Under-eye bags and circles

The Body Clinic’ physicians will advise you during a free, no obligation first consultation on the suitability of a filler treatment for under your eyes. If dark under-eye circles are a first impression, we’ll refer you to our skin therapist. If after careful consideration the physician thinks you qualify for filler treatment, you can be sure of a fine improvement.

The preference rests with the physician. Doctor Biermans prefers needles. Doctor Dikrama prefer working with cannulas. Cannulas bruise less often. Needles diminish the risk of swelling.

In rare cases some product may temporarily lodge under the eyes following treatment with a filler. That is why the physicians at The Body Clinic prefer to use only hyaluronic acid fillers for under the eyes. The advantage of this filler is that it can always be dissolved. If there happens to be excess filler under the eyes, this lump or bump can be dissolved at the follow-up consultation. If the lump or bump cannot be seen, it can stay where it is and dissolve naturally.

The Body Clinic physicians only use temporary fillers based on hyaluronic acid for under-eye filler treatment. The hyaluronic acid products that The Body Clinic uses have been on the market for a long time and have proven their safety in the long term. All hyaluronic acids used by us can be actively dissolved by Hyazon. This is an additional safety measure. In addition, all hyaluronic acids are bioactive substances that improve the quality of the skin and provide natural hydration. This ensures that the under-eye skin area will also improve in the long term.

For a treatment with a cannula, you will receive two small anaesthetic pricks. In case of treatment with a needle a topical anaesthetic cream is applied. The treatments are generally considered not painful.

It is of major importance that you turn to an experienced and qualified physician for treatment. Our physicians at The Body Clinic have almost thirty years of experience with this treatment among them. If fluids have settled under the eyes, the filler was injected too close to the membrane. The Body Clinic’s physicians will make sure the depth of the injection is sufficient. This complication is therefore very rare.

As an indication: under-eye puffiness treatment costs 750 euros for 1 ml.

We do not treat people under the age of 18. Once you’re over 18, our physicians don’t consider age but only whether fillers are the correct solution for you. The correct solution for you may depend on how deep the bags under your eyes are. After weighing the pros and cons, our physician will come to a well-grounded decision in agreement with you what treatment, if any, is right for you.

What our physicians try to achieve during the free initial consultation is to get a fair idea of your expectations. We think it is very important that you are happy and satisfied with the result. Our clinic has been rewarded a 94% score based on reviews by over one thousand satisfied customers. Our clinic rarely refunds customers. If you’re clearly dissatisfied with the results, we’ll give you free additional treatment, within reason. Sometimes a little extra filler gets you that much-coveted result. Then again, sometimes we just need to dissolve a little to soften the effect of a filler. Our aim is always to give you results that match your face naturally.

Most people go to work the next morning. Fillers tend to give a little more swelling and bruising than Botulinum toxin (Botox). If you bruise easily, you may expect the same from a filler treatment. The same goes for swelling. If you’re quick to react physically, chances are you’ll do the same now, and experience some swelling. So it is better to not plan a large number or serious social engagements immediately following your treatment, but to give yourself a rest for the first 3 to 4 days instead.
