Hyaluronic acid injection for dark circles in Lausanne

Dark circles correspond to the lower eye area. This name refers to the furrow starting from the inner edge of the eye and descending laterally under the lower eyelid, at the orbital rim.

Skin aging and genetics can alter the appearance of this delicate area, indicating the need for hyaluronic acid injections to restore a harmonious appearance of the dark circles.

Who is concerned by dark circle injections?

Hyaluronic acid injections in this area are only for the treatment of dark circles and the improvement of skin quality. These hollow circles appear with aging, following the melting of fat, the recession of the bone and the relaxation of the skin. They can also have a hereditary origin and appear congenitally.

Skin aging will also condition the deterioration of skin quality, which becomes crumpled and shows small wrinkles.

The look appears tired, sad and severe.

Dark circles are a problem for both men and women.

Hyaluronic acid injections cannot treat dark circles, unless the dark circles are the result of a shadow created by the hollowing of the circles under the eyes. In this case, filling them will make them disappear.

How does the procedure work?

At the Global Medical Institute, Drs. Pietramaggiori and Scherer analyze the area in detail during an initial consultation to determine if hyaluronic acid is the appropriate treatment.

It can be used in 2 forms:

• in Skinbooster
• in filler

Skinbooster is a slightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, i.e., very fluid, which is injected in a "coating" with a flexible cannula or in micro-injections with a very fine needle in order to treat sagging, dehydrated, wrinkled skin or dark circles.

3 sessions spaced one month apart are necessary to give a glow and illuminate the eyes.

A denser hyaluronic acid, of the "filler" type, is used as a filler to fill in hollow dark circles.

The injection is performed deep into the skin, as the area is delicate due to the thinness of the skin. This avoids irregularities on the surface.

The syringe used contains a local anesthetic offering greater comfort during the injections.

Eventually, the filling of dark circles can be combined with injections into the sagging cheekbones, which deepen the dark circles. It is thus possible to restore fullness to the entire area, without demarcation between the dark circles and the top of the cheekbones, for a global and more natural result.

What are the after-effects of dark circle injections?

After hyaluronic acid injections, bruising, swelling and redness may appear temporarily.

There is no risk of allergy and side effects are rare and manageable.

No social eviction is to be expected, you can resume your social and professional activities immediately after the injections.

You will simply have to avoid violent efforts, alcohol, aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and exposure to heat sources (sun, UV, sauna, hammam) for a few days.

What results can I expect?

The results of hyaluronic acid injections are almost immediate.

Skinbooster provides deep hydration, smoothes the skin and improves its appearance.

The injection of filler also helps to fill in thedark circles, giving a relaxed, rejuvenated, awakened and brightened appearance.

The results are long-lasting, approximately 6 months for Skinbooster. For hyaluronic acid filler, the results are among the longest lasting in aesthetic medicine, up to 24 months and sometimes even 3 years depending on the individual.
