She confessed to having tried every concealer on the market from cheap brands all the way up to the fancy French brands sold only through upscale department stores. She even resorted to wearing glasses as a cover-up even though she did not need them to improve her vision. She made an appointment with a physician who informed her that she had little fat or collagen in the area below the eyes. This made the facial muscle that looks purple visible beneath her skin. The doctor informed her that genes are primarily to blame however alcohol, smoking, quick weight loss and lack of sleep along with dehydration are also factors. The single most impactful culprit is one none of us can avoid, which is aging. The doctor recommended Restylane injectable to improve the area. After having the procedure performed, the patient reported that she did not see a noticeable difference. She did feel that with concealer they were better.
