Dark circles under the eyes are a common problem that can be seen in youth and with aging. In young people, it's often due to genetic factors and can be exacerbated by lack of sleep, allergies, dehydration, and erratic lifestyle.
What can I expect during my treatment?
Dr. Levin begins with a consultation to examine your face and skin, discuss your aesthetic goals and decide whether filler is your best option. If she feels that you are not a candidate for filler, she will explain why and offer alternative treatment options.
Some patients prefer to have a numbing cream applied. Many patients prefer to use ice as an anesthetic to avoid skin irritation from numbing creams and feel that the treatment is still very comfortable. A very fine needle or blunt-tipped cannula is used to inject small amounts of HA filler into the areas under your eyes. This is done precisely and carefully. However, in the skilled hands of Dr. Levin, the injection period will only take a few minutes.
