What is under eye filler? A tear trough is a deep crease between the lower eyelid and upper cheek, and as we age we can experience volume loss in this area which can leave dark circles, shadows and hollows around the delicate under-eye area. This can often make us look tired, older, haggard and run down, even when we are perfectly rested and well hydrated. This can be easily treated with under eye filler.

Under eye filler bruising
One of the most common side effects of dermal fillers is bruising. Even if you have never bruised before, it is always a possibility. Why? Because bruises are just a small hematoma; they occur when small blood vessels get punctured and leak into the soft tissue beneath. The good news is there are some tips and tricks up our sleeve that you can use to help reduce the bruising pre- and post-treatment.
At Niayesh Beauty Clinic we use FDA- approved dermal filler and Cannulas are used to place filler under the very thin muscle layer, which results in a more natural appearance with minimal-to-no bruising.
Pre-Appointment Tips
- There are medications that you may want to consider stopping 1 week prior to your appointment (and with your doctor’s consent.) These medications thin your blood, making it more difficult for it to clot, increasing the likelihood you will bruise following your procedure. This list includes:
- Aspirin
- Excedrin
- Ibuprofen (Motrin, Aleve, Advil)
- St. John’s Wart
- Fish Oil
- Vitamin E
- Ginko Biloba
- Ginseng
- Fenugreek
- Garlic
- No alcohol or green teas 1-2 days before injections
- Eat fresh pineapple, it contains bromelain which has been know to decrease bruising
- Take Arnica tablets for a couple of days leading up to your appointment. Arnica is a homeopathic remedy to help prevent bruising/swelling.

Tear trough filler aftercare
Congrats on your new fillers! Here are a few tips to avoid bruising after your procedure:
- Avoid alcohol for 1-2 days after injections
- Avoid vigorous exercise for 1-2 days
- Wait 24 hours before applying makeup
- Apply Arnica gel, it will help you heal faster
- Apply ice packs. The ice contracts the blood vessels and lessens the chance that your bruise will spread.
While these tips and tricks can help, we always recommend planning to get your fillers done 1-2 weeks before any big event or photoshoot. It is best to aim for 2 weeks if you are someone who bruises easily.

Recovery time
Dermal fillers work very quickly, and you won’t have to wait twelve months to see the full benefits of your injections. That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it’s normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.
