Juvéderm Volbella XC, one of the most widely used dermal fillers, has recently been approved by the FDA for injection into the under-eye area of the face.
Juvederm
Volbella was specifically approved to treat tear ducts under the eyes, and is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler for this delicate area. Its unique VyCross technology allows the product to form an even and smooth distribution in the under-eye area, as well as creating maximum fullness on the lips. Juvederm Volbella is the thinnest in the Juvederm collection, making it a perfect under-eye filler for natural eye rejuvenation.The most common types of hyaluronic acid fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero. These are especially beneficial if this is your first time putting fillers under your eyes, as they can be reversed. If you are not satisfied with the results or experience a complication, another substance can be introduced to dissolve the filler. There are many different varieties of HA gel fillers and the number of options is growing. These include the Restylane family, the Juvederm family and Belotero.
This filler is popular for under the eyes because it is very tolerant to the injector. It is not very stiff and tends not to clump or cause discoloration, but the disadvantage is that it does not provide a great lift if there is a deep tear. It's an acceptable option, but in my opinion it's not as versatile as Restylane. These are newer fillers within the Juvderm family: Volbella (also known as Volift outside of the U. S.) and Vollure.
They cause less swelling than the previous variety of Juvederm products and are good choices for superficial (Volbella) and deeper (Vollure) injections under the eyes. My slight hesitation in giving them my highest score is that a low incidence of inflammatory nodules (bumps) has been reported after 4 months with Volbella. It's a low risk, but I haven't seen this type of problem with Restylane or Belotero. These fillers have a different type of cross-linking than normal Restylane, making them more “flexible”, which can be beneficial in areas with a lot of facial movement (especially around the mouth). There are benefits to using Refyne in the “crow's feet” area, but so far no benefit has been demonstrated over regular Restylane for the under-eye area. This is also true for Restylane Silk, which is the thinnest and softest version of Restylane, but it also has the highest swelling capacity.
Not the best option when it comes to thin skin under the eyes, which doesn't cope well with significant swelling. Before and after Restylane (cannulated) for bags under the eyes and dark circles. Restylane is also a preferred filler used in Pure Bliss Med Spa. From experience, Restylane has proven to be the most effective at adding volume under the eye area with minimal swelling and bruising compared to other fillers. It's also less viscous than some fillers, so the chance of lumps and irregularities decreases.
Restylane is an injectable gel made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body. Restylane is hydrophilic and draws water to the area, naturally giving volume and allowing it to adhere to surrounding tissue for a soft, natural look and feel. If you're looking for a tear canal solution, here are 7 important things to consider when contemplating Juvederm under-eye fillers: Juvederm Volbella uses exclusive VyCross technology that allows it to be evenly and smoothly distributed at injection sites; Restylane injectables tend to have slightly lower durability and a slightly lower price than Juvederm injectables; Juvederm injection under eyes is an advanced injection technique; bruises at injection sites usually last only a few days after eye treatment with Juvederm; Juvederm under eyes usually lasts between nine months and a full year; often patients find that this area is most durable for Juvederm injection; both Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid injectables designed to improve collagen and elastin in skin. If you can't endure downtime that comes with plastic surgery or blepharoplasty, correcting dark circles and deep furrows with Juvederm may be better option for you. The Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid fillers has been approved by FDA for almost all areas of face, and an expert injector can apply filler under eyes just as safely as they would anywhere else on face. The formulation of other Juvederm products such as Juvederm Voluma or Juvederm Ultra Plus has denser consistency that can create less natural aesthetic in tear area.
Other Juvederm products such as Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus have denser gel that is better at replacing volume and fullness of areas such as lips. Juvederm Volbella on other hand has thinner formulation that can help balance cheek area without adding excessive volume. Typically 1 to 2 Juvederm syringes are needed to achieve person's aesthetic goals, and cost of Juvederm varies by geographic area, Juvederm type, and injector experience.
