Under-eye fillers have gained popularity as a non-surgical solution to address concerns like dark circles, hollows, and under-eye bags.
Many people considering this treatment wonder if under-eye filler is permanent. In this article, we’ll explore the longevity of under-eye fillers and what you can expect.
Understanding Under Eye Fillers
Under-eye fillers, also known as tear trough fillers, typically contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. Hyaluronic acid helps in retaining moisture, making the skin look plump and youthful. When injected under the eyes, these fillers can smooth out wrinkles, reduce the appearance of bags, and provide a more refreshed look.
Temporary Results
Under-eye fillers are not permanent. The duration of their effects varies from person to person, but on average, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Several factors influence how long the fillers last, including your metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific product used.
Natural Dissipation
Over time, the hyaluronic acid in under-eye fillers gradually breaks down and gets absorbed by the body. This natural dissipation process is what causes the temporary nature of the treatment. As the filler dissipates, you may notice a gradual return of your under-eye concerns, such as dark circles or hollows.
Maintenance and Touch-Ups
To maintain your desired results, you may need periodic touch-up treatments. Your provider can assess your under-eye area and recommend when it’s time for a follow-up appointment. These touch-ups can help you sustain the effects of the fillers and keep your under-eye area looking refreshed.
Under-eye fillers are not permanent, but they offer a long-lasting solution to common under-eye concerns.
