Vue Enhancement in Atlanta, GA

VUE: Under-Eye Filler & Tear Trough Treatment

The hottest new application for facial fillers is a procedure called “VUE”, ” Volumizing Under-eye Enhancement” developed by double board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Louis M DeJoseph, MD at Premier Image Cosmetic & Laser Surgery. The treatment restores youthfulness to the eyes with the use of the dermal filler to volumize and support this under eyelid area alleviating the hollow, tired appearance caused by dark circles and crepey skin of the lower eyelids. Often, dark circles are the result of fat bulging in the lower eyelid that is exaggerated by a loss of volume that creates a hollow area called the “tear trough”. By placing the dermal filler, into this “tear-trough”, there is less shadow and therefore improvement in dark circles, making you look more youthful and rested.

Many individuals have the desire to achieve a youthful and well-rested look. However, dark circles and wrinkled skin around the eyelids can add years to the face, and make a person look perpetually tired. In recent years, dermal fillers have become a popular way to soften wrinkles, fill deep lines, and create a fresh and full look to the lips. Today, they are also used to improve the appearance of the eye area and give patients the opportunity to look younger, well-rested, and rejuvenated with a simple, minimally-invasive procedure. At Premier Image Cosmetic & Laser Surgery, Dr. DeJoseph has developed a revolutionary treatment known as the Volumizing Under-Eye enhancement or VUE enhancement. The VUE uses a dermal filler to add volume and support to the under-eyelid area. The VUE alleviates the tired and hollow appearance that often results from dark circles and the crepe-thin skin of the lower eyelids.

How the VUE Enhancement Works

Dark circles are usually caused by fat bulging in the lower eyelid that is made more prominent by volume loss that creates a hollow area called the “tear trough.” In the VUE enhancement procedure, dermal fillers are placed into this “tear trough” so that there is less shadowing and a significant improvement in dark circles.

The VUE procedure is non-surgical, minimally-invasive, and is typically completed in as little as 20 minutes. A fine needle is used to inject a soft tissue filler into the tear troughs, instantly smoothing and rejuvenating the area. The procedure involves very little discomfort, and patients can get back to normal activities almost immediately, with few side effects.

Dermal fillers are not permanent treatments, so patients will need to repeat the procedure in order to maintain results. This is typically necessary every 18-24 months.

Good Candidates for the VUE Enhancement

The VUE enhancement procedure was specifically created to help patients look years younger by smoothing out the wrinkles under their eyes and lighting dark circles. Patients who are always in search of the right concealer to disguise under eye perfections are excellent candidates for the Volumizing Under-Eye enhancement. The VUE enhancement is also a good option for men and women who would like to get rid of the sunken, exhausted look they wear on a daily basis. Since fillers are very safe, candidacy requirements are minimal, but patients should be in general good health and have realistic expectations.

What to Expect from a VUE Enhancement Consultation

Patients who are interested in the VUE technique will need to schedule a private consultation at our Atlanta facility. A Premier Image doctor will meet with you to go over the details of the procedure and determine whether the Volumizing Under-Eye enhancement makes sense for your particular concerns and goals. This procedure will only be recommended to patients who are in good physical health, have dark circles and under eye wrinkles that bother them, and are realistic about the results.
