What Is Under-Eye Filler?
Over time, the fat tissue under the eyes can thin, causing hollowness and darkening. Other common causes of dark circles include poor sleep, smoking, alcohol consumption, and substance use. This appearance can make a person look tired or older. Under-eye brightening filler, combined with a healthy lifestyle, can significantly improve results.
Under-eye filler is also known as periocular filler and tear trough filler. Special fillers for this area contain not only hyaluronic acid, but also amino acids and antioxidants, providing hydration, luminosity, and volume to the skin.
How Is the Procedure Performed and How Long Does It Last?
The filler can be applied in one or two sessions.
Immediate volume enhancement is visible, with brightening and reduction of tired appearance noticeable after about 1 week.
The effect reaches its maximum at 2 months and typically lasts around 1 year.
Local anesthesia is applied before the procedure.
The injection takes 5–10 minutes.
Rare bruising may occur and usually resolves within 3–4 days.
While under-eye brightening filler improves hollowness and discoloration, if a patient has widespread pigmentation, additional treatments such as mesotherapy or laser can be combined for enhanced results.
