Under-eye fillers are a popular facial rejuvenation treatment for people looking to brighten and fill the area under their eyes. When performed by a professional, such as a dermatologist, the procedure is very safe and can provide immediate results. However, it is important to note that fillers are not able to solve all problems under the eyes. They are best used to fill in lost volume, which means you have noticeable tears and physical gaps under your eyes.
It is also important to be aware that under-eye filler is an off-label treatment, meaning it has not received FDA approval. While rare, there are some risks associated with the procedure, such as the Tyndall effect (when the skin turns blue) or death of tissue around the eye. To minimize these risks, it is important to find a certified professional if you choose to get fillers. Under-eye filler is non-invasive and has little or no downtime.
Bruises may last longer, but they should go away within a week. No real aftercare is required. Dermal fillers can be a good option to restore the appearance of young people in the area under the eyes. Your doctor may place them in the area under your eyes to soften the hollow spaces and make them look thicker and less shadowy. If you experience any adverse effects from the filler, such as pigment or color changes, an injection of hyaluronidase can help break down the hyaluronic acid in the filler.
Synthetic fillers, such as calcium hydroxylapatite, polymethylmethacrylate or poly-L-lactic acid compounds, should not be used under the eyes. Fortunately, there are over-the-counter solutions available that contain essential ingredients like hyaluronic acid fillers that can help replenish and retain moisture in the area under your eyes. These products can also help lift sagging upper eyelids and give volume to your eyelashes. In conclusion, under-eye fillers can be a beneficial facial rejuvenation treatment when done carefully by a certified professional. It is important to be aware of potential risks associated with the procedure and to understand that it cannot solve all problems under the eyes.
