How is filler injected?
Filler with hyaluronic acid is injected deep into the skin using a special syringe with a thin needle. This helps to avoid the formation of edema and hematomas after injections. The entire procedure can take a total of 10-40 minutes.
The cosmetologist must first test for an allergic reaction to the components of Juvederm Volbella. If there is an allergic reaction or possible contraindications, administering the gel is strictly prohibited. It is always recommended to adhere to the correct technique and location of filler injection into the lips or skin area near the eye.
First you need to cleanse your face of cosmetics. The specialist treats the skin at the site of needle insertion with a disinfectant and injects the drug into the lips or skin around the eyes. At this time, a slight tingling or mild pain may be felt at the site of filler penetration. Then, for better distribution of the product, a light mass is performed, which will help distribute the gel evenly and prevent swelling.
At the end of the session, the skin is also re-treated, and the next procedure can be done no earlier than in a few months. Such precautions are necessary to ensure that the filler has time to distribute under the skin and redness and other side effects disappear.
In the first days after the injection, it is prohibited to visit the sauna, bathhouse, swimming pool, solarium or be in direct sunlight. Before going outside, be sure to apply cream to your skin that protects against ultraviolet rays. You cannot massage your face, use a scrub or exfoliate.
The course of injections is prescribed for each client individually and depends on the condition of the skin, the desired effect and other indicators. A cosmetology salon must have a license to operate, and cosmetologists must gain sufficient experience in this field.
The best fillers under the eyes
There are many preparations for contour plastic surgery. But not all of them are suitable for correction of the paraorbital zone.
Juvederm
There is a whole range of fillers from the Juvederm line. They are distinguished by different densities. For the area under the eyes, Juvederm Volbella is more suitable. It is designed to smooth out shallow wrinkles. Thanks to its liquid consistency, the product does not weigh down the skin, but fills the space and moisturizes.
If there is severe sagging of the lower eyelids, you can use Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus. They are denser, so they eliminate deep wrinkles. Juvederm Voluma will get rid of bags under the eyes. Rehabilitation after the drugs lasts a week.
"Princesses"
Princess fillers can be used even by young patients. In this case, “Princess Rich” is suitable, since the drug is designed to accelerate cellular metabolism in tissues and moisturize. When rejuvenating aging skin of the lower eyelids, it is better to take the more viscous “Princess Filer”. After both treatments, recovery takes 7 days.
"Restylane"
Among the Restylane fillers, Restylane Touch is suitable for the eyelids, effectively improving the condition of thin, young skin. It will smooth out fine wrinkles and prevent aging. For older patients, Restylane Perlane is used. This is a more viscous gel that tightens the skin and gives volume to the corrected area. With its help, it is possible to smooth out the nasolacrimal groove. Side effects will disappear a week after the procedure.
"Radiesse"
The main substance in the Radiesse preparation is slowly absorbing calcium hydroxyapatite. This dense substance gives volume to tissues. But in the eyelid area, this property can lead to heavier skin, sagging, and the appearance of bumps. Therefore, Radiesse is used carefully and in minimal doses for correction under the eyes. It gets rid of deep nasolacrimal grooves.
"Ivor"
Among the products from the “Ivor” series, “Ivor Classic” is used for the eyelids. The drug has a viscous consistency and a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. This allows it to smooth out wrinkles while giving the missing volume to the area under the eyes. Side effects disappear a week after the procedure.
Complications after Juvederm Volbella
Despite the fact that after injection of filler into the lips or skin under the eyes there are practically no serious side effects, the following complications can be identified:
- Tissue swelling;
- Presence of bruises;
- Impaired skin sensitivity;
- Pigmentation.
These phenomena usually do not cause any harm to health and often disappear on their own or after minor correction. Swelling may be a consequence of tissue reaction to needle punctures of the skin, and hematomas occur due to damage to small vessels. Sensitivity is impaired as a result of temporary pressure of the filler on the nerves.
Much more serious complications after a cosmetic procedure include fibrosis, necrosis, granuloma formation and changes in skin texture. The cause of fibrosis is the body's reaction to a foreign substance (gel). A lump forms under the skin where the needle was inserted, which may enlarge over time and become too noticeable. Also, immediately after the injections, the skin may turn white - this is a reaction to the lidocaine included in Juvederm Volbella.
If the drug is administered too close to the skin surface, filler migration may occur and the skin texture may change. Pathology such as necrosis occurs in very rare cases and is considered the most serious reaction of the body to filler. The cause of necrosis is the entry of the gel into the vessel. If the filler is rejected by the body, granulomas can form, which are dense nodules above the surface of the skin.
All these consequences of using Juvederm Volbella can have varying degrees of severity and occur immediately after the session or several days later. The cosmetologist determines which complications need correction and treatment and which do not.
In order to avoid their occurrence, it is enough to follow simple recommendations and rules:
1) Give injections only in a specialized salon (clinic);
2) Find out whether there are any contraindications to filler injection;
3) Use only a high-quality product with a certificate;
4) Contact a qualified specialist;
5) Do not reuse the syringe.
Contraindications
Juvederm Volbella should not be injected into the skin under the eyes or around the lips if there are the following contraindications:
- Pregnancy;
- Breastfeeding period;
- Allergy to filler components;
- Tendency to form scars;
- Blood clotting disorder.
If injections are performed in the presence of direct contraindications, undesirable consequences may occur.
Which ones to choose for bruises, bags and dark circles, wrinkles
The drug is selected according to the characteristics of the defects in the area under the eyes. If these are dark circles, you need a product with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. That is, they will fit:
- Juvederm Ultra
- Juvederm Ultra Plus
- Juvederm Voluma
- "Princess Filler"
- "Perline"
- "Ivor Classic".
The same drugs will also remove bags under the eyes.
If you are only worried about wrinkles, you should use:
- "Princess Rich"
- Juvederm Volbella
- "Restylane Touch".
Hyaluronic acid for dark circles under the eyes
Hyaluronic acid is often used for dark circles and dark circles under the eyes , as it affects the skin in several ways:
- stimulates collagen synthesis, that is, rejuvenates it,
- fills the space formed with age in the infraorbital region due to the attraction of water molecules with its own volume,
- improves metabolic processes, which means oxygen supply to tissues,
- relieves congestion in the lower eyelid area.
The substance in new filler drugs is synthetic. But hyaluronic acid is part of living tissues, so in most cases it is well accepted by the body. And the artificiality of its origin prevents allergies from developing.
After the injection of hyaluronic acid, traces of the injections are visible, but after a few days the skin color becomes lighter. And the darkness on the lower eyelids caused by sagging disappears immediately if a high-density product is used. Otherwise, to achieve the desired effect, you need to wait a few days until the “hyaluronic acid” starts working.

Fillers in the eye sockets for dark circles under the eyes
It is best to choose biodegradable fillers used in the eye sockets for dark circles under the eyes. These are products based not only on hyaluronic acid, but also on collagen and polylactate. But even among drugs that dissolve over time, the choice is quite wide.
Which filler is better - Princess or Juvederm?
For young eyelid skin, it is better to use Princess filler, since Juvederm preparations are denser and “long-lasting”. The action of the first remedy is to normalize cellular metabolism, due to which elasticity and oxygen supply are restored and bruises disappear. At the age of 20-25 this is enough.
The Juvederm line has denser formulations. They are used when blueness under the eyes is caused not only by the translucency of blood vessels, but also by sagging skin. However, which drug will be better in a particular case should be decided together with a cosmetologist. The choice depends on the patient’s age, the initial condition of the eyelids, and the desired effect.
Which is the best anti-wrinkle filler for the eyes - Ivor or Juvederm Volbella?
If you need a filler for eye wrinkles, it is difficult to say which is better to use - Ivor or Juvederm Volbella, the choice depends on the type and extent of the problem. The first line contains products for young patients (“Yvoire Hydro”), in whom it occurs due to dryness. The manufacturer also has a drug for women with age-related deep wrinkles (“Yvoire Classic”). Both of them act quite gently, without disturbing the naturalness of the infraorbital area.
The more expensive Juvederm Volbella is indicated for severe ptosis of the lower eyelid and deep nasolacrimal groove. It is denser, which would seem to provide a long and pronounced effect. But if you introduce it to a patient who does not yet have sufficiently noticeable folds, the lower eyelid will look heavy, and the skin will look unnaturally stretched and swollen.
Filler "Princess Rich" under the eyes
Princess Rich filler should be used under the eyes if you need to remove fine lines and wrinkles, refresh and moisturize the skin. The product will not cope with a pronounced nasolacrimal fold. After all, it does not have the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid - 18 mg/ml. But after 3 sessions with breaks of 3 weeks, dry skin will noticeably smooth out and become lighter.
What injections can be used to remove dryness under the eyes?

- "TEOSYAL First Lines"
- "Juvederm Hydrate"
- "Restylane Touch"
- "Restylane Vital"
- Yvoire Hydro
- "Princess Rich"
- "Viscoderm 0.8".

- "Teosyal Redensity II"
