READ THIS Before You Get Those Under Eye Fillers!

When you are constantly staring at a screen and using electronic devices throughout the day, it is normal for your eyes to suffer from fatigue. Sometimes, not getting enough sleep can also result in under-eye bags that make our skin look dull and tired. But even after getting enough sleep, sometimes these dark circles just won’t go away. The solution? Under-eye fillers will help smoothen any fine lines and reduce the appearance of dark circles. If you are planning on getting under-eye fillers and need a little more info before committing, Beauty Insider can help with that. Here’s everything you need to know about under-eye fillers!

What Are Under Eye Fillers?

Under-eye fillers or tear trough fillers are technically soft gels that contain Hyaluronic Acid, which is a natural bio-degradable compound that is found in your connective tissues. Some of the well-known and common brands of under-eye fillers are Restylane, Belotero, Juvederm and Stylage.

In the past, some of the only treatments for improving your sunken eyes and getting rid of eye bags were surgical eye bag treatments. Well, thanks to the recent development in technology and science, we now have non-surgical options.

What Are The Benefits Of Under Eye Fillers?

First, the under-eye fillers help improve the appearance of your dark circles and your sunken eyes by volumising the area and stretching out your skin, to avoid it looking hollow. Next, under-eye fillers also help in camouflaging your eye bags so they do not look prominent.

How Is The Procedure Performed?

The under-eye fillers are injected precisely into the tear trough area of your under the eye. This fills up the hollowness that surrounds your eyes while camouflaging your eye bags.

Once you’re done with a consultation if the under-eye filler is the perfect treatment for you, topical anaesthesia or numbing cream will then be applied for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Then, the dermal filler will be injected into your under-eye area in small and precise doses using two methods which are either using a sharp needle or a blunt micro-cannula.

How Long Can The Fillers Last?

The results of your under-eye fillers are almost immediate and the results will become more natural as the swelling resolves within 1 to 3 days after the non-surgical eye bag removal. However, the results of the under-eye fillers would last you somewhere between 9 to 12 months, depending on the individual.

Some of these factors that may affect how your under-eye filler will last are:

• Lifestyle
• Smoking
• Metabolism
• Medical conditions

Is The Procedure Safe?

Yes, it is. The under-eye fillers are an extremely safe treatment under the treatment at a well-renowned, licensed and professional aesthetic clinic. You should always do extensive research before getting it done.

Is It Suitable For Everyone?

The under-eye fillers are suitable for everyone with all skin types as they use Hyaluronic acid fillers. Also, as the gels are colourless, they would suit every skin tone as well.

However, the under-eye fillers may not really be suitable for those of you who have these conditions:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Bleeding disorders
• Skin allergies that would affect your face
• A known allergy to fillers or local anaesthetics

Also, usually, a thorough medical history will be taken before you can begin your treatment.

What Are Some Of The Side Effects Of The Procedure?

Technically, when the under-eye fillers treatment is performed by a trained medical expert, your side effects will be at a minimal level. You may experience effects like mild redness and some slight swelling after your treatment which would go down in a couple of hours to a day.

In some cases, some rare side effects are:

• Skin infection
• Granuloma formation
• Skin necrosis (very rare)
• Blinded (very rare)

These cases are very rare as only HSA-approved dermal fillers will be used for treatments.

How Do I Prepare Myself Before The Treatment?

You should be mindful to avoid alcohol on the day of your treatment. Additionally, you should avoid these medications for 3 days before your treatment to avoid any sort of bruising:

• Aspirin
• Fish oil supplements
• Vitamin E supplements
• Gingko Biloba
• Ginseng
• Herbal remedies
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications

What Are Some Aftercare Tips?

You should strictly avoid alcohol and exercise for about 6 to 12 hours after your treatment to avoid the risk of swelling and bruising. Additionally, avoid deep massage to the treated area in order for the fillers not to move.

Is It Painful?

Here’s an answer that will shock you – No. Under-eye fillers are not as painful as the doctor will apply a numbing cream, ice packs, and a blunt micro-cannula to help ease the pain.

Is There Downtime?

Yes, there is a slight downtime of 1 to 2 days. However, there might be risks of bruising that takes about 3 to 4 days to completely recover. It is recommended that you do not go for the under-eye fillers if you have a attend a function for the next couple of days.

Can I Reverse Or Dissolve Under Eye Fillers?

One of the main advantages of getting under-eye fillers is that the fillers are dissolvable. Hence, if you’re unhappy with the results, they can be dissolved.

How Often Should I Get It Done?

You can get these fillers every 6 to 12 months in order to maintain a constant appearance. However, this is also something that you should consult with your doctor.

Botox vs Fillers: Both are injection treatments but which should you go for?⁣ ⁣ a. How they work: Botox temporarily relaxes muscles while Fillers add volume.⁣ ⁣ b. Where they’re used: Botox is used to treat wrinkles like frown lines and crow’s feet by reducing muscle activity around these lines, while Fillers treat deep lines like nasolabial folds.⁣ ⁣ c. When results are visible: Results from Botox treatments can be seen within a week and last for 3-4 months. Fillers provide instantly visible results, and can last between 12-36 months.⁣ ⁣ d. Price of treatments: Botox can cost between $300 – $1,000 per treatment depending on the area of the face treated, while each syringe of Fillers cost $700 – $1,200 and it’s common to require more than 1 syringe per treatment session.⁣ ⁣ For more in-depth information, please call or whatsapp us for an appointment.⁣ ⁣ 📞 Call us at 6935 1811.⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📱 WhatsApp us at 9610 5102.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ #SozoAesthetic #YouOnlyBetter #CustomisedSolutions
