Say Goodbye to Under-Eye Bags

Your eyes are said to be the windows to your soul- so why wouldn’t you want them to look as young and vibrant as you feel? 

Under-eye bags are one of the most common and frustrating signs of aging, and may occur at various ages in different individuals.  There are certain measures you can take, both non-invasive and surgical, to turn back the hands of time giving you fresh, younger looking eyes. 

Why Do We Get Under-Eye Bags?
There is no doubt that the aging process takes a toll on the delicate tissues surrounding the eye area.  As we age, the ligaments, tendons, and muscles around our eyes become weak, causing the fat to shift out of place and leaving unsightly bulges beneath the eyes.  Though these effects are typically minor, unfortunately, these little guys can add years onto your age!

How Do We Get Rid of Under-Eye Bags?
There are many questionable topical treatments available for those concerned with just puffiness and dark circles.  If you are thinking about taking the next step to plump up the troughs around this delicate area, injectable filler treatments are an excellent minimally invasive option that can prove to be a very beneficial solution.

Here, at Aesthetic Enhancements, we offer 3 different types of dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane & Radiesse), that may be just what you need to address any hollowness and fine lines that have developed under or around your eyes.

Though filler treatments are not permanent, nor do they permanently remove sagging skin, they can camouflage this problem area and allow for a fresher, more youthful look without surgery or downtime. 

When choosing your place of aesthetic care, it is important to choose a highly trained and experienced provider. Keep in mind that not just anyone holds the skill level to provide a flawless finish when it comes to your face. Choosing someone who understands the anatomy of the face and who will keep your safety at the top of his or her priority list is key when selecting your injector. Here at Aesthetic Enhancements, our Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, Michelle Boone, has over 13 years of experience and would love to meet with you for a complimentary consultation.

Say “Good Bye!” to your unwanted bags for good with a more permanent option, Blepharoplasty. This procedure, also known as eyelid surgery, is another option offered by Orlando Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Armando Soto here at Aesthetic Enhancements Plastic Surgery that can reshape and rejuvenate your eyes permanently.  With lower lid blepharoplasty, the skin and fat under the eye are repositioned while your muscles are tightened resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Vampire Fillers - Using Your Own Blood To Banish Wrinkles

Beauty seekers are always looking for new, exciting ways to maintain a youthful appearance.  When it comes to using something so simple, and natural like your own blood, it’s hard for some to resist.  Plasma fillers, also called “vampire fillers” are said to do just that. 

The filler is made by extracting blood from the patient and spinning it until the plasma is separated from the red blood cells.  The plasma is then injected to rid the face of fine lines and wrinkles.  It has also been used to treat under eyes, hands and the neck to rejuvenate and plump up the skin.  It takes about 3 months and a few treatments to notice the results.

Plasma filler providers say this is a natural alternative to other dermal fillers.  However, once the blood has been ejected from your body and processed, it becomes a foreign body like any other filler when re-injected.  The safety and success of this treatment are still questionable and much more research is needed before it becomes a mainstream solution for aging skin. 

There are already many other cosmetic fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm that are proven to be very safe and effective – and they even last up to a year! 

Regardless of what filler you use, it is important to keep in mind that the quality of the outcome is substantially dependent upon the skill of the provider.  If you are interested in learning more about dermal fillers offered here at Aesthetic Enhancements, call us today for your complimentary consultation with our filler expert - Michelle Boone, ARNP
