&srotate=0)
Dark circles and under-eye bags can make you appear more tired than you feel or older than you actually are. While many patients assume surgical procedures like blepharoplasty are the only solution for bags under the eyes, Restylane injections offer a nonsurgical, minimally invasive alternative. At his practice near Westchester, NY, award-winning oculoplastic surgeon and ophthalmologist Dr. James R. Gordon is renowned for his precision and stunning outcomes, including using Restylane to rejuvenate the tear trough area and create natural-looking, youthful results. Take a closer look here at the benefits of injecting Restylane under the eyes to diminish unsightly bags and dark circles.
Can you use Restylane for dark circles under the eyes?
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal filler that works by restoring lost volume, smoothing out hollows, and reducing the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. When injected into the tear trough area, Restylane provides immediate support to the delicate skin, diminishing shadows and unevenness for a more refreshed look. Hyaluronic acid — which is found naturally in the body — also attracts moisture, which can further enhance hydration and skin texture.
Dr. Gordon's technique is highly specialized, offering West Chester, NY patients long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and downtime. With his expertise as one of only 3% of doctors qualified as an ExpertInjector™ by ASAPS and ASDS, Dr. Gordon ensures precision placement of the filler to achieve a smooth, natural contour without overfilling.
Who is a good candidate for Restylane under-eye treatments?
Restylane injections for the tear trough area — sometimes referred to as tear trough fillers — may be appropriate for men and women who:
- Have mild to moderate under-eye bags or hollowness
- Experience dark circles that are not solely caused by pigmentation
- Want a nonsurgical solution to achieve a rejuvenated look
- Prefer a treatment with minimal recovery time
During a personalized consultation, Dr. Gordon will evaluate your concerns and determine whether Restylane is the right approach to help you achieve your unique aesthetic goals.
How does Restylane for eye bags work?
Dr. Gordon performs Restylane injections under the eyes with extreme precision to ensure natural-looking, even results. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and starts with the treatment area being cleansed and prepped. A topical anesthetic cream is then applied to the skin to help reduce any discomfort you may feel during the injections. Finally, the appropriate amount of Restylane filler is injected into precise areas using a fine needle to produce an even, smooth, natural new look.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and results are often visible almost immediately. You may notice slight swelling or bruising, but this typically resolves within a few days, allowing you to return to normal activities with little to no downtime.
How long does Restylane last under the eyes?
Restylane results in the under-eye area can last around six months — or longer in some cases — depending on individual factors like metabolism, the amount of filler used, and others. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the hyaluronic acid, but follow-up treatments can help maintain your refreshed appearance. Dr. Gordon will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that helps you enjoy a consistently youthful, beautiful look over the long term.
