Eye Wrinkle Filler
Eye Wrinkle Filler
Volumising Filler
While fine lines around the eyes can add character, deeper wrinkles might make you want to consider treatment options. The most common go-to for reducing eye wrinkles is wrinkle reducing treatments (we can’t legally name these products in Australia). These work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles to form. However, for more severe lines, volumising fillers can be a helpful addition to fill out the deeper creases.
What are Volumising Fillers for Eye Wrinkles?
As we age, our skin loses volume and elasticity, contributing to sagging, wrinkles, and under-eye bags. Volumising fillers are gel-like substances placed under the skin and orbicularis oculi muscles to restore lost volume. They can be used with muscle relaxants to smooth out deeper wrinkles around the eyes, creating a more youthful look.
Benefits of Volumising Fillers for Eye Wrinkles:
Reduced Wrinkle Visibility: Fillers help plump the skin, minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improved Under-Eye Appearance: Fillers can help reduce the look of dark circles, prominent tear troughs and under-eye bags.
Enhanced Facial Contour: By restoring lost volume, fillers can subtly improve the overall contour of the eye area.
How Do Volumising Fillers Work?
Skilled practitioners place fillers strategically beneath the skin and underneath the muscles where wrinkles or volume loss is present. The fillers provide support and structure, smoothing out the skin's surface.
Treatable Eye Areas:
Under-eye wrinkles.
Tear troughs.
Inferolateral eye socket.
A-frame deformity.
Upper eyelid socket hollowing.
Eyebrow volume loss and droop.
Crow's feet.
Deep lines around the eyes.
Forehead lines (sometimes in conjunction with muscle relaxants).
What to Expect
Minimal Discomfort: The procedure usually involves some minor discomfort. Pain relief options are available.
Treatment Time: Sessions typically 30 mins.
Downtime: Usually zero. Expect some redness and possible minor bruising that will normally subside in a day or 2.
Results: Immediate improvement with full effects visible within a week.
Longevity: Results can last a long time - up to a year or longer for Volumising filler. Muscle-relaxers would need to be topped upped sooner every 8 to 16 weeks on average.
Costs
Cost varies based on the number of cosmetic injectable units used and the patient's desired outcomes. As a guide, eye wrinkle reduction with both Volumising filler and muscle relaxants would usually fall in the range of $275 to $2000 depending the individual needs of the patient.
