Dark circles under the eyes might be fine when it’s Halloween, but considering that’s only one day a year, you’ve probably had enough of the zombie look. What causes dark circles, and why can’t you get rid of yours? Well, the cause is the reason why your dark circles remain one of your most stubborn beauty hiccups but don’t worry. Revive Medical Center can help with a quick and relatively painless procedure to rid you of those under eye menaces.
The Cause
Everyone has a certain amount of fatty tissue under their eyes. This tissue keeps the eyes looking full and covers the blood vessels. This tissue area is called the tear trough, and if you don’t have enough fat, your eyes appear hollow and dark. It’s like a mattress cover. You slip one between the sheets and the mattress for added padding and protection. The tear trough works much the same way. It fattens the area between your eye socket and the epidermis.
The Solution
There isn’t much you can do to fatten up your tear trough. Gaining weight doesn’t help and that isn’t a healthy solution anyway. Through cosmetic enhancement procedures, however, BELOTERO by MERZ AESTHETICS has shown to significantly reduce dark circles under patients’ eyes. The procedure is quick, relatively painless, and will keep your dark circles at bay for about nine months; although some patients’ results last over a year.
How it Works
BELOTERO is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid. This acid is found naturally in sugar and your body produces it, too, until you age. When injected under the eyes, BELOTERO binds with water to plump your tear trough area. This helps your skin look smoother – it’ll even reduce fine lines and wrinkles – and creates that much-needed layer of tissue to eliminate dark circles. In fact, BELOTERO works better than other fillers because it doesn’t create a bluish hue.
How We Help
Revive Medical Center employs experts certified to use BELOTERO for under eye treatments. The procedure will take about 30 to 45 minutes and you won’t be saddled with a prolonged recovery period. If you’re queasy, we can apply a topical painkiller on the injection sites to mitigate discomfort, but don’t worry. The procedure isn’t as bad as you might think. It’ll take about three to five injections per eye, so you’ll be out of our office in no time.
