Dermal Fillers for Under Eyes: Your Complete Guide to Brighter, Refreshed Eyes
Introduction
Are you considering dermal filler for under eyes to address tired-looking eyes, dark circles, or hollowing? Under-eye fillers have become one of the most sought-after treatments for achieving a refreshed, youthful appearance. This guide walks you through the essentials of dermal fillers for under eyes, how they work, what to expect, and key considerations to ensure you’re in expert hands.
What Are Under-Eye Fillers?
Under-eye fillers are a type of dermal filler designed to add volume and smoothness to the tear trough area. This treatment helps minimize the appearance of:
- Hollow or sunken under-eyes
- Dark circles caused by volume loss
- Fine lines or shadows under the eyes
Most under-eye fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that hydrates and plumps tissue. Popular options include fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero, each tailored to address specific needs and skin types.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The process typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: An experienced provider evaluates your under-eye area to determine if fillers are the right solution.
- Preparation: Your provider will clean the area and numb it for comfort.
- Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, the filler is carefully placed in the tear trough region to ensure a smooth, natural look.
- Post-Treatment Care: Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves in a few days.
The procedure itself is quick, often completed in under 30 minutes, with minimal downtime.
What Results Can You Expect?
Under-eye fillers provide immediate improvement, with final results settling within 1–2 weeks. Clients often describe their eyes as looking more refreshed, youthful, and awake. While it’s typically said that under-eye fillers last 6–12 months, in most cases, they can last significantly longer. This is due to the minimal movement in the tear trough area compared to other parts of the face, which slows the breakdown of the filler. Individual results vary depending on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the type of filler used.
Achieving the Best Results
The under-eye area often requires supportive areas, such as the cheeks, to be treated in conjunction with tear trough fillers to achieve optimal results. Most clients require additional treatments to reach their goals.
When considering dermal filler for under eyes, it’s crucial to choose a skilled and experienced provider. This is your face, and selecting the right professional is essential for ensuring safe and natural-looking results. Take the time to do your research:
- Look at before-and-after photos of under-eye filler treatments.
- Read reviews and testimonials to understand others’ experiences.
- Verify the provider’s qualifications and experience.
Avoid choosing a provider based solely on the lowest price, coupons, or promotions. Quality and safety should always come first when it comes to your face and health. At Allure Aesthetics, we prioritize your goals, safety, and satisfaction to deliver exceptional, natural results.
How Many Syringes Will You Need?
On average, 1–2 syringes are needed per session, with 2–4 sessions recommended for long-term results.
At Allure Aesthetics, located in King of Prussia, PA, just outside Philadelphia, we charge $700–$725 per syringe depending on the product best suited to your needs. As a Beauty Bank member, you’ll receive $25 off per syringe.
Are There Alternatives to Dermal Fillers?
While dermal fillers are highly effective for under-eye rejuvenation, they’re not the only option. Alternatives like EZ-gel PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) offer a natural approach to enhancing the under-eye area. PRF treatments use your body’s own platelets and growth factors to improve skin quality, boost collagen production, and reduce dark circles over time.

Who Is NOT a Good Candidate for Under-Eye Fillers?
While under-eye fillers can deliver remarkable results, they are not suitable for everyone. You may not be a good candidate if you:
- Have significant skin laxity or under-eye bags that may require surgery for optimal results
- Have severe dark circles caused by pigmentation rather than volume loss
- Are prone to fluid retention or puffiness under the eyes, including those who experience puffiness due to allergies, as fillers may exacerbate these issues
- Have unrealistic expectations about the outcomes of filler treatments
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions that could impact your suitability for treatment—always share your complete medical history during your consultation
A skilled provider will evaluate your specific anatomy, concerns, and goals to determine the best course of action. In some cases, alternative treatments such as laser therapy, skincare, or surgical options may offer better results for your needs.
Risks and Considerations
While dermal filler for under eyes is generally safe, they do carry some risks, especially when performed by inexperienced providers. Potential side effects include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Lumps or unevenness if improperly injected
- Rare complications like vascular occlusion or infection
Choosing a highly-skilled provider is critical to minimizing these risks and achieving the best results.
