Do you feel like you always have dark circles under your eyes? It doesn’t matter if you get four hours of sleep or twelve – nothing seems to make them go away or cover them up.
Over-the-counter products leave you with buyer’s remorse, because they just never show results. If you’re ready to ditch the concealer and love your selfies again, take a look at what dermal fillers for under-eye circles can do for you!
The reason you have under-eye circles is likely due to the symptoms of aging skin. As we grow older, our bodies stop producing the amount of collagen we need to keep our skin full, refreshed, and bright.
This means the hollows of your facial structure in places like under your eyes and your temples might start to show through your skin.
The best non-invasive option to actually get rid of these dark circles are dermal fillers.
They often use hyaluronic acid (HA), which is something your body produces naturally, in order to boost your collagen production in the treated area. The result is smoother, brighter, and rejuvenated skin. Finally, no more dark circles!
Dermal filler is safe for all skin types and skin tone and is well-tolerated by most people.
It’s important to find a provider that knows how to work with darker skin tones, because people with dark skin are more susceptible to scarring.
Under-eye filler is actually a form of dermal filler, and all dermal fillers are considered non-invasive. They are virtually pain-free, take just a few minutes, and require no downtime afterward. Many people have under-eye injections and go about most of their usual daily activities.
You might experience a little redness, swelling, and tenderness at the injection sites. However, these side effects are easily managed on your own with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice-packs.
After your injections, you need to avoid excessive heat sources, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. Sweat can cause your injection sites to become infected, and heat may cause your filler to migrate from its intended location.
Right away! Immediately, the hollows under the eyes have volume, brightening and rejuvenating the area.
As the HA works to draw collagen and moisture back to the hollows under your eyes, you will see your skin becoming even brighter and more full over the course of a week. After that, you can throw that concealer in the trash!
You can expect to experience beautiful, refreshed looking eyes with under-eye filler for up to nine months. That’s almost an entire year! And actually, many people maintain results for much longer.
Dermal filler is naturally absorbed by your body, so you need to return for more treatments. However, staying healthy and, especially, hydrated always aids in a more youthful appearance.
You can continue to refresh your filler as many times as you’d like. The best thing to do is get on a schedule with your provider, so you never miss an appointment to help maintain a youthful look to your eyes.
Different brands of dermal fillers should never be mixed. Be sure to find a board-certified dermatologist to perform your injections, and always discuss your complete health history with your provider.
