Aesthetic Solutions for Dark Under Eye Circles

Dark circles are a major complaint for at least 65% of the women and men who come into my office and has been for the past 11 years at Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center.  Dark circles occur for many reasons.  Sometimes it is for reasons that are difficult to treat such as hereditary reasons, or sinus infections.  Usually dark circles occur from lack of sleep, and are frequently shadowing caused from hollow tear troughs or hollow cheeks.  Whatever the reason for dark circles the good news it that there are aesthetic non-invasive procedures to help reduce the appearance of dark circles long term.
Here are the top 3 aesthetic solutions for dark under eye circles that actually work. .
#1 Belotero Balance® or Juvederm UltraXC® dermal filler injected into the tear-trough area between your orbital bone & cheeks.
Why? Belotero Balance® is a hyaluronic acid filler that comes fully hydrated-which means that the product doesn't have to be "under-filled" in the tear trough area for safety reasons to see the result, it also allows the injector to inject higher in the dermal tissue which lessens risk of "tindle effect-bluish tint".  Belotero Balance® costs around $475-$550 per syringe for a 1 ML pre-filled syringe.  The tear trough area is typically numbed with topical cream first and pre-filled with Lidocaine for an even more comfortable procedure.
The tear-trough area is the most sensitive facial area to inject so slight bruising and swelling may occur but overall this is a minimally invasive treatment with little side effects or downtime. The results typically last 10-13 months on average. The result of Belotero in the tear-trough area can give clients a more youthful look, with less hollowness, dark circles & wrinkles in the eye area also making them look more rested.
#2 Glytone EnerPeel: A chemical peel designed specifically to target under eye darkening as well as wrinkles and loose skin around the eyes.
Why?  This peel is especially designed for the eye area & combines Lactic acid (great for pigment issues) with TCA (tri-chloracetic acid) great for tightening loose skin and stimulating collagen.  The results are a significant increase in skin firmness around eyes, Decrease in fine lines, wrinkles and coarse crow's feet around eyes, &  a Decrease in dark circles.
#3 Skinmedica TNS Illuminating Eye Cream: No matter what in-office treatments you have performed it is still important what you do at home.
Why? It is important to use an eye cream to keep the area around the eyes hydrated, and the illuminating eye cream has light flecks and growth factors to lighten dark circles & tighten skin around the eye area.

How To Cure Your "Tired Looking Eyes"

If you do, you are not alone. "Dark under eye-circles", hollows, & bags are common concerns for men and women and we hear them all the time in consultations at our Orlando Medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center. Well, the good news is that we can give you advice on how to cure your "tired Looking Eyes" to make them looking rested & brighter again! Cure #1: Dermal Filler Belotero Balance-the dermal filler of choice to fill in tear troughs (the shallow area under the eyes) & eliminate dark circles. Belotero works by replacing lost volume to the contours of the trough, thereby eliminating the shadow that's creating the darkness in the first place. Typically this only takes one syringe of Belotero and is painless as the area can be topically numbed & lidocaine is added to the syringe. This will instantly make you look years younger & brighten up your eyes. The results last approximately 1 year. Cure #2: Eye-Lift Chemical Peels: There are now mild chemical peels created specifically for around the eyes to treat wrinkles and dark circles. Our favorite is the EnerPeel for eyes from Glytone which is a series of 4 20 minute peels (1 every 2-3 weeks). This chemical peel should only be applied by a medical aesthetician. This peel is a combination of TCA & lactic acids to give a Significant increase in skin firmness around eyes and lips, Decreasefine lines, wrinkles and coarse crow's feet around eyes and lips & Decrease dark circles.

Top 3 Cosmetic Treatments for Men

Over the past decade the cosmetic treatments requested & performed on men have increased by 56% as women are no longer the only ones reaping the benefits of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. At our Orlando medical spa-Winter Park Laser, we have seen an increase of at least 20% each year for the past few years. While, men are partaking in all cosmetic & plastic surgery ventures, there are 3 that we see the most often & which have increased by the highest percents in the past few years and they include the following. #1 Brotox: Botox for men has increased by 10% every year in the fast couple of years. This is only natural seeing as how Botox Cosmetic is the #1 cosmetic treatment in the world, so it seems fitting that men only partake in it's glorious benefits as well. Botox Cosmetic is popular because it works. Men tend to have very deep "11's" which are the deep creases in between the eyebrows (the glabellar). Botox can help men in corporate America look younger & stay competitive which is why many CEO's are taking to it. #2 Laser Hair Removal: Many men suffer from painful ingrown hairs in the beard, neck, or bikini area. Laser hair removal can resolve embarrassing red bumps caused by ingrown hairs. The laser destroy hair follicles and thin out the hair ridding the area of ingrown hairs permanently in at little as 2-4 treatments. #3 "Liquid Face-lifts" with dermal fillers: Dermal fillers can help men look younger within 20 minutes with no downtime that would show they have had anything done. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Radiesse and Belotero Balance replace volume lost by aging especially in the mid-face/cheek area. By replacing the volume the jowles are lifted and the man looks instantly younger with results lasting around 1 year.

Winter Park Laser Adds New Filler-Belotero to Orlando Med Spa

Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center has been performing dermal fillers for 9 years at our Orlando Medical Spa and we are incredibly excited to add a new & unique dermal filler-Belotero Balance to our menu. This filler is by the makers of Radiesse. There is a large need for this filler as it is especially created for superficial fine lines & safe to inject in forehead lines & crows feet where we never would have injected other hyularonic acid fillers before. This is great for those clients who do not have deep lines but would still like correction. Belotero is specially designed to integrate into your skin and mold to your distinct facial contours. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler has unique properties that allow it to adapt within the skin for soft and even correction. The versatility of the product makes it strong enough to handle deep treatment areas such as smile lines around the mouth, yet soft enough to treat more delicate areas such as lines around the lips or crow's feet. This is even safe for the tear-trough area. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is made of a material called hyaluronic acid or HA. HA naturally exists as a component of your skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction. What makes this product unique is that the hyaluronic is already hydrated allowing us to go further up in the dermal tissue than normal for an accurate correction.
