When Filler Helps
Hollow tear troughs and mild under-eye volume loss respond well to hyaluronic acid filler placed with cannula technique by experienced injectors. Goal is smoother transition from lower lid to cheek — not elimination of all shadows.
Dark circles caused by pigment, thin skin showing vessels, or structural hollowing each have different solutions. Filler addresses volume loss; IPL or skincare may better suit pigment.
When We Say No
Significant eye bags from fat prolapse may need surgical blepharoplasty, not filler. Excessive swelling, malar edema, or unrealistic expectations are contraindications. We prioritize safety over sale.
The under-eye area has delicate vasculature. Vascular occlusion is rare but serious — another reason to choose a experienced injector with hyaluronidase available on-site.
Recovery and Longevity
Bruising is common for five to ten days. Sleep elevated, avoid alcohol and blood thinners if medically approved to pause. Results last nine to eighteen months depending on product.
Schedule a candidacy assessment at Aurevia before assuming filler is your answer. Sometimes conservative Botox to orbicularis or radiofrequency tightening is the better path.
