Dermal Filler
Dark eye circles are a common cosmetic concern and can result from a variety of factors.
Volume Loss
As we age, the fat pads under the eyes can diminish, leading to hollows or depressions. This volume loss creates a shadow effect that makes the area appear darker. The skin under the eyes is delicate and thins over time, exacerbating the visibility of underlying blood vessels and shadows.
Blood Vessel Visibility
The thin skin under the eyes can make the small blood vessels and capillaries more visible. When these blood vessels become dilated or congested, they can produce a bluish or purplish hue that contributes to dark circles.
Hyperpigmentation
Increased melanin production or pigmentation issues can cause the skin under the eyes to darken. This can be due to sun exposure, genetics, or certain skin conditions.
Fluid Retention
Fluid retention or puffiness in the under-eye area can cause shadows and accentuate the appearance of dark circles. This can be caused by factors like lack of sleep, allergies, or high sodium intake.
Genetics
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to dark circles. This is often due to skin type, bone structure, or inherited conditions affecting pigmentation and blood flow.
Lifestyle Factors
Lack of sleep and fatigue can exacerbate the appearance of dark circles by causing blood vessels to dilate and the skin to become paler. Stress and allergies can lead to inflammation and fluid buildup, worsening the appearance of dark circles.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to address dark eye circles, which are often caused by volume loss, thinning skin, or the presence of hollows under the eyes. Fillers can provide a non-surgical solution to improve the appearance of the under-eye area by adding volume, reducing shadows, and smoothing out the skin.
With benefits including immediate improvement and minimal downtime, dermal fillers are suitable for individuals seeking to enhance the appearance of their under-eye area. Regular maintenance treatments help to sustain the results and keep the area looking refreshed and youthful.

How does it work?
Restores Volume
Adds volume to the under-eye area to fill in hollows and reduce the appearance of dark circles, which are often caused by fat loss or volume depletion.
Reduces Shadows
By plumping up the under-eye area, dermal fillers can help to diminish the shadows cast by hollows, thereby reducing the appearance of dark circles.
Smooths Skin Texture
Helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles in the under-eye area, which can contribute to a more youthful and refreshed look.
Individuals who have minimal to moderate skin laxity and fine lines, volume loss or hollowness under the eyes that contribute to the appearance of dark circles are suitable for dermal filler injection for eye rejuvenation.
Initial Treatment
Typically, one session is required to achieve the desired results. The exact number of syringes and amount of filler needed will depend on the severity of the dark circles and the volume loss.
Maintenance Treatments
Dermal fillers generally last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 6 to 12 months to sustain the results.
