Under eye dermal fillers provide the answers to several common cosmetic problems, including loss of volume under the eyes, fine lines and wrinkles, and dark circles under the eyes. They can provide a very easy way to combat the age-related decline in skin tone and loss of skin resilience, as well as damage caused by excess sun exposure.
There are a great many different dermal filler products that can be used, depending on the type of problem or problems being addressed. Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, the principal component in our skin that retains moisture – injecting fillers into the skin and underlying tissue augments the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, and combats a wide range of age-related cosmetic issues.
Types of Problems Addressed
Under-eye dermal fillers can resolve hollows under the eyes caused by the loss of fat. Aging can also result in fat migrating away from the area around the eyes, creating sunken eyes and a noticeable line between the under eye area and the cheeks. Under eye hollows often result in a tired and unhealthy appearance – they’re caused by normal aging but can be exacerbated by long-term insufficient sleep. Dermal fillers can address this problem very effectively and quickly.
Fillers can also help to hide fine lines and wrinkles that can form around the eyes and between the eyes and the nose. Fillers may be less effective in cases where you have excess skin and skin folds under the eyes.
Safe and Effective
Dermal fillers are safe, and far less invasive than surgical alternatives. There is some risk of swelling or bruising after treatment, but these side effects are very short-term. Dermal filler procedures are normally quite rapid and require minimal downtime afterward.
Immediate and Long-Lasting Results
The benefits of dermal fillers become apparent right after treatment and continue to improve in the days that follow. Any swelling or lumpiness quickly subsides as the injected filler continues to absorb moisture, causing it to soften and spread out more evenly.
Although the benefits of dermal fillers are long-lasting, they are not permanent. Depending on the condition of your skin and the kinds of problems that you’re dealing with, expect the results of dermal fillers to last at least six months, and up to two years. The duration also depends on the type of dermal filler product used. Dermal filler procedures can be repeated whenever needed – subsequent treatments often require less work than your initial treatment did.
Natural-Looking Results
Because dermal fillers mimic the natural processes that your body uses to retain moisture, they can give very natural-looking results. The choice of the appropriate filler product (or products), and the knowledge of exactly where to apply the filler, and in what amount, will be made by the practitioner that you choose.
It’s very important to find someone who is not only medically trained and qualified but who is also very experienced in the application of dermal fillers. The quality and naturalness of the results are highly dependent on the skill of the person performing the procedure. Using too much filler will result in very unnatural-looking results, a common problem when using inexperienced practitioners.
