everything you need to know before getting under eye filler at frida

Are you tired of those persistent under-eye bags or hollows that make you look older and more tired than you feel? Under-eye filler treatments can be a fantastic solution to refresh your appearance and restore a youthful look. At Frida, we understand the importance of informed decisions, which is why we've put together this comprehensive guide to help our clients know everything they need to before getting under-eye filler.

understand the basics

Under-eye filler, also known as tear trough filler, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers into the under-eye area. This treatment helps to diminish the appearance of dark circles, hollows, and under-eye bags, leaving you looking rejuvenated and refreshed.

consultation is key

Before diving into the procedure, it's essential to schedule a consultation with one of our injectors or Dr. at Frida. During this consultation, you'll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals, and any questions you may have. Our experienced practitioners will assess your specific needs, provide recommendations, and explain the procedure in detail, ensuring you have realistic expectations.

the benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most common choice for under-eye treatments due to their safety and effectiveness. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and adds volume. Some of the benefits of HA fillers include:

  1. Natural-looking results:
    HA fillers provide subtle enhancements that look and feel natural.

  2. Minimal downtime:
    Unlike surgery, there is minimal downtime associated with under-eye filler treatments.

  3. Reversible:
    In the unlikely event that you're not satisfied with the results, HA fillers can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.

  4. Long-lasting:
    Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the specific product used.

understanding the procedure

Under-eye filler treatments at Frida typically take 30 minutes and involve the following steps:

  1. Cleansing:
    The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed.

  2. Anesthesia:
    Topical numbing cream or a local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.

  3. Injection:
    The filler is carefully injected into the target areas, with precision and finesse.

  4. Recovery:
    You may experience some swelling and bruising, but this typically subsides within a few days.

aftercare and recovery

Following your under-eye filler treatment, it's crucial to follow our aftercare instructions to maximize your results and minimize potential side effects. Some general tips include:

  1. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.

  2. Use cold compresses to reduce swelling.

  3. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for a few days.

  4. Sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling.

  5. Protect your skin from sun exposure.

results and maintenance

You can expect to see immediate results after your under-eye filler treatment at Frida. However, it's essential to understand that these results may evolve as swelling subsides. To maintain your refreshed appearance, you may need touch-up treatments every 6-12 months, depending on the product used and your body's natural metabolism.
