Who it’s for

  • Establish whether fine lines and texture are the main concern. Dark circles may combine hollows, pigment and visible vessels, so improving texture alone cannot address every cause.
  • Under-eye darkness may involve hollows, protruding fat, pigmentation or skin quality. Product instructions, eyelid function and previous treatments guide suitability. Inclusion in this menu does not mean every product is injected directly under the eyes.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.

How it works

Under-eye darkness may involve hollows, protruding fat, pigmentation or skin quality. Product instructions, eyelid function and previous treatments guide suitability.

THE MECHANISM, STEP BY STEP

  • 01The product and material

    GOURI is an injectable based on liquid polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polymer used in collagen-stimulating treatment.

  • 02Your starting point

    Establish whether fine lines and texture are the main concern. Dark circles may combine hollows, pigment and visible vessels, so improving texture alone cannot address every cause.

  • 03What sets it apart

    PCL differs from PLLA in Sculptra and PDO in ULTRACOL. It cannot be dissolved like HA; a liquid formulation does not eliminate injection risks.

  • 04Assessing the change

    Collagen-stimulating treatments are assessed over weeks to months. Fullness on the treatment day does not establish the final effect. Session count and spacing depend on examination, the specific product instructions and your response. Allow recovery time before an important event or journey.

What the procedure is like

  1. 1Bring details of puffiness, dry eyes, previous filler or surgery and medicines. Share event and travel dates so recovery time and follow-up can be planned together.
  2. 2PCL differs from PLLA in Sculptra and PDO in ULTRACOL. It cannot be dissolved like HA; a liquid formulation does not eliminate injection risks.
  3. 3After appropriate comfort measures and cleansing, the doctor treats the agreed areas.
  4. 4Receive aftercare and contact instructions, and arrange an appropriate review.

Appointment length depends on consultation, numbing and treatment extent. Tell us your available time and important plans when booking.

Recovery & aftercare

  • Injection marks, redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary bumps can occur; recovery varies.
  • Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your instructions for washing and makeup.
  • Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.
  • Temporary injection bumps differ from persistent or delayed nodules. Seek review for a firm lump that persists, grows, hurts or becomes red. Non-HA materials such as PDLLA cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase like HA filler.

What to expect over time

A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.

  1. Immediately

    Initial swelling and fullness are not the final result.

  2. Early recovery

    Temporary injection bumps differ from persistent or delayed nodules. Seek review for a firm lump that persists, grows, hurts or becomes red. Non-HA materials such as PDLLA cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase like HA filler.

  3. Review

    Collagen-stimulating treatments are assessed over weeks to months. Fullness on the treatment day does not establish the final effect.

  4. Next steps

    Plan any further session only after assessing the response and recovery.

Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.

Safety & considerations

Possible reactions

  • Infection, persistent nodules, unevenness, inflammation or allergic reactions can occur.
  • Injections carry rare but serious risks including vascular injury or blockage and tissue damage.
  • Temporary injection bumps differ from persistent or delayed nodules. Seek review for a firm lump that persists, grows, hurts or becomes red. Non-HA materials such as PDLLA cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase like HA filler.

When to take extra care

  • Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, immune conditions, medicines, previous fillers and threads.
  • Active inflammation or infection at the site needs assessment before treatment is scheduled.
  • Bring details of puffiness, dry eyes, previous filler or surgery and medicines. Share event and travel dates so recovery time and follow-up can be planned together.

Worsening pain, pale or mottled skin, visual symptoms or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention. Outcomes and duration vary; a specific result is not guaranteed.
