Keep reading to get all your questions answered about under eye fillers in Singapore!
What are Under Eye Fillers or Tear Trough Fillers?
Under eye fillers are also known as tear trough fillers, an injectable treatment used under the eyes. The filler is injected into the skin beneath your lower eyelid and is meant to add volume beneath the eyelids. It can minimize dark eye circles and restore lost volume. The most commonly used product is hyaluronic acid, a gel-like substance that naturally exists in your body. Hyaluronic acid increases fullness and decreases indentations.
The tear trough is the natural depression that lines the curve of your eye socket going from the nose to the underside of the eye. It’s called the tear trough because this is where your tears collect. As you get older, the skin will lose its natural elasticity. Your face will also lose volume from the mid and upper sections as the facial fat starts to shrink and sag. The sagging and shrinking of the skin around the tear trough cause eye bags and eye shadows.

What are the Benefits of Eeva REJUE Polynucleotide Eye Rejuvenation?
REJU PN Collagen Booster eye is clinically proven to be safe with minimal adverse reactions and is specially formulated for the thin delicate skin around the eyes.

Collagen synthesis and remodelling occurs gradually in your skin, strengthening and thickening the skin structure overlying the blood vessels in the under-eye area and minimizing the bloodshot appearance. When Eeva REJUE Polynucleotide Eye Rejuvenation is injected into the tear trough hollows beneath the eyebags, the skin structure thickens gradually. This hollowness eventually lifts as the skin structure strengthens and thickens, and progressive volumization occurs, resulting in a smoother and fuller contour between the under eyes and upper cheeks. This gives you a more young and revitalized look.
