The first part that catches the eye when evaluating our face is the under-eye area. The collapse and bruises that appear under the eyes over time make us look older and tired. The only solution to get rid of these symptoms and have a younger and more vigorous appearance is not to lie under the scalpel. Under-eye light filling, which we have been hearing frequently in recent days, is highly preferred because it is the most effective of the filling types applied to the face area in eliminating such complaints.
What is Under-eye light filling? How to performed?
It is a form of treatment applied to eliminate detention collapse and bruising conditions that usually occur due to structural reasons or advancing age effects. Under-eye light filling is obtained by passing a dermal filler containing hyaluronic acid through special processes and making it suitable for the eye area.
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.
The procedure, which is completed in about half an hour, starts with disinfecting the under-eye area with antiseptic solutions. After the application area is numbed with the help of an anaesthetic 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.
Suitable patient profile for under-eye light filling
All people with complaints of bruising, collapse, brown circles and wrinkles under the eyes constitute a suitable patient profile for the application.
Although light filling does not cause any side effects on mother and baby, it is not recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers. In addition, people with coagulation problems, people in the active period of autoimmune diseases (such as Behçet’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroid) and people with hypersensitivity to the filler are not suitable for the procedure.
Before you have the procedure;
- You should inform your doctor if you are taking regular medication.
- 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.
