Before and after your appointment

Dr Azoo goes through this with you at your consultation. These points are a reminder, and he will adjust them to you.

Before your appointment

Tell Dr Azoo about your medicines, allergies, and whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwell.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand.
Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen unless a doctor has prescribed it for you. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Come without make-up on the area if you can, or be ready for it to be cleaned.
Plan around events. Mild swelling can last one to three days.

Aftercare

Small bumps or puffiness for a day, occasionally up to three, is normal.
Leave make-up off the area for 24 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and swimming for 24 hours.

Do not rub the under-eye area.
Contact the clinic promptly if pain is increasing, the skin changes colour, or anything worries you.

Common questions

Which treatment do I need?

Hollowing usually needs a soft filler; dark circles and crepey skin respond better to NCTF or polynucleotides. Dr Azoo decides at consultation.

Is there downtime?

Usually minimal. You may have small bumps or swelling for a day, occasionally up to three.

How many sessions?

Filler is usually one session. NCTF is a course of three, then maintenance every six months.

About under-eye treatment at Dr Azoo

The under-eye is the most delicate area of the face, and the right treatment depends on what is causing the tired look: volume loss, thin skin, pigmentation or a combination.

Dr Azoo uses soft tear trough fillers for hollowing and Fillmed NCTF 135HA, a revitalising solution of hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids, for dark circles and fine lines.
