These are the different types of Under-Rye Filler treatments available, each with its own set of characteristics and considerations. The choice of filler depends on individual preferences, goals, and the practitioners expertise.
There are various types of Under-Eye Filler Treatments available:
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body, and these fillers are derived from a synthetic gel that replicates this natural substance. These fillers are known to promote collagen production in the skin. They are transparent, easy to distribute, and less prone to clumping, making them the most commonly used filler type for under-eye treatments. This under-eye filler provides relatively short-term results but is often preferred by practitioners for its natural look.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: Poly-L-lactic acid is a synthetic material that is biocompatible and can be injected using a process called linear threading. It significantly stimulates collagen production.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: This under-eye filler is biocompatible and made from phosphate and calcium. It boosts collagen production and provides support to connective tissue, adding volume to the area. This material is thicker than hyaluronic acid and are often mixed with an anesthetic before injection. Some practitioners have concerns that this filler might cause the under-eye area to appear excessively white or result in the formation of nodules.
Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting, Microlipoinjection, or Autologous Fat Transfer): In cases where there is a deep tear trough at the junction of the lower lid and cheek, healthcare providers may suggest using a patient's own fat for augmentation. Fat is typically harvested from areas like the abdomen, hips, buttocks, or thighs for this procedure.
