20 of 21Under Eye Lines
21 of 21Under Eye Bags and Dark Circles
Eye Bags generally appear when we lose foundation under our skin: namely bone, muscle and fat as we age. Some people have a genetic component to the creases under the eyes, which only gets more pronounced with time and age. Dark Circles are caused by the deepening creases in the skin below the eye in which light reflects off of. The deeper the under eye crease becomes, the more light is reflected off of, and the darker the skin appears. The EyeRise™, available only at VERVE, is a non-surgical procedure using a more advanced alternative to the needle called a cannula device. This advanced treatment includes a combination of carefully placed cosmetic fillers in both the tear trough and surrounding area of the mid-face. Learn more about EyeRise. LEARN MORE.
Full Facial Sagging
Facial sagging occurs when we lose foundation and volume or base below the skin. This loss of support leads to our skin to fold and sag. A non-surgical BaseLift™, exclusively at VERVE, can replace much of the volume and support in the lost area by artistically and skillfully sculpting the face back to its original position using a combination of dermal filler injections.

The creases that run from the edges of the nose to the sides of the mouth, also known as smile lines because when smiling, these creases become much more pronounced with maturity. The most common factors in deepening nasolabial folds are age relating to the loss of support under the skin, “the base of the face”. The most straightforward way to treat nasolabial folds is to fill in the skin beneath the folds themselves with cosmetic fillers. More effective and complete treatment of these folds often includes the use of cosmetic fillers to lift the skin in adjacent areas of the face such as the mid-face region, outer cheeks areas as well as beneath the jawline. It’s always best to select a dedicated cosmetic injectables Physician who can provide all of the filler options, as filling just the nasolabial folds alone may not provide for the most optimal results.
Also known as laugh lines, these are the lines or creases that appear at the corners of the mouth and extend downward. The loss of support under the skin in adjacent areas of the face such as the jaw line is often a major contribution to the formation of marionette lines. Cosmetic filler injections into areas around the mouth and jawline area are often the best approach to lift and re-support the marionette area back to its original natural position.
Neck sagging and chin area fat are often caused by a natural process called atrophy, or loss of the support system under the skin. The skin on the neck and under chin appears to sag, and the face begins to look hollowed, and the ligaments and blood vessels in our neck begin to appear more prominently. This area can often be re-sculpted with cosmetic fillers with great results as part of a Baselift procedure. In addition, the submental chin fat can often be treated with fillers or Kybella injections.
11 lines also referred to as “frown lines” or “movement lines” develop due to the muscular pull and movement from frowning and other facial expressions. These movements cause the skin on our foreheads to bend and fold, eventually forming permanent creases or indentations. The most effective first treatment for 11 lines are wrinkle relaxers (neuromodulators) including Botox Cosmetic or Xeomin, which relax the muscles that cause movement and wrinkling.
Depending on the condition, brows can often be lifted or contoured to a more rested or desired shapely appearance with non-surgical cosmetic injections. Treatments for this area are often referred to as a non-surgical brow lift at VERVE a BrowRise™. Depending on the desired result and exact area, dermal fillers, or Botox or Xeomin may be used to treat this area.
A gummy smile is evident when the focus of a person’s smile is their gums and not their teeth. This is most commonly caused by an overgrowth of gum tissue covering too much of a person’s teeth. Whether a person’s smile is gummy is determined by the proportion of their mouth and the amount of gum tissue they have. Injecting Botox or Xeomin near the upper lip is an effective and easy way to treat a gummy smile non-surgically. The most effective non-surgical treatment is Botox or Xeomin, neuromodulators, that help to relax muscles that would ordinarily overly raise the lips up over the gum.
Correcting a sagging jawline and jowls with cosmetic injectables is an effective way to better contour your face without making major changes. Patients can achieve a slimmer as well as a more sculpted jawline with cosmetic fillers in this area. The results look natural–there is no cutting of the skin.
