Under-Eye Light Filling

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 are the Basic Information About Under-Eye Light Filler?

• How it Works: The filler material supports the sunken areas under the eyes and smooths the skin surface. It ensures that light is distributed homogeneously on the skin. It eliminates the appearance of shadows and dark circles that are aesthetically bothersome.
• Procedure: Before under-eye light filler, the injection area is numbed with anesthetic creams. The filler injection is performed with fine-tipped needles or cannulas, without damaging the blood vessels and nerves in the area. Therefore, it should be performed by a specialist physician who is familiar with facial anatomy.
• Recovery Time: The results of under-eye light filler are visible immediately after the procedure. However, slight swelling or bruising due to the injection is normal. After these effects subside, it may take 10 to 14 days for the filler to fully settle and for the final results to be seen.
• Duration of Effect: The duration of under-eye light filler can vary depending on the quality of the material used in the treatment and the individual's body metabolism. Generally, it can maintain its effect for 6 to 18 months.

How is Under-Eye Light Filler Applied?

• Preparation: Before the injection, topical creams with local anesthetic effects are applied to the targeted area under the eyes. This ensures a comfortable treatment experience for the patient.
• Injection: Your medical aesthetic doctor injects the filler material into the targeted points in the determined doses using a fine-tipped needle or cannula.
• Duration: Under-eye light filler treatment can usually be completed in a 15 to 20-minute session.

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?

• It has long-term permanence
• When performed by an experienced doctor, it has no side effects.

What are the Purpose and Benefits of the Application?

• Brightening Effect: The appearance of dark circles and bruises caused by shadowing is reduced, and the area is given a radiant glow.
• Moisture and Vitality: Thanks to the hyaluronic acid in under-eye light filler, the skin is deeply moisturized.
• Fast Results: The results of under-eye light filler begin to be seen immediately after injection. However, it takes one or two weeks for the final results to be seen.

What are the Side Effects and Harms of Under-eye Light Filler?

The area around the eyes is extremely sensitive and rich in blood vessels. Therefore, under-eye light filler treatment must be performed by a medical aesthetic physician who is well-versed in facial anatomy, in a clinical and sterile environment. If performed using incorrect techniques or under unsuitable conditions, serious complications, primarily blood vessel blockage, can occur.

Does Under-eye Light Filler Cause Allergic Reactions?

Hyaluronic acid is the most preferred substance among filler materials. The reason for this is that hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the human body. That is, hyaluronic acid-based filler materials do not create any allergic reactions. The benefits of hyaluronic acid are as follows:

• It protects the elasticity of the skin and accelerates its renewal.
• It delays the effects of aging.
• It prevents the formation of inflammation or irritation.
• It supports the production of collagen fibers.

How Does Swelling Pass After Under-eye Light Filler?

When the under-eye filler material is injected into the lower layer of the skin, mild bruising or swelling may occur for 5 to 7 days. This situation, which is completely temporary, is a natural reaction the body produces against the injection. You can return to your daily life after the filler procedure. The risk of bruising is minimized with the use of flexible cannulas.

Permanence Period of Under-eye Light Filler

The permanence period of under-eye light filler is between 12-18 months depending on the individuals the application is performed on. The amount of filler used during the procedure and the hollow under the eye also affect the permanence period of the filler.
