Under Eye Fillers: Restore Youthful Radiance with VIDASKIN

At VIDASKIN, we specialize in advanced aesthetic treatments to help you achieve natural, refreshed beauty. Under-eye fillers are a popular solution for addressing dark circles, tear trough hollows, and tired-looking eyes. However, it’s essential to understand that dark circles are not always caused by volume loss in the under-eye area alone

Using our expertise and the MD Codes™ approach, we treat not just the under-eyes but also surrounding areas, such as the cheeks and temples, to achieve a balanced and youthful appearance.

What Are Under-Eye Fillers?

Under-eye fillers are usually made of hyaluronic acid (HA) and are designed to restore volume and smooth the tear trough area. These fillers help minimize the appearance of dark circles, hollows, and fine lines by plumping the skin and improving hydration. At VIDASKIN, we use premium filler brands like Juvederm or Sunmax, known for their safety, quality, and natural-looking results.

The Root Causes of Dark Circles and Hollow Eyes

Dark circles and under-eye hollows are often thought to result from volume loss directly under the eyes, but in many cases, surrounding areas of the face also play a role. As we age, volume loss occurs across multiple areas, creating structural changes that impact the under-eye region. Common contributors include:

If only the tear trough is treated with fillers, it may not fully address the underlying structural changes caused by volume loss in surrounding areas. That’s where the MD Codes™ approach comes in.+

How We Use MD Codes™ for Holistic Rejuvenation

At VIDASKIN, our doctors follow the MD Codes™ approach, developed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio, to achieve natural, long-lasting results. This technique involves mapping out key anatomical points on the face to provide a holistic approach to rejuvenation. The MD Codes™ approach ensures we address not only the under-eye area but also other contributing areas, such as the cheeks, temples, and midface, for more balanced results.

By using MD Codes™, we:

  • Restore volume in the temples and cheeks, providing better support for the under-eye area.
  • Lift and smooth the tear trough without overfilling, ensuring a natural, rested look.
  • Ensure that all treatment areas work in harmony, giving a balanced, youthful appearance.
  • Minimize the risk of puffiness or unnatural results by using a strategic, structured injection method.

Who Is Suitable for Under-Eye Fillers?

These issues are often due to a combination of genetics, lifestyle factors, and natural aging. Our holistic approach ensures we address the root causes, helping you achieve refreshed and youthful-looking eyes.

Who Is Not Suitable for Under-Eye Fillers?

While under-eye fillers are effective for many, some individuals may not be suitable candidates:

  1. Individuals with Significant Puffiness or Eye Bags
    • If the primary concern is puffiness due to fluid retention or fat pads, fillers may make the issue worse. Surgical solutions like blepharoplasty or laser treatments may be more appropriate.
  2. Those with Severe Pigmentation Issues
    • Dark circles caused by pigmentation require other treatments such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or skin boosters for optimal results.
  3. Patients with Active Skin Conditions or Infections
    • If you have rashes, infections, or other skin issues near the treatment area, we recommend postponing the procedure until the condition resolves.
  4. Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women
    • Although fillers are safe, we advise postponing aesthetic treatments during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution.
  5. Individuals with Unrealistic Expectations
    • Fillers offer subtle and natural enhancements. If you’re expecting dramatic changes, our doctors will guide you toward appropriate alternatives.

At VIDASKIN, we ensure your treatment is comfortable, safe, and customized to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Comprehensive Consultation and Assessment:
    Our doctors use the MD Codes™ method to analyze your face holistically, identifying which areas require treatment.
  2. Preparation:
    A numbing cream may be applied to reduce any discomfort during the procedure.
  3. Precise Injection Using MD Codes™:
    The filler is injected strategically into the tear trough and surrounding areas (such as the cheeks or temples) to provide balanced and natural-looking results.
  4. Post-Treatment Care:
    You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth recovery and optimal results.

The entire process takes 30 to 45 minutes, with minimal downtime.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Under-eye filler results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the filler used, your lifestyle, and metabolism. With the MD Codes™ approach, results tend to last longer, as we address the underlying causes of volume loss holistically, ensuring more stable outcomes.

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects?

Under-eye fillers are generally safe when administered by experienced doctors. However, as with any injectable treatment, some side effects may occur, including:

  • Temporary swelling or bruising
  • Mild redness at the injection site
  • Slight discomfort

These effects usually resolve within a few days. Our use of MD Codes™ helps minimize risks by ensuring precise and controlled filler placement.
