The area under your eye is also known as the tear trough, you might know it as the ‘bags under your eyes’. The shallow dark circles under your eyes can make you look tired and increase the appearance of ageing.
To counteract this natural problem, soft fillers can be applied to the hollow area of the eye, to create a very subtle but effective result, leaving the face looking more youthful and revitalised. These fillers make the area under your eye look plumper and brighter, removing those dark circles.
An under-eye-filler is an injectable treatment that is designed to get rid of those dark circles under your eyes. The filler is usually made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced in the body, the filler is made from a gel that mimics the body’s natural substance. Under-eye-fillers can also be made from different fillers made from other substances like poly-L-lactic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite.
This filler is perfect because it is transparent and easy for the specialist to smooth out, helping to create the perfect look.
Before the procedure, we will provide you with a free consultation where we will discuss the look you are trying to achieve and will analyse your face to make sure this is something we can do using this procedure. We will then discuss the procedure in full and answer any questions you might have.
Once we are ready to begin the procedure we will apply a local anaesthetic, to help reduce any pain or discomfort. We will then inject the fillers into the area under your eyes, into the rim and your cheekbone.
The entire procedure generally lasts about 30 minutes to complete and it is relatively simple and painless.
The results from an under-eye filler are immediate and full after care is provided.
There is no recovery time with this procedure, you can go about your daily busy as normal. However, you may experience some side effects, including swelling, redness and bruising. These are generally minimal and will subside in 1-2 days.
Under-eye fillers tend to last about 12 to 18 months. This is because the body naturally starts to break down the hyaluronic acid. You are able to have this treatment again once the initial procedure has worn off.
