The Rise of Dermal Fillers for Treating Under-Eye Shadows

The eyes are one part of the face that tends to show age the most. Over time, fine lines start to appear in the corners and there might be noticeable shadows or ‘bags’ under the lower eyelids, which can leave somebody looking worn out and tired. Many people use cosmetics products such as concealer to hide shadows under the eyes. However, more people are turning to cosmetic surgery to deal with shadows or bags under the eyes, as it provides a more natural-looking, semi-permanent solution that can last up to many months or even years.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injected under the skin with the main purpose of replacing the volume that has been lost with age. Thanks to a relatively low cost and an easy recovery, they have become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available today. Fillers are injected using very small needles, and most people do not have a noticeable mark after getting them. There may be some redness, minor swelling, or a small bruise in the area, but these will usually go away in a couple of days, and the patient may even see results straight away. Fillers can last for months or even years. There are different types of dermal fillers, and a dermatologist will work with patients to help them find the best option for their needs.

How Fillers Work Under the Eyes

Volume might be lost underneath the skin below the eyes due to the natural aging process. However, this can cause a look of feeling tired and worn out even when somebody is alert and well-rested. It can also cause wrinkles around the eyes to look more obvious or cause the skin in the area to look discolored. Dermal fillers can be an ideal option for restoring the area under the eyes and providing the patient with a more youthful look. They can be injected into the area underneath the eyes to give them a plumper, less shadowed look. Along with this, dermal fillers can also be added to the side of the eyes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and crow’s feet.

Other Uses for Dermal Fillers

Along with using fillers to reduce the look of hollow circles, bags, or shadows underneath the eyes, they have a wide range of uses to restore the youthful look of the face. Fillers can be added to the temples to provide more fullness of the upper face in general, or to erase fine lines and wrinkles in the face. They can be added to improve the volume in the forehead to lift the brows, or to add more fullness to the cheeks, plump the lips, or fill in lines and wrinkles around the chin and mouth.

With cosmetic surgery on the rise, dermal fillers are one of the most popular options. They can be more effective and longer lasting than cosmetic products for reducing bags or hollow circles under the eyes, and are becoming increasingly popular as a treatment for adding plumpness to various areas of the face while hiding wrinkles and fine lines.
