Putting on makeup every day to cover your under-eye circles is such a chore, and nothing ever really covers them up anyway. Luckily, there’s a solution: dermal filler! If you’re ready to toss your concealer and get rid of under-eye circles, you’re probably thinking, “How long does filler last under the eyes, anyway?”

But First, a Little Info About Those Pesky Under-Eye Circles! 

In most circumstances, under-eye circles are caused by the hollows under the skin that is beneath your eyes. As we get older, the tissue that fills them depletes, causing these hollows to become deeper and darker. That’s when dark circles show up that cause you to look older and more tired. 

How Can Fillers Help Rejuvenate and Lighten My Appearance? 

The secret to under-eye filler is hyaluronic acid (HA). When HA is injected into the hollows beneath your eyes, it replaces lost volume and stimulates collagen production. The result is brighter, more beautiful skin under your eyes. 

Under-eye fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane contain hyaluronic acid. When it is injected into the hollows beneath your eyes, it not only replaces lost volume, but stimulates collagen production to restore a healthier appearance under the eyes. 

Give Me the Scoop – How Long Does Filler Last Under the Eyes Really? 

You can expect your results to last up to a year before you need to return for another treatment. There are certain things that can influence the longevity of your results like lifestyle, age, and your skin type. The best way to help extend the results from your under-eye filler is to stay hydrated, exercise, and eat a healthy diet.

Recent reports of people who have cosmetic fillers developing facial swelling after receiving a COVID vaccine may have you concerned.

Fear not! Experts say these reactions are rare, highly treatable, and not a reason to avoid the vaccine.

The Data

The Food and Drug Administration recently released a report showing two participants in a clinical trial who had cosmetic fillers reported facial swelling within two days.

This swelling occurred in the areas where filler had been received. Luckily, all reactions were treated with steroids and antihistamines.

Causes

Why does the COVID vaccine cause this reaction in some people? Because the vaccine gives your immune system a boost! This boost enables your body to protect you from the virus.

That immune boost can, however, cause your body to be on alert for any foreign materials, which can (rarely) include cosmetic fillers.

Fillers and the COVID Vaccine: Can You Have Both?

The good news is, YES! You can! If you normally get filler and know you will be getting a COVID-19 vaccine soon, the best advice is to wait 2-4 weeks after receiving the vaccine to get filler.

And be sure to tell the healthcare professional administering the vaccine that you have fillers.

Are There Fillers That Won’t Cause a Reaction?

There are a lot of dermal filler options out there. There is not yet any research that shows if one cosmetic filler or another will cause a reaction.

The best advice is to carry on with what you have been doing, but wait a little longer if you know you will be receiving a vaccine soon.

Conclusion: Get Your Cosmetic Fillers!

Allergic reaction induced swelling due to the COVID vaccine and cosmetic fillers is rare and extremely treatable, and absolutely no reason to avoid getting the vaccine.

Be sure to tell your healthcare provider that you have fillers, wait 1-2 weeks after getting the vaccine to get filler, and then show your well-rested face to the world!

Have you ever wished you could try on a chin implant just to see what it would look like before you buy? Well, if you’ve ever thought about what a chin implant might do for you, or if you’ve had other facial work done and want to really round out the look with a more fitting chin, now you can!

How Does Juvederm for Chin Augmentation Work?

Voluma XC is an injectable, hyaluronic acid filler derived from sugars that are naturally occurring in the body. During your experience with our trusted medical aesthetic providers, the filler will be injected just under the skin in the designated area.

Due to the use of non-surgical methods and incorporation of a gentle anesthetic called lidocaine, the procedure causes little to no discomfort with significantly less redness or bruising than in surgical methods.

What’s the best part about using Juvederm for chin augmentation? It’s like trying on a permanent implant and then realizing you don’t have to go under the knife for the results you want! For smaller fill areas, instead of jumping headfirst into a permanent implant, you can see what the results will look like before opting for surgical methods! Results are quick, and there is no downtime after your injections.
