The under-eye area is one of the most sensitive and thin skin regions of our face. This area can be easily affected by factors such as fatigue, stress, sleeplessness and ageing. Over time the under-eye skin begins to thin, and bruising, circles, hollows and fine wrinkles can form. Such problems can leave a tired and aged impression on the person. However, in recent years, thanks to non-surgical aesthetic treatments such as under-eye light filler, the aesthetic problems in this area can be easily corrected. Under-eye light filler is a treatment method, usually applied with hyaluronic-acid-based injections, performed to eliminate the bruising, hollows, volume loss and fine wrinkles in the under-eye area. In this article we will provide comprehensive information about this treatment by answering questions such as what under-eye light filler is, how it is done, who it is suitable for and what advantages it offers.
What Is Under-Eye Light Filler?
Under-eye light filler is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure applied to eliminate the dark circles, bruising and hollows under the eye. In this procedure, a filler material containing hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin with fine-tipped needles. Hyaluronic acid is a compound naturally found in the skin that has the capacity to hold water. This substance, by filling the gaps under the eye, eliminates the volume loss and makes the skin in the area look smoother and younger. Under-eye light filler can also reduce the appearance of the vessels and bleeding under the eye. In this way, the dark circles and bruising under the eye are markedly reduced and a brighter, more vigorous appearance is obtained.
How Is Under-Eye Light Filler Done? The under-eye light filler procedure usually includes the following steps: 1. Consultation and Evaluation: First, Op. Dr. Ayşe Öznur Akidil evaluates the under-eye area. At this stage, a personalised treatment plan is created by taking into account factors such as the patient's complaints, the condition of the bruising under the eye, the hollows and the volume loss.
2. Anaesthesia Application: Before the procedure, a local anaesthetic cream is applied to the under-eye area. This cream prevents any pain or discomfort from being felt during the injection. Thanks to local anaesthesia, the procedure is usually painless. 3. Injection of the Filler Material: The most important stage of the procedure, done comfortably thanks to the anaesthesia, is the injection of the filler material into the under-eye area. Using fine-tipped needles, the filler material containing hyaluronic acid is placed into the under-eye hollows and the areas experiencing volume loss. This stage is quite fast and usually takes 15-20 minutes.
4. Results and the Recovery Process: The results can be seen immediately after the procedure. The bruising under the eye decreases, the area brightens and a more vigorous appearance emerges. Mild swelling or bruising can form after the procedure, but these effects pass within a few days. Mild swelling lasting 1-2 days at the injection site is normal and is a temporary situation.
The Advantages of Under-Eye Light Filler Under-eye light filler is an effective treatment option that quickly corrects the aesthetic problems under the eye. Here are some advantages provided by this application:
1. Fast and Effective Results: Under-eye light filler is done with a procedure that usually takes 15-20 minutes and its effect is seen immediately. The filler, by filling the hollows under the eye, reduces the bruising and dark circles in the area, thus providing a younger and more vigorous appearance.
2. Minimally Invasive: This procedure does not require surgical intervention. It is done only by injection, which speeds up the recovery time and reduces the risk.
3. Natural Results: Hyaluronic-acid-based filler materials are compatible with the skin and provide natural results. Since the effect of the filler material is temporary, it disappears over time, which allows the person to return to a natural appearance.
4. Fast Recovery Process: After the procedure you can return to your daily life immediately. There can be mild bruising or swelling lasting a few days at the procedure site, but these pass quickly.
5. Painless: Thanks to the local anaesthetic cream used during the procedure, under-eye light filler is usually painless. There can be a minimal feeling of discomfort during the injection, but most people can go through this process comfortably.
Who Is Under-Eye Light Filler Suitable For? Under-eye light filler is a suitable treatment option especially for people in the following situations:
• Those with Under-Eye Hollows: Volume loss and hollows can form in the under-eye area genetically or due to age. Light filler, by filling these hollows, allows the surface to become smoother.
• Individuals Who Look Tired: Due to fatigue, stress or sleeplessness, the under-eye area can become more prominent. Under-eye light filler corrects the tired image in the area and gives a more vivid appearance.
• Those with Signs of Ageing: As one ages, the skin loses its elasticity and the skin in the under-eye area sags. Light filler reduces the aged appearance by supporting the midface.
How Long Do the Results of Under-Eye Light Filler Last? Since under-eye light filler contains hyaluronic acid, its effect is temporary. The effect of the filler material usually lasts between 6-12 months. Over time the body begins to absorb the hyaluronic acid, and for this reason the fullness under the eye disappears. However, light filler applications done regularly can help the effects continue for a longer time.
Comparison of Under-Eye Light Filler with Other Methods Under-eye light filler offers many advantages compared to other under-eye treatment methods. Although the bruising or hollows under the eye can be eliminated especially with methods such as laser treatments or chemical peeling, these methods usually require a longer recovery time. Under-eye light filler, on the other hand, provides fast and effective results, the recovery process is quite short and natural-looking results are obtained. Under-eye light filler offers an effective solution for eliminating the bruising, hollows, volume loss and fine wrinkles under the eye. Besides being a non-surgical procedure,
it gives a younger, more dynamic and brighter look by providing natural and non-permanent results. Suitable for both women and men, this treatment is an ideal choice for those who want to get fast and effective results without disrupting their daily life.
