Under-eye light filler is a medical aesthetic treatment applied to eliminate hollows and tone changes such as bruising occurring under our eyes. Our under-eye area is the thinnest skin layer on our body. In addition, it is an extremely sensitive region due to the blood vessels and fat tissue located immediately beneath it. Numerous factors such as fatigue, an intense working pace, daily life stress, insufficient and poor-quality sleep, exposure to toxic components, and gravity can lead to the formation of dark circles in the under-eye area over time. With the under-eye light filler application, the appearance of these problems is alleviated in a short time. The individual achieves a younger, more vibrant, and aesthetic look. Medical Aesthetic Specialist Doctor Lida Çiteli, who serves her patients in Istanbul, explained for you what under-eye light filler is, why and how it is applied, what its advantages and risks are, and how its prices are determined.
What is Under-eye Light Filler?
Under-eye light filler is a medical aesthetic treatment applied to eliminate swelling, bruising, and dark circles occurring under the eyes. Generally performed using hyaluronic acid-based filler materials, under-eye light filler makes the eyelid more distinct and ensures the rejuvenation of the skin. By injecting hyaluronic acid onto the groove under the eye, moisture and fullness are restored to the skin. The filler material injected into the under-eye area provides a smoother and brighter appearance by filling under-eye bags, dark circles, and hollows.
What is the Difference Between Under-eye Light Filler and Mesotherapy?
Although under-eye light filler and mesotherapy applications are occasionally confused with each other, they are two completely different methods. Under-eye light filler focuses particularly on filling hollows by eliminating volume losses formed under the eyes. In mesotherapy treatment, however, the aim is more to increase skin quality, provide hydration, and alleviate the appearance of fine wrinkles. While under-eye light filler provides instant volume, mesotherapy treatments provide a gradual healing effect. Therefore, under-eye light filler is a more attractive treatment procedure for individuals whose under-eye hollows are prominent and who are bothered by this.
What are the Types of Under-eye Bruising and in Which One is Filler Effective?
Bruising occurring under the eyes is evaluated in three classes. These are:
- Bruising occurring due to pigment origin
- Bruising occurring due to vascular appearance
- The shadow effect occurring as a result of hollows due to tissue and volume loss
Under-eye light filler is an effective method especially in eliminating bruising caused by hollows. For darkness developing due to pigmentation problems, mesotherapy or laser treatment options can be evaluated.
Which Aesthetic Problems Can Be Corrected Simultaneously with Under-eye Light Filler?
Under-eye light filler is used not only for eliminating under-eye bruising but also for:
- Eliminating a tired facial expression
- Alleviating the appearance of fine wrinkles
- Improving light reflection by reducing the shadow effect
- And eliminating under-eye hollows.
In this way, the person achieves a more vigorous, young, vibrant, and radiant facial appearance.
At What Age Should Under-eye Light Filler Be Done?
Problems regarding the under-eye skin tissue can sometimes emerge at early ages due to genetic or environmental factors. Age 25 and over is considered suitable for under-eye light filler application. However, in under-eye light filler and many other medical aesthetic treatments, age is not a determining factor on its own. What matters here is the level of under-eye hollows and the volume loss in this region.
How Soon Does Under-eye Light Filler Show Its Effect?
The effects of under-eye light filler start to be seen immediately following the injection. However, a period of seven to ten days may be needed for the filler to fully settle and for the final results to emerge.
Does Under-eye Light Filler Require Repetition?
Yes, under-eye light filler performed with hyaluronic acid-based filler materials is absorbed by the body over time and begins to lose its effect. By repeating it regularly, the permanence period of the filler can be extended, and at the same time, the person's skin quality can be improved.
What are the Applications That Can Be Combined with Under-eye Light Filler?
Sometimes your doctor may apply under-eye light filler combined with different medical aesthetic treatments in line with your needs and expectations. These treatments are:
- Laser applications
- Botox injections
- PRP and
- Mesotherapy.
