Undereye filler is usually applied using a filler containing hyaluronic acid or collagen. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that protects the moisture of the skin and makes the skin look fuller and healthier. Collagen is a protein that increases the elasticity of the skin. These substances are injected under the skin under the eyes to make the area look fuller and younger. Undereye filling procedure is performed by applying local anaesthesia. Before the procedure, the doctor questions the patient’s health status and allergic reactions. The patient’s expectations and wishes are also taken into consideration.
During the procedure, the filler is injected under the skin under the eye with the help of a fine needle. The filler is placed to shape and add volume to the area under the eye. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes and does not cause any discomfort to the patient except for a slight pain sensation. After the procedure, mild swelling and bruising may occur. However, these effects usually disappear within a few days. In the post-procedure period, patients are recommended to apply cold compresses to the under-eye area and avoid excessive physical activities for a few days. Undereye fillers may be suitable for women between the ages of 20-50. However, not everyone is suitable for this procedure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with blood clotting disorders, immune system problems, infections or skin lesions are not eligible for this procedure.
Undereye fillers are generally not a permanent solution. The filler is gradually absorbed and its effect decreases over time. Therefore, the procedure may need to be regularly repeated to ensure the continuity of the results. Undereye filler is an effective aesthetic treatment method to reduce the appearance of bags and dark circles under the eyes, compensate for the loss of volume in the skin and generally make the face look younger and fresher. However, it is important to consult a specialist doctor before the procedure and to perform it safely for eligible candidates.
