We all want to look refreshed and well-rested, but sometimes, no amount of sleep or eye cream can do the trick. That’s where under-eye filler comes in! This popular treatment is a game-changer for smoothing out hollows and brightening the under-eye area. But is it the right fit for you? Let's dive into what makes a great candidate and answer some of your most-asked questions!

Who is a good candidate for under-eye filler?

If you struggle with sunken under-eyes or dark circles caused by volume loss, under-eye filler might be your secret weapon. The best candidates have true hollows in the under-eye area and good skin quality—if your skin is too loose, filler may not settle properly and could look uneven.

On the other hand, if you have under-eye bags (puffiness rather than hollowness), filler isn’t the best option. Since filler adds volume, it can actually make bags appear more pronounced. Instead, other treatments like laser resurfacing or surgical correction may be more effective. That’s why a consultation with an experienced provider is key—we’ll help you find the best solution for your unique needs!

Your top under-eye filler questions, answered!

How long does under-eye filler last?

Under-eye filler typically lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on how your body metabolizes it. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm are commonly used and can be dissolved if needed.

What’s the downtime like?

The beauty of under-eye filler is that downtime is minimal! Here’s what you can expect:

  • Mild swelling and bruising, which usually resolves within 48 hours to a week
  • Possible lumpiness, which can be improved with gentle massage (if advised by your provider)
  • Slight redness or tenderness, which should fade within a few days

To speed up recovery, we recommend applying an ice pack immediately after your treatment and for the first 24 hours. Avoiding alcohol, exercise, and blood-thinning medications for a day or two can also help reduce bruising.
