Look Your Best by Getting Under Eye Fillers Today

Ever looked in the mirror and noticed the dark smudges underneath your eyes? They make you look tired and may even give your face a hollow appearance. 

Under eye filler, sometimes referred to as tear trough filler, can refresh this part of your face, making you look lively and radiant.

You might wonder what causes that area under your eyes to look so drab. 

Our faces change shape greatly as we age. The face loses volume as we grow older. This affects the fat pads and bone structure of the face, especially the tear trough.

Excessive weight loss can also play a factor and lead to hollows under the eyes, giving your face a sunken look.

A tear trough filler is a gel-like substance that is injected beneath the skin in multiple locations. This is often referred to as a dermal filler. It is made from a naturally occurring compound in the body – hyaluronic acid. 

The injections add necessary volume to the tear trough area reducing the depth of the under-eye hollows. Another positive side effect is that the dark smudges fade leaving the skin with a more natural colour.

This type of procedure, while effective on its own, often sees the best result when used in conjunction with other facial injections.

Under eye filler injections are a medical procedure, so they do carry some risks. Patients most often experience redness, swelling, bruising, and discolouration at the site of the injection. 

They may experience temporary pain and tenderness as well. These side effects are often temporary and usually dissipate within a few days of receiving the injections. 

There is the potential for some delayed reactions including allergic reactions to the filler itself.

Whilst results are noticeable immediately following the procedure, the best results are achieved two to three weeks after. Persons undergoing under eye filler treatments may see results lasting up to 12 months depending upon age, genetics, and lifestyle.

Maintenance treatments are often suggested to maintain this improved look as it will eventually fade over time.

The tear trough area can be a source of embarrassment for some women, but under eye fillers can reduce their feelings of self-consciousness and give them joy about their looks once again.
