Dermal fillers are substances injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features. They are made from various materials, including hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid, among others.

The primary purpose of dermal fillers is to restore lost volume to the face, which occurs naturally with age due to the loss of collagen and fat. They can also be used to enhance facial features such as the lips, cheeks, and jawline, as well as to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Dermal fillers are typically administered by a trained healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, through a series of small injections into the skin. The effects of dermal fillers can last from several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and the area of treatment.

How can dermal filler be used on the eye area?

Dermal fillers can be used to address a variety of concerns around the eye area, including under-eye bags, dark circles, and hollowing. Here are some common ways that dermal fillers are used around the eyes:

  1. Tear trough filling: This involves injecting filler into the area under the eye to reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollowing. This can help to create a more refreshed, youthful look.
  2. Eye bag reduction: Dermal fillers can be used to soften the appearance of eye bags by filling in the hollows beneath them. This can help to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
  3. Eyebrow lifting: Filler can be used to lift the outer corner of the eyebrows, which can create a more lifted and youthful appearance around the eyes.
  4. Crow’s feet reduction: Small amounts of filler can be used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes, known as crow’s feet.

It’s important to note that dermal filler injections around the eye area should only be performed by a trained and experienced medical professional. Risks and side effects can include bruising, swelling, and infection, so it’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions closely.
