A thorough skin and medical evaluation is essential to determine if the treatment is right for you. Our practitioners will analyse your skin type, facial structure and medical profile. We’ll also take note of any medications you’re currently taking. Additionally, we will evaluate your psychological readiness, set clear and realistic expectations and address any questions you have to help you make a well-informed decision.
Note that individual outcomes can vary based on factors such as your metabolism, facial structure and lifestyle. We’ll discuss these with you in detail during the consultation.
If any of the following conditions apply to you, our practitioners may suggest alternative options:
During your consultation, we will discuss with you the potential risks and side effects of a non-surgical treatment for bags under your eyes. These include:
While side effects typically subside within a few days, each person’s response to treatment can vary. Some may experience only slight swelling, while others may notice prolonged irritation or discomfort.
It’s crucial to observe any changes in the first few hours and days following your treatment. If you notice persistent inflammation or any severe reaction beyond 48 hours, contact us and your general practitioner immediately.
What you do before and after your facial volume treatment is essential to ensure proper recovery and optimal, long-lasting results. Follow these guidelines to support healing and recovery:

Tear troughs, also known as nasojugal folds, are hollow depressions that run between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek. They can become more noticeable over time due to volume loss, often caused by ageing or weight loss.
As we age, the fatty tissue beneath the lower eyelid and upper cheek naturally diminishes, causing the mid-face to lose its fullness. This reduction in subcutaneous fat, along with the muscles losing their elasticity, results in volume loss and skin thinning, which can make tear troughs and under-eye hollows appear more pronounced.
The treatment adds subtle volume to the area, which helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes. This may create a smoother, more refreshed look. During your consultation, our practitioners will walk you through the process and customise the treatment according to your desired outcomes.
On average, results can last between six to 18 months, but in some cases, they may extend up to two to five years. Several factors impact how long the effects remain visible, including your metabolic rate, skin type, age, smoking habits and overall lifestyle choices.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended to keep the under-eye area looking refreshed. Our practitioners will monitor your skin’s progress and provide guidance on when a touch-up treatment may be needed.
The treatment is generally considered mildly uncomfortable, though pain tolerance varies from person to person. At Injex Clinics, we apply a medical-grade numbing cream to help minimise any potential sensation in the treated area.
