Dark circles under the eyes give an aged and tired look and can damage self-esteem. To understand how we can treat this aspect it is necessary to distinguish between the two types of dark circles:

Dark circles – they arise due to an increase in the amount of blood vessels in the lower eyelids that become visible due to the skin being very thin and can be disguised with correct techniques of makeup.

Deep dark circles – this is when there is unevenness of the lower eyelids which can also be associated with dark circles. However, these dark circles, even with make-up, are not camouflaged because there is always a shadow under the eyes that gives the look of tiredness.

In the second type, the Filling of Dark Circles is one of the most effective treatments because, in addition to providing more volume and reducing the apparent dark contour, the hyaluronic acid leaves the region more hydrated. Furthermore, today it is possible to make a combination of hyaluronic acid with amino acids, vitamins and succinic acid which, together, also improve the quality of the skin making it thicker and clearer.

Dark circles filling is a very simple and fast treatment. Even so, it needs to be performed by a trusted plastic surgeon, as the eye area is very sensitive and incorrect technique can cause problems with eye function.

The procedure begins with the application of local topical anesthesia to avoid discomfort during filling. After anesthesia, the doctor uses a cannula to inject the product into the periocular skin by micropuncture. After application, a massage is performed with equipment that emits vibrations in order to help spread the product more evenly.

The Filling of Dark Circles is a non-surgical procedure, performed in a doctor’s office and is painless as it uses local topical anesthesia. The treatment takes about twenty minutes to perform and the effect is visible immediately, although the final result is only seen after a month. In some cases, a new application may be necessary, depending on the absorption level of each organism.

There may be some local bruising that is disguised with make-up. It is advisable to apply ice for twenty minutes immediately after the treatment, and repeat the application throughout the first day.

The area may show swelling that disappears after twenty-four hours, and it is recommended that, on the first night, you sleep with your head elevated. Normal activities can be resumed immediately. Physical exercise should be avoided on the day of the procedure.
