Understanding Tear Troughs
Before delving into the different filler options, let’s first understand what tear troughs are and why they are prone to aging. Tear troughs are the depressions that extend from the inner corners of the eyes, curving under the lower eyelids. They can develop due to various factors, including genetics, volume loss, and the natural aging process. As we age, the fat pads under our eyes may shift or diminish, leading to the appearance of hollows, dark circles, and even under-eye bags.
Different Types of Fillers
Fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. When it comes to tear troughs, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most commonly recommended choice. HA naturally occurs in the body, making it highly compatible and safe for use in delicate areas like the under-eye region.
Juvederm
Juvederm is a brand of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers that have been widely used to restore volume and smooth wrinkles on the face. It is an excellent choice for individuals looking to address fine lines, deep folds, and lost facial volume.
Voluma
Voluma is another HA filler but is specifically designed for cheek augmentation and mid-face volume restoration. It provides lift and contour to the cheeks, creating a more youthful appearance.
Photofacial IPL Treatment
Photofacial or IPL treatment uses intense pulsed light to target pigmentation irregularities, redness, and signs of sun damage. It’s a versatile option for improving overall skin tone and texture.
