What is Under-Eye Light Filling?

In order to eliminate dark circles, bruises and volume losses in the under-eye area ; The medical aesthetic treatment performed by injecting the filling materials specially formulated for use in the under-eye area with blunt-tipped cannulas using special injection techniques, is called “under-eye light filling”.

• Under-eye bruises can be lightened,
• A luminous effect can be achieved in the under-eye area,

There is hyaluronic acid in the filling material injected into the area during under-eye light filling . Thanks to hyaluronic acid, it is possible to strengthen the skin barrier while meeting the moisture need of the area . 

Before the application, the cream with local anesthetic effect is applied around the eyes. After the cream with local anesthetic effect shows its effect, injection is performed with blunt-tipped cannulas . The application is completed in approximately 15-20 minutes.
