Hello, this is Bongbong Plastic Surgery Clinic, located in the Green Building at 657 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

Filler procedures have now become one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures, regardless of age or gender. In particular, aegyo-sal fillers and under-eye hollow fillers, commonly called dark circle fillers, are popular procedures because they are simple and can still deliver noticeable results. However, these filler procedures do not always lead to positive outcomes in every case. Some people experience stress due to unexpected side effects after the procedure. One of the representative side effects is the Tyndall effect, which appears like a blue bruise.

The Tyndall effect refers to a phenomenon in which the skin surface appears bluish after filler injection. This occurs because the filler is injected incorrectly into a thin area of skin, and as light passes through the filler, certain wavelengths are scattered. It is especially common in areas with thin, sensitive skin, such as under the eyes. This phenomenon is often caused less by the procedure itself and more by an inaccurate injection site or depth.

Aegyo-sal fillers and dark circle fillers are injected in the under-eye area, so they must be performed carefully with a thorough understanding of the anatomy. The skin under the eyes is very thin and sensitive, and because it is an area with dense blood vessels, the Tyndall effect is more likely to occur if the filler is not injected at the proper depth. In particular, this side effect can also appear if the type and viscosity of the filler are not appropriate.

To prevent the Tyndall effect, it is important first to receive treatment from medical staff with sufficient experience and anatomical knowledge. The medical staff should proceed with the procedure only after thoroughly evaluating the condition and thickness of the skin, as well as the suitability of the filler. In addition, the viscosity and type of filler should be carefully selected according to the treatment area, and for thin skin such as under the eyes, a filler with low viscosity and a soft texture is suitable. When injecting the filler, it is important to place it at an appropriate depth in the deeper layers of the skin to minimize light scattering, because excessive injection into superficial layers increases the likelihood of the Tyndall effect.

Aegyo-sal fillers and under-eye dark circle fillers may seem like simple procedures, but they are delicate treatments that require anatomical knowledge and experience. Through sufficient consultation and evaluation, creating a filler and treatment plan suited to the individual’s condition is key to preventing side effects and achieving satisfactory results. Before the procedure, you should receive a thorough explanation from the medical staff about the possibility of side effects and how to prevent them, and choose the procedure that is right for you.
