How long do under-eye filler results last?

The results of eye shadow treatment last on average between 9 and 12 months, but the exact duration can vary depending on a number of factors that affect the breakdown and absorption process of the filler. In addition, there are options for preserving and adjusting the result over time.

Factors that affect the duration of the effect

1. Type of filler and its characteristics:
• Fillers with a high level of cross-linking (such as Juvederm Volbella or Belotero Balance) are designed to be more stable and last longer.
• Fillers with an especially fine texture are suitable for thin areas like the eye shadow and are designed to minimize side effects such as the Tyndall Effect, but may sometimes break down slightly faster compared to thicker fillers.
2. Intensity of movement in the area:
• The lower eye area is subject to many movements – such as facial expressions, smiling and speaking – which can cause the filler to break down and be absorbed more quickly.
•The more the area moves, the faster the body may break down the material.
3. Individual metabolic rate:
•Each patient has a different metabolic rate, which affects how the body breaks down the filler.
•People with fast metabolisms may see the results of the treatment dissolve faster than people with slower metabolisms.
4. Injection technique:
•Performing the injection at the correct depth and evenly helps maintain the result over time.
•Advanced techniques, such as the Microdroplet method or the use of a cannula, help reduce the risk of asymmetry and side effects, thus maintaining the result more stably.

Maintaining the result and maintenance treatments

1. Periodic maintenance treatments:
•It is recommended to perform maintenance treatments every 9-12 months to maintain the result.
•These treatments allow for a subtle adjustment of the filler volume and help update the result according to changes in facial structure over time.
2. Skin Booster and Mesotherapy Treatments:
•These treatments can improve the quality of the skin around the treated area and increase collagen production, which contributes to extending the duration of the filler’s effect.
•A combination of these treatments helps reduce the risk of rapid volume loss and helps maintain natural results.
3. Lifestyle adjustments:
•Avoiding prolonged sun exposure, maintaining a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and reducing smoking – all of these have a positive effect on the quality of the skin and the rate of filler breakdown.
•The esthetician’s recommendations can also include complementary cosmetic treatment or tips for daily skin care, which help maintain the results.
4. Medical follow-up:
•Regular check-ups with the specialist allow you to assess the condition of the filler and decide whether additional injections or corrective treatment are needed.
•Close follow-up helps with early identification of side effects or changes in the result, thus allowing for a quick response to necessary adjustments.

Summary

The results of eye socket injection treatment usually last between 9 and 12 months, but the result can be preserved and extended through maintenance treatments, lifestyle adjustments and medical monitoring. The choice of the appropriate filler, professional injection technique and personalization of the treatment – ​​all of these significantly affect the duration of the effect and the quality of the result.
In this way, a fresh, natural and bright appearance can be maintained over time, and the result can be best maintained.
