Under Eye Light Filler

Light filling is an application that eliminates detention problems such as bruising, brown circles, bagging and swelling that develop due to various reasons. Factors such as advancing age, sleep irregularity, fatigue, genetic structure, smoking and alcohol use are the main causes of detention problems.

Under-eye light filling is obtained by making the dermal filler containing hyaluronic acid suitable for the eye contour through special processes. The procedure, known as light filling because it increases the moisture and elasticity of the skin and provides a vivid and bright appearance in the problematic area, is not recommended for patients with excessive under-eye bagging.

Light filling is a painless medical method that can be applied to both women and men and results are obtained in a single procedure.

How is Under Eye Light Filler Applied?

The procedure, which is completed in about half an hour, starts with disinfecting the under-eye area with an antiseptic solution. After the application area is numbed with the help of an anesthetic cream, the filler is applied to the problematic area. Under-eye light filler is injected on the bone, not under the skin like other fillers. After the application, it is extremely normal to have small redness in the injection area, but they disappear within 3-4 hours.

Under-eye light filling, where a single session is often sufficient, can also be applied in 3 sessions at 3-week intervals. Although it varies from person to person, the procedure, which maintains its effects for an average of 8-12 months, can maintain its effects much longer over time if applied at regular intervals.

Due to the injection, very slight redness may occur at the points where the cannula enters under the skin. These completely normal rednesses disappear after 3-4 hours without the need for intervention.

Things to Consider Before the Procedure

• You should inform your doctor if you are taking regular medications.
• If you are taking any food support, you should also inform your doctor. In addition, garlic, fish oil, green tea, echinacea, ginseng, vitamin E and vitamin C should not be consumed for 2 weeks before the application as they prevent clotting.
• Alcohol intake should be stopped 3 days before the procedure.
• If there is a herpes infection around the eyes, under-eye light filling cannot be performed. In cases of recurrent herpes in this area, you should definitely inform your doctor and have the appropriate herpes treatment first.

Who Cannot Have Light Filling?

The procedure, which removes mild bagging problems, is not recommended for patients with excessive bagging problems under the eyes.

Although no side effects on mother and baby have been detected, it is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers because it is a medical procedure.

In addition, people with coagulation problems, people in the active period of autoimmune diseases (such as Behçet’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroid) or people with hypersensitivity to the filler are not suitable for under-eye light filling.

Is One Session Enough for Under Eye Light Filling?

Most of the time, a single application is sufficient to get results from the procedure. Although it varies according to the person’s constitution and the severity of the complaint, a one-time application maintains its effects for 8-12 months on average. If the application is repeated regularly, once a year, the duration of its effect increases.
