are not ready for surgery yet need to replace lost volume and address prejowling. Candace was excited about her new look, but she even said she looked like she used to and 40, not 47. If that isn’t the sign of a happy patient, we don’t know what is!

In our latest treatment video, watch our patient go through a revolutionary non-invasive chin transformation with a simple and practically painless filler treatment with no downtime in our new Chin Augmentation with JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC at LUX Med Spa” Video Blog Article.

Our patient came to LUX Med Spa (Voted “Best Med Spa 2021” by Atlanta BestSelf Magazine) to address issues she was having with facial volume loss, and slight sagging in a little-known area called the pre-jowl sulcus, which is the area on either side of our chin.

Our Master Injector and Nationally Certified Physician Assistant, Lauren, used JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC along with advanced dermal filler techniques to fill the sunken pre-jowl sulcus area. Fillers are typically placed in the recessed area between the jowl and the chin.

Lauren remedied the patient’s concerns by bringing the volume back to her face and a little more projection to the chin. Resulting in a natural, straighter contour from cheek to the chin and a more soft & youthful look!

If you are missing volume in your face and are interested in using fillers to augment your chin by giving it a more pronounced look, give our office a call today at 4044651234 to schedule your appointment or set up a consultation right here on our website. We look forward to hearing from you!
