Whether for chronic or gradual reasons, treatments in the eye area require special care, such as filling dark circles.
Currently, within our skin care routines, we can sometimes forget about the eye area. As it is a delicate region, with very thin hair, there is a greater propensity for the appearance of wrinkles, bags and dark circles. However, over the years, new technologies were developed to facilitate this care, and one of them was filling dark circles.
How do dark circles appear?
As we age, our body reduces collagen production, which makes it easier for dark circles to appear. However, this can happen due to genetic characteristics, some people are more prone and therefore seek to fill dark circles.
Simultaneously with genetics, some everyday behaviors can help to further develop dark circles, such as: few hours of sleep, high level of stress, smoking and unregulated diet.
Some types of treatment for dark circles
Initially, the use of moisturizing creams that stimulate collagen production is indicated as a palliative action. While they also have a whitening effect, they can offer satisfactory results for those who do not intend to fill dark circles.
Getting to know hyaluronic acid
Firstly, before carrying out any aesthetic procedure, it is necessary to know the product very well. In cases of filling dark circles, the product used is called hyaluronic acid. Just like collagen, hyaluronic acid is produced by the body. Eventually, it occupies the spaces between cells and is responsible for providing them with hydration and elasticity.
As it is a substance that is already found in our body, the levels of rejection or poor adaptation to filling dark circles with this substance, consequently, are minimal.
Filling dark circles with hyaluronic acid
In the same way as some other procedures, professionals such as dentists, beauticians and biomedical professionals can perform this procedure. In other words, because it is a minimally invasive procedure, it is more common for you to find several professionals who can fill dark circles.
However, it is necessary to research well and understand the procedure as well. The amount of acid to be applied varies according to the depth of the dark circles and the professional’s assessment. First, local anesthesia is used, applied or in the form of a cream, and then the person responsible for filling induces the solution with an injection in the indicated location.
The entire procedure lasts an average of 10 minutes. Eventually, in some cases, the region may become sensitive, swollen and have some redness. Therefore, after applying the dark circles filler, it is recommended to use ice on the area to relieve swelling.
Other contraindications
Immediately after applying the acid to fill the dark circles, it is recommended to use ice, along with reducing sun exposure for at least 48 hours. Eventually, medium to high intensity physical exercises must be suspended for at least 24 hours.
Is filling dark circles expensive?
Aesthetic procedures, especially those that have some type of product that will be applied, are consequently a little more expensive. Hyaluronic acid is sold per ml, that is, the final price will be based on the quantity that the professional will indicate for your case. However, there is an average price that can vary between 800.00 and 1,500.00 reais.
How long does it last ?
As previously stated, hyaluronic acid is a substance produced by our body, therefore, when applied, the body absorbs the product. However, the absorption time varies from organism to organism, but on average, it lasts from 6 to 18 months.
