Banish Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

Do you wake up after a full night’s sleep but when you look in the mirror you look exhausted because of dark circles and puffiness under your eyes? Are people always asking you whether or not you are feeling well or ask if you are tired? The dark circles under your eyes may be nothing more than a cosmetic nuisance, but you can banish those dark circles with Juvéderm.

How Does Juvéderm Work?

Dermal fillers like Juvéderm are a safe and effective non-surgical treatment for removing dark circles under your eyes and improving your youthful appearance. Juvéderm uses Hyaluronic Acid, a natural substance found in the human body that helps provide nutrition for the skin and hydrates the skin by helping it hold water. It also provides cushion. Juvéderm mimics this naturally occurring substance to almost instantly removes dark circles without any resulting puffiness or swelling. The result is a smooth and natural look that helps you feel better and look younger.

Benefits of Juvéderm

Juvéderm injections only take about 15 minutes, and most people are able to return to work immediately. It’s something you can get done on your lunch break. In addition to treating dark circles under your eyes, Juvéderm is a popular and effective injectable for restoring volume in the cheeks, enhancing lip volume, and smoothing out the creases around the nose and mouth.

Does the Juvéderm Procedure Hurt?

Juvéderm is injected under the skin with a small needle, adding volume deep within the areas surrounding the nose or mouth. The gel formula contains lidocaine, a numbing agent, to prevent patients from experiencing pain during treatment. Rarely, a patient will experience minor swelling or have an allergic reaction.

Facial Plastic Surgery Questions

Dr. Mao will listen to your concerns, examine your facial anatomy, and discuss surgical and non-surgical options suited to your goals. You will leave with a clear understanding of what to expect.
Facial plastic surgery focuses on procedures of the face, head, and neck — both cosmetic procedures like facelift and rhinoplasty and reconstructive treatments for functional concerns.
Recovery varies by procedure and by patient. Some non-surgical treatments involve little or no downtime. After surgery, the time needed to return to work or routine activities may range from several days to several weeks, while swelling, incision healing, and final results can continue to improve for weeks or months. During your consultation, Dr. Mao will explain the expected recovery timeline, activity restrictions, and follow-up care for the procedure being considered.
Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and have specific concerns they would like addressed. A consultation is the best way to find out.
