Under-eye rejuvenation is an incredible way to improve loss of volume and elasticity, wrinkles, and signs of aging in the eye area. Under eye rejuvenation, when started early can be used as a preventative treatment, or to improve signs of aging that have already occurred.
Today we are talking about two popular eye treatments; polynucleotides and dermal fillers. Both have their place in a treatment plan and offer incredible, yet different results.
Polynucleotide-based Rejuvenation
Polynucleotides are filtered and ultra-purified natural DNA fractions, typically derived from salmon DNA, that initiate your body's natural fibroblast production, resulting in increased collagen and a thicker, healthier epidermis. Polynucleotides, often called PN, are a powerful skin healer and cellular rejuvenator.
The benefits of the use of polynucleotides under the eyes are profound. PN improves cell turnover and function, which in turn restores hydration, elasticity, and texture in the skin. Because PN stimulates fibroblast activity, a significant boost in natural collagen is achieved using PN mesotherapy and microneedling, revitalizing the skin and under-eye area.
Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler-based Rejuvenation
Dermal fillers are typically composed of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, creating a durable gel that is compatible with our body’s natural hyaluronic acid. These fillers are available in various viscosities, tailored to address specific areas of volume loss and to enhance the aesthetics and symmetry of the face and body.
One of the most effective applications of dermal fillers is in under-eye rejuvenation. They are particularly beneficial for restoring lost volume and addressing under-eye hollowness. A combined approach, using dermal fillers to replenish volume and polynucleotide treatments for their reparative benefits, offers a powerful solution for under-eye treatment, enhancing both the appearance and overall skin health in this delicate area.
How long does it last?
Dermal fillers are known for their excellent longevity, lasting up to 12 months in the under-eye area. PN treatments are most effective when administered in a series of 2-3 sessions spaced 14 days apart. To maintain the results, it is recommended to follow up with quarterly treatments.
Differences and Considerations
Dermal fillers are often chosen as a treatment based on their immediate results in restoring lost volume, however, there are some things to consider when choosing an under-eye rejuvenation treatment. Dermal filler, although incredibly safe when done correctly, does come with the risk of vascular occlusion. When treating the tear trough of the eye, dermal fillers do a better, more immediate job than PN in this area.
Polynucleotide offers a more natural approach to under-eye restoration by building natural collagen, repairing the skin in the treatment area, and restoring elasticity. PN is a healer, and this takes time. Although results do start to show within a week of treatment with PN, they are gradual. With consistency and patience, PN produces incredible results. Unlike dermal filler, most Polynucleotide treatments have little to no risk of vascular occlusion.
Comprehensive Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Dermal Fillers and Polynucleotide Treatments
Both dermal fillers and polynucleotide (PN) treatments are powerful tools for under-eye rejuvenation, offering proven anti-aging benefits. These treatments can be used separately as standalone options or combined in a strategic approach to address the various signs of aging that commonly affect the under-eye area.
When planning a combination treatment, it is recommended to begin with a PN treatment series, consisting of 3 monthly sessions. After assessing the results of the PN treatments, any remaining areas of volume loss can then be addressed with the use of dermal fillers. This method ensures a comprehensive rejuvenation of the under-eye area, targeting both skin quality and volume loss.
It’s important to note that a conservative approach to dermal fillers is advisable—remember that a little filler goes a long way. It’s much easier to add more filler later if needed than to remove excess. This careful, staged approach helps achieve natural-looking results while minimizing the risk of overcorrection
