Undereye Filler
Undereye Filler
Under-eye filler is a gentle cosmetic technique designed to address various concerns such as dark circles, wrinkles, and hollows beneath the eyes. This procedure involves the precise injection of a soft tissue filler, usually enriched with hyaluronic acid, a natural hydrating compound found in the skin. By replenishing lost volume and refining skin texture, under-eye filler helps achieve a more vibrant appearance. Unlike surgical alternatives, this minimally invasive approach offers rejuvenation without extensive downtime. With results typically lasting up to two years, it's a preferred choice for those seeking a non-surgical solution to enhance their under-eye area.
When discussing concerns regarding the under eye region and the use of dermal fillers, understanding the anatomy is essential for achieving a natural appearance. Typically, dermal filler treatments consist of several sessions spread out over a period of weeks or months, tailored to accommodate the size of the area and the necessary filler volume. During the initial session, precise injections are administered to address hollows, wrinkles, and revitalize the area, resulting in a refreshed appearance. Additional sessions may be advised to attain the desired outcome fully. It's important to mention that while dermal filler effects are temporary, periodic touch-up sessions can help sustain the results over time.

What can you anticipate following your treatment?
Following your under eye filler treatment, it's normal to experience some swelling, bruising, or redness around the injection site. These effects typically last a few days and can be managed with a cold compress. It's important to avoid touching the area and to use sun protection to minimize any risk of discoloration. Additionally, it's best to refrain from strenuous activities as they may affect the results of the filler. While most people notice immediate improvements, the full benefits usually become more apparent over the next few days. Overall, you can expect to see and feel the rejuvenating effects of the filler shortly after the procedure.
Post-treatment Guidelines:
For optimal results and safety, follow these post-treatment guidelines:
● Physical Activity: Refrain from strenuous exercise or activities that exert excessive pressure on the treated area for the next 24 hours to allow for proper healing.
● Medication: Avoid consuming anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or aspirin for the next 48 hours post-treatment, as they may interfere with the healing process.
● Handling the Area: Resist the urge to touch, massage, or apply pressure to the injection site to prevent any potential displacement of the injected product.
● Sleeping Position: For at least a week following the treatment, try to avoid sleeping on your face to prevent any unintended pressure on the treated area.
● Sun Protection: Shield the treated area from direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for the next 2 weeks to prevent any adverse reactions or discoloration. Apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 40 when outdoors.
● Swelling Relief: Use a cold compress intermittently to alleviate swelling and any discomfort experienced after the procedure.
● Facial Treatments: Refrain from undergoing any facial treatments such as waxing, facials, or laser procedures for the next 4 weeks to allow for proper healing and to prevent irritation.
● Elevation: Maintain a slightly elevated head position while sleeping to minimize swelling and optimize the recovery process.
● Alcohol Consumption: Avoid consuming alcohol for the next 24 hours post-treatment to support the body's natural healing process and reduce any potential side effects.
