Who does light filler not work for?
Fillers are generally not preferred for under-eye hollows accompanied by excessive bags. Fillers alone do not work for very dark bruises.

In cases where under-eye hollows are accompanied by sagging cheeks, under-eye fillers are more effective if applied together with cheek fillers.
When does the effect of light filler appear?
The effect of the filler starts to be seen immediately after application, but the best results usually appear in the first month. The procedure should not be rushed, the procedure should be divided into 2-3 applications and done step by step with confidence and seeing the results.
