“You need more sleep”; “Have you thought about lymphatic drainage? »; “You have to use this cream, it’s great for reducing swelling”; “Are you sure you’re okay?” »…
If you know these phrases by heart because they come out as soon as your pockets are a little more visible than usual, you will surely have already understood that cosmetics, sleep or various treatments are a profound problem. have processing difficulties.
And for good reason: most of the time, it is purely and simply of genetic origin!
Faced with the lack of available solutions, it is tempting to resort to aa invasive treatment known to be effective: hyaluronic acid injections. But is it so effective on all types of pockets and above all, is there any risk in this procedure?
Spoiler alert: YES.
The risk: an injection in the wrong place
The human body is complex. So obviously, when it comes to injections, the deed must be done be very precise, especially in this area which appears to be particularly fine and fragile…Ukeleghe Ewoma, aesthetic doctor, explains to Glamor UK the difficulty of this technique:
“The product must be injected deep into the fat pad located under the bag under the eyes. »
The risk ? Inject not deep enough, which can cause swelling and make the product visible. A problem that especially affects light and very light skin and which has a name; “The Tyndall effect “. According to the specialist:
“It gives a blue reflection. The filler, which is a clear gel, is quite adherent to the surface. When light hits it, it reflects and appears slightly bluish, which is exactly the opposite of what you want before your eyes. »
Good to know.
Using the wrong filler
We don’t necessarily know, but not all hyaluronic acids have the same molecular weight. While some are ideal for structuring the jawline or plumping the lips, others are used to fill the nasolabial folds. A multitude of thicknesses available that make it the results are very different depending on the brand that the surgeon will use.
“There are certain types of fillers you don’t want to use under your eyes. For example, you would never use a very thick filler because it will increase volume and make the bags under your eyes more pronounced. »
The results are not always the best
If the contour of your eyes is in the shape of a socket, in this case, filling the bags is ideal for you because it will allow you to fill this gap with a filler product.
On the other hand, if your adipose tissue is too high and your pockets form sort of loose or plump padsin this case, hyaluronic acid will tend to make things worse making the pocket too present. A counterproductive effect that is best avoided!
In any case, do not hesitate to ask a cosmetic surgeon for an opinion and do it select a professional whose work reflects your desires. Chances are he will direct you to the best fit for your pocket type.
