Injections of hyaluronic acid are extremely effective in correcting issues related to under-eye circles.

WHAT ARE UNDER-EYE CIRCLES?
Under-eye circles refer to the area around the lower eyelids.

The skin in this area is the thinnest on the face and, therefore, very delicate.

There are different types of under-eye circles:

Blue or purple circles: They are not a sign of skin aging and are the most common. Their origin is often hereditary and may appear early in some individuals.

Brown or dark circles: The causes of these colored circles differ from the blue ones, as they are due to an excess of melanin. They can be accentuated by sun exposure and are usually present in individuals with darker skin tones, with hereditary factors also playing a role.

Hollow circles: These circles are caused by the effects of skin aging. With age, the skin becomes thinner, and the subcutaneous fat decreases, leading to hollow areas.

Puffy circles: A pocket of fat, called the periorbital fat, cushions the eye to protect it. With age, this mass can either diminish or droop due to skin laxity or sagging.

WHEN TO GET HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS TO FILL UNDER-EYE CIRCLES?
Since hyaluronic acid is primarily a filling product, it can only be injected for hollow circles. The injections help rejuvenate the appearance by filling the hollow area. For a comprehensive anti-aging effect, hyaluronic acid injections can also be extended to the tear troughs and cheeks. The aesthetic physician can use MD Codes to create a personalized treatment plan.

HOW IS THE HYALURONIC ACID INJECTION PROCEDURE FOR UNDER-EYE CIRCLES PERFORMED BY DR. THANACODY?
First and foremost, it is crucial to have an initial consultation with Dr. Thanacody to analyze your skin and needs. The session involves the injection of a small amount of low-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. The procedure typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes.

IS HYALURONIC ACID FILLER FOR UNDER-EYE CIRCLES PAINFUL?
The hyaluronic acid injection is a minimally painful and non-invasive procedure. Additionally, the product contains an anesthetic (lidocaine) to enhance comfort.

WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS TO FILL UNDER-EYE CIRCLES?
Hyaluronic acid provides a natural and harmonious result that complements your face. The hollows of your under-eye circles are filled, and the skin is plumped and hydrated. This rejuvenates your appearance and reduces signs of tiredness around the eyes. The effects typically last between 2 to 3 years, and maintenance sessions may be required.

WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE BEFORE HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS FOR UNDER-EYE CIRCLES?
As with any hyaluronic acid injection, it is essential to inform your aesthetic physician of any potential allergies, ongoing treatments, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Some precautions should be taken, such as discontinuing the use of anti-inflammatory medications.

WHAT SIDE EFFECTS CAN BE EXPECTED?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our bodies, making it well-tolerated and causing rare side effects. However, small bruises may appear, but they are harmless, and you can resume your daily activities immediately.

In the days following the procedure, it is advised to:

Avoid taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications.
Avoid engaging in sports activities.
Avoid sun exposure.
