Your 3‑Step Under‑Eye Plan
A Small Fix. A Big Difference.
What you gain: softer hollows, less shadowing, smoother blend from lower eyelid to cheek, and a face that looks more awake.
What you avoid: makeup settling in creases, a constant “tired” look, or the risks of going to an untrained injector.
How Under‑Eye Filler Works
What it is
Under‑eye (tear trough) filler uses small amounts of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel to gently lift the groove between your lower eyelid and cheek. The goal is a smoother transition that reduces shadowing while preserving your expression. Dermatology guidance notes fillers can restore fullness to hollow areas under the eyes when properly selected and placed.
Who it’s for
Best for hollowness and shadowing.
Not ideal when puffiness/fat pads or significant skin laxity are the main issues; in those cases, we’ll discuss other options. (We’ll be honest either way.)
Alternatives and add‑ons
PRF EZ Gel: prepared from your own blood (platelet‑rich fibrin). It behaves like a natural filler and supports tissue regeneration—useful alone or paired with HA in select cases.
Crow’s feet: relaxing these lines with a neurotoxin can help the eye area look smoother when you smile.
Dark circles from pigment: medical skincare (e.g., brightening and retinoid protocols) may help. Ask about ZO Skin Health.
What to expect
Visit length: typically brief; your consult includes a candidacy assessment and plan.
Downtime: expect possible swelling or bruising for a few days; common injection‑site effects usually resolve within 1–2 weeks.
Longevity: results are temporary; maintenance appointments help you keep a consistent look over time. (We’ll tailor timing to your goals.)
Aftercare basics
Skip strenuous workouts, saunas, and facials the first day.
Sleep with your head elevated the first night.
