Under-Eye Fillers

Brighten hollow tear troughs and reduce dark circles

The under-eye tear trough — the groove between the lower lid and cheek — deepens with age and creates a hollow, shadowed appearance that makes people look tired and older. A small amount of precisely placed hyaluronic acid filler softens this depression, brightening the eye area without surgery.

This is one of the more technically demanding filler areas — placement must be at the correct depth and in the correct plane to avoid swelling and the Tyndall effect (a bluish discolouration). We use only reversible hyaluronic acid fillers and blunt cannula technique for safety.

Key Benefits

Will filler make my under-eye area puffy?
