What under eye fillers treat
Under eye fillers treat the whole lower-eyelid area, from the lash line down to where it meets the cheek. They focus on broad hollowness and thin, shadowed skin.
- General under-eye hollowness
- Sunken or tired-looking eyes
- Shadowing from thin lower-eyelid skin
- Volume loss at the lid-cheek junction
- Uneven contour beneath both eyes
- Hollowness after weight loss
If your main concern is a single, defined groove running from the inner corner of the eye, see tear trough fillers. For thin, crepey skin, a Rejuran Healer course can improve skin quality.
How under eye fillers work
With age, the fat pads under the eyes shrink and the skin becomes thinner, so light catches the hollow and creates shadow. A soft, low-density HA filler placed in a deep layer close to the bone restores a smooth surface across the lower eyelid. Because this area swells easily, the doctor uses small volumes and a product designed to absorb little water.
Most under-eye treatment is performed with a blunt cannula through one small entry point, which reduces bruising risk. Dark circles caused by pigmentation or visible blood vessels respond less to filler, so your physician will check the cause first. Where hollowness extends into the cheek, supporting the mid-face with cheek fillers can give a more natural result.
Your treatment day
- Assessment Your physician examines the under-eye area in different light to separate hollowness from pigmentation, puffiness or excess skin.
- Numbing Topical anaesthetic cream is applied for about 20 minutes while you relax in your private room.
- Cannula injection The doctor places small amounts of soft filler with a blunt cannula, checking contour on both sides as they go.
- Cooling and aftercare A cold pack is applied, you review the result and receive written aftercare instructions.

Under Eye Fillers FAQ
Do under eye fillers hurt?
Most patients feel pressure and mild discomfort. Numbing cream, a cannula and lidocaine in the filler keep it tolerable.
How long do under eye fillers last?
Results typically last 9–12 months, and sometimes longer because there is little movement in this area. Your doctor will advise on timing for a top-up.
What is the difference between under eye and tear trough fillers?
Under eye fillers treat general hollowness across the whole lower eyelid. Tear trough fillers target the specific groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek.
Will filler fix my dark circles?
Filler helps when shadows come from hollowness. Dark circles from pigmentation or visible veins need other treatments, which your physician can recommend.
Can I fly home after under eye fillers?
Flying is usually fine after a day or two. Swelling can increase slightly on a long flight, so staying hydrated helps.
How much do under eye fillers cost?
Cost depends on the amount of filler you need. Message us on WhatsApp at +82 10 6463 5532 for a personalised quote.
What are the side effects?
Bruising, swelling and mild lumpiness are the most common and usually settle within a week or two. Rare risks include prolonged puffiness and vascular complications, so treatment is always performed by a physician.
