Use of hyaluronic acid fillers for the treatment of dark circles
Those bluish, grayish, or purplish discolorations that appear under the lower eyelids, which we know as dark circles , are disappointing when we look in the mirror. There’s a long list of factors that cause dark circles, such as lack of sleep, stress, poor diet, sunlight, or computer screens, but whatever the cause, the person looks tired, aged, or unwell. Various techniques exist for eliminating bags and dark circles to give the patient a rejuvenated appearance, such as the application of hyaluronic acid-based fillers . Is it a good treatment? Absolutely. Fillers are not only a great option for correcting dark circles effectively and quickly, but also for eliminating skin folds, such as crow’s feet and wrinkles above the upper lip. Although it might sound intimidating because it’s an “acid,” hyaluronic acid is a natural product derived from plants and active natural extracts, also known as “nature’s humectant.” In other words, it’s a sugar molecule with the appearance of a thick gel that, in this specific case, fills and lubricates the under-eye area.
What does the treatment consist of?
- It consists of injecting the product under the skin to reduce marks and tighten sagging areas.
- It is a safe procedure, it does not cause risks of infection and allergic reactions are very rare.
- The benefits are immediately noticeable: wrinkles are reduced, the appearance of tiredness or illness diminishes, the skin appears hydrated, and the person looks rejuvenated.
It’s similar to collagen injections, but with virtually no side effects and results that typically last for extended periods (9 to 12 months), depending on factors such as age, skin quality, and the patient’s lifestyle. Although the method is safe, it’s always recommended that the treatment be performed by a qualified professional. And at CSI Clínica Salud Integral , we specialize in Aesthetic Medicine. Contact us!
