What causes hollow under-eyes?
The area under the eyes, often called the tear trough, can look hollow or shadowed when volume is lost in the cheek and lower lid with age, or simply because of the way your face is built. Dark circles from pigment or thin skin are a different concern.
How we treat the under-eye area
The under-eye area is delicate, so not everyone is a candidate for filler. When it suits you, a soft hyaluronic acid filler is placed in small amounts, and support is often restored in the cheek first. Your injector will assess the area before recommending treatment.
Your filler timeline
Typical for hyaluronic acid filler. How long it lasts depends on the product and the area.
