Many people notice that as they age, their eyes start to look hollow or tired due to volume loss. If this sounds familiar, cosmetic injectables can be more effective than over-the-counter creams and serums. Dr. David Alonso is proud to offer JUVÉDERM dermal fillers to address sunken eyes and produce a well-rested, refreshed appearance.

JUVÉDERM is a popular anti-aging eye treatment because it adds volume to the under-eye area without resorting to plastic surgery. But how long do dermal fillers last? And why should you consider fillers over other options in Chico, CA? Call Amour Medical Aesthetics to learn about the benefits of JUVÉDERM — and what you can expect from this treatment.

What causes volume loss beneath the eyes?

Volume loss is a natural part of aging that occurs in various areas of the face, including under the eyes. As we get older, our bodies make less collagen and elastin, which are the main proteins responsible for keeping the tissue plump and firm. Eventually, you may notice wrinkles and creases, sagging skin, and a sunken appearance in the eye area.

Additionally, lifestyle factors such as UV exposure, smoking, and stress contribute to premature aging and further exacerbate volume loss. While eye creams can help with fine lines, they cannot address deeper structural issues. Cosmetic injectables like JUVÉDERM work beneath the surface to restore lost volume.

How do dermal fillers improve sunken eyes?

Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that helps retain moisture in the skin. When carefully administered beneath the eyes, HA fillers add instant volume to the area, smoothing out wrinkles and plumping up the skin from beneath. A skilled injector can use JUVÉDERM to fill in hollows, reduce dark circles, and give you a more youthful look in Chico, CA.

How long do dermal fillers last?

We understand that you want your anti-aging eye treatment to last as long as possible. So, how long do dermal fillers last? While the exact duration varies for each patient, JUVÉDERM dermal fillers produce results for about 9 – 12 months in the under-eye area. Factors like metabolism, lifestyle habits, and the specific product used will play a role in this timeline. A consultation at Amour Medical Aesthetics can help determine the ideal treatment plan and product for your unique needs.

The benefits of JUVÉDERM over other options

There are many options for addressing sunken eyes, including plastic surgery. But JUVÉDERM offers several unique benefits that make it a popular choice among patients:

  • Noninvasive: Dermal fillers require no incisions or anesthesia, making them a minimally invasive option with little to no downtime.
  • Natural-looking results: When done by an experienced injector like Dr. Alonso, JUVÉDERM can provide subtle yet noticeable improvements that look natural and not overdone.
  • Versatile: JUVÉDERM can be used in various areas of the face to address different concerns, offering a more comprehensive approach.
