Under-eye filler

It is the thinnest area of the face, and the one that forgives excess least. So we use little product, a gel made for thin skin and a cannula instead of a needle. At the consultation we see whether the circle is deep or only dark; if it is dark, we tell you this is not the treatment.

The session takes 30 minutes. It costs €328. It lasts 9 to 12 months.

What changes with under-eye filler

A soft hyaluronic acid gel, made for thin skin, placed in the groove between the eyelid and the cheek. The groove fills, the shadow it casts goes, and the eyes stop looking tired.

Is it for you?

The deep kind of dark circle, the groove. The dark kind, from pigment or vessels under thin skin, needs a different approach, and we tell you which you have. Marked fat bags or very loose skin can look worse with product; in those cases we prefer not to treat, and we say why.

What happens in the session

Numbing cream, then the gel with a cannula: one entry point, fewer bruises. Little product, in a deep plane. Thirty minutes.

What you'll see, and when

The same day; definitive at two weeks. It lasts 9 to 12 months, often longer, because the area moves little.

After the treatment

Light swelling, sometimes a small bruise that make-up covers from the next day. Work the same day is fine.

Why it looks natural

This is the area that forgives excess least, so everything is chosen against it: a soft gel made for thin skin, a small amount, a deep plane. That is also what avoids a bluish tint. When the hollow comes from a dropped mid-face, we treat the cheekbone first instead of adding more here. The groove fills, the shadow goes; the eyes just stop looking tired.

Honest answers

Will it show? The same day; definitive at two weeks. Sometimes a small bruise that make-up covers from the next day.

Does it hurt? Numbing cream first, then a cannula: one entry point, fewer bruises.

What if I don't like it? Hyaluronic acid dissolves with hyaluronidase (€150), fully or partly.

How we do it at Cosmo Clinic

This is the area that forgives excess least, so we use the right gel, a small amount and a deep plane, which is also what avoids a bluish tint. When the hollow comes from a dropped mid-face, cheekbone filler comes first. Dissolvable with hyaluronidase if ever needed. €328. The consultation is free.
