The delicate skin beneath your eyes is often the first place to show signs of aging, stress, or lack of sleep. While countless eye creams claim to restore brightness and smoothness, the results are often minimal and delayed.
If you’re looking for a more effective solution, it may be time to search beyond the skincare aisle and call in help from the professionals. At Icon Aesthetics, we offer under-eye filler in Valparaiso as a clinically backed option for those looking to restore volume, soften shadows, and create a more refreshed, youthful appearance.
In this blog, we’ll explore the differences between topical treatments and injectable enhancement, and help you understand which option delivers the refreshed, well-rested look you’ve been searching for.
What Eye Creams Can (and Can’t) Do
Eye creams are an important foundation to skincare that helps enhance hydration, improve skin quality, and address specific skin concerns like dark circles and fine lines in the under-eye area.
Under-eye creams come in a variety of formulas, each set of ingredients working to improve different aspects of the skin. These ingredients include:
- Vitamin C for brightening dark circles
- Retinol for minimizing the appearance of fine lines
- Hyaluronic acid for deep moisture
Though these creams can enhance skin quality, there are limitations to what they are able to correct. Eye creams do not work quickly, and it is important to understand that the improvements they can offer are usually subtle (at best).
What Under-Eye Filler Does Differently
Under-eye filler is an aesthetic treatment that is aimed at addressing volume loss and rejuvenating the under-eye area. It uses hyaluronic acid-based injections to fill fine lines and wrinkles, while also promoting collagen production and tissue regeneration.
Because of this, under-eye filler does a few things differently than eye creams:
- Quick results: The results from under-eye filler are noticeable after just one appointment. No waiting for it to “kick in”. Just immediate results you’ll love in the mirror.
- Volume restoration: The hyaluronic acid in the fillers helps to replenish lost volume under the eyes quickly and effectively.
- Instant brightening: Under-eye fillers help to smooth the hollows and shadows that form under the eye, allowing for a rested, more youthful appearance after an injection.
- Longevity: Under-eye fillers can last 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler used and the patient’s specific metabolism.
When choosing between under-eye fillers and eye creams, assessing factors like your lifestyle, prior treatments, and skin concerns can help determine which options align best with your needs. Our team at Icon Aesthetics can walk you through the process of choosing between each treatment and help you choose the one that is right for you.
Sometimes, your provider may recommend incorporating additional treatments to encourage a complete facial refresh. If you want to learn more about these treatments, check out our blogs on Botox and lip fillers for more information.
Say Goodbye to Tired Eyes
While high-quality eye creams have their place in a thoughtful skincare routine, they often can’t deliver the level of transformation many are hoping for. To truly refresh and brighten the under-eye area, under-eye filler in Valparaiso offers precise, immediate results that restore volume and confidence.
At Icon Aesthetics, we specialize in natural-looking enhancements that honor your natural features while softening the signs of aging.
