What is Under Eye Light Filler?
It is a non-invasive (non-surgical) application preferred for the solution of circles around the eyes and bruises under the eyes.

Light Filler
It is applied in cases such as a ring and hollowness under the eye, a gap in the middle face, and the cheek coming forward. The most important thing to pay attention to is the area where the light filler is applied. Contrary to popular belief, this area is not the thin skin just below the eye, but a little lower and cheekbones. When any filler is placed in this area, it triggers bagging.

Anesthetic cream applied to the area where it will be applied ensures that the injection process is painless. It is applied by injecting hyaluronic acid with a cannula and takes an average of 30 minutes. It is an extremely comfortable and simple procedure. After the application, it gives volume and radiance to the injected area. The effect of light filling is immediately noticeable after 3 weeks and lasts for 12 months.

What is Light Filler?
Facial fillers, lip fillers or light fillers are among the most preferred applications in scalpel-free aesthetics. Light filling is one of the most frequently applied techniques to improve the dark or hollow appearance under the eyes. The content of the light filler is hyaluronic acid, like the most preferred filler content. The ‘light filling’ from which it gets its name is related to its brightening effect on the hollow and dark appearance of the under-eye and upper cheek.

Who is it applied to?
Light filling is applied to people with tissue reduction in the middle cheek area under the eyes or sagging cheeks. It can be performed at any age. The important thing is to analyze well whether it will be effective enough to meet the patient’s expectations. Sometimes scalpel may be the only option. In this case, of course, the physician should guide the patient correctly. In young people over 20 years of age, if there is a history of rapid weight loss, it can also be applied at this age to prevent further sagging of the skin under the eyes and cheeks and to prevent hollowing under the eyes.

How Does It Work?
The mechanism of action of light filler is twofold. The first is to complete the deficiency of the skin and the decreasing tissue under it and to fill the gaps, and the second is to trigger the production of new collagen and hyaluronic acid to produce new collagen and hyaluronic acid thanks to the injected hyaluronic acid light filler. Like all filler injections, light filler is an injection that should be performed by an experienced specialist physician, paying attention to the appropriate doses and the correct choice of hyaluronic acid. Thanks to the light filling, the darkness and hollowness under the eyes, which are the cause of the tired expression of the eyes, can be noticeably improved even immediately after the procedure. For this reason, light filling has become a frequently preferred filling application.

Where is it used?
Where the light filler is applied; It is determined according to its purpose. For example, its illuminating effect on the eye contour means a tense and tight eye contour for me, and for this purpose, it is my first choice to inject it along the cheek line, that is, in the direction towards the hair. This area is the area that causes the eye contour to pull to the sides (this is a movement that every woman makes for herself), that is, towards the hairline, and makes the skin look taut and brighter. In addition, if there is hollowness under the eyes or vice versa bagging, hyaluronic acid light filling injected between the cheekbone and hairline can cause the eyes to look more serene and bright by stretching this area towards the hair. Secondly, hyaluronic acid is injected into the upper cheek, under the eye, in the middle line to replace what is missing to improve the lost or missing tissue that causes sagging in the cheek. The aim of both should be to improve the tired and lifeless look.

When does it take effect?
In light filling or hyaluronic acid filling procedures, a noticeable improvement is observed immediately after the procedure. However, since hyaluronic acid is the main substance of the layer of our skin called dermis and is a natural substance produced by skin cells, it gives us better results after days, weeks or even months. The injected hyaluranic acid itself actually triggers the production of hyaluranic acid. For this reason, as a physician, the most preferred application for both myself and my patients is hyaluronic acid filling application.

Things to Consider Before Application
Things to be considered before the application; First of all, correct diagnosis is the first thing a physician should do with his patient in every subject. In this regard, it is most important to analyze the aesthetic problem of the person correctly and to determine his/her needs. It is most important to stop those who have blood thinners a few days before the application (if it is not compulsory to drink) 3 days before, and to pay attention to the absence of any infection (herpes, abscess, etc.) in the application area.

Things to Consider After Application
Sterilization conditions should be observed after the application as before the application. After the procedure, it is sufficient not to touch water for 4 hours, to wash hands frequently and not to touch the procedure area.

What are the Side Effects?
In hyaluronic acid light filling or wrinkle treatment and all other injections, no serious side effects are expected if care is taken before and after the application. It is a procedure that should be performed by a specialist physician and no side effects other than simple bruising at the injection site, redness of the needle and mild allergic reactions are expected. For bruising and edema, arnica or heparinoid-containing creams are used for a few days after the procedure. Antihistamines can be taken to prevent allergic reactions.
