Dark circles, hollowing, and under-eye shadows can make you look tired or older than you feel. Under-eye fillers, also known as tear trough fillers, offer a minimally invasive solution to restore volume, smooth the under-eye area, and brighten your appearance. But is this treatment right for you?
Dr. Robert Schwarcz, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, specializes in under-eye fillers, providing natural-looking results that rejuvenate the delicate area beneath the eyes.
What Are Under-Eye Fillers?
Under-eye fillers are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid (HA) to restore volume to the hollow areas beneath the eyes, known as the tear troughs. This smooths shadows, reduces the appearance of dark circles, and creates a refreshed look.
Common Fillers for the Under-Eye Area:
Restylane Eyelight: Specifically designed for the tear trough area, offering natural and long-lasting results.
RHA Fillers: Provide flexibility and a soft finish that moves naturally with facial expressions.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Under-Eye Filler?
Under-eye fillers may be right for you if:
You have hollowing or volume loss under the eyes that creates shadows.
You experience mild to moderate dark circles caused by thinning skin or hollowing, rather than pigmentation.
You notice tired-looking eyes but want a non-surgical solution.
Your skin is healthy, and you are free from infections or active skin conditions in the area.
When Under-Eye Filler May Not Be the Best Option:
If your dark circles are caused primarily by pigmentation, other treatments like chemical peels or lasers may be more effective.
If you have significant puffiness or bags under the eyes, surgical options like lower blepharoplasty may be more appropriate.
Benefits of Under-Eye Filler
Non-Surgical: A quick, minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime.
Immediate Results: Noticeable improvements right after treatment, with full results developing within a few days.
Customizable: Tailored to your unique anatomy and goals.
Natural-Looking: Carefully applied fillers provide subtle, refined enhancements.
What to Expect During the Procedure
1. Consultation:
Dr. Schwarcz evaluates your under-eye area, discusses your concerns, and determines if fillers are the right solution for you.
2. Treatment:
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
Fillers are precisely injected into the tear trough area using a fine needle or cannula to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of bruising.
3. Immediate Results:
Initial results are visible right away, with minor swelling subsiding within 1–2 days.
Aftercare Tips
Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24 hours.
Use a cold compress to minimize swelling if needed.
Follow all aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Schwarcz to maintain optimal results.
Are There Alternatives to Under-Eye Filler?
If under-eye filler isn’t the best fit for your concerns, other treatments may provide better results:
CO2 Laser Resurfacing: Tightens skin and reduces fine lines under the eyes.
Chemical Peels: Improves pigmentation and texture in the under-eye area.
Lower Blepharoplasty: A surgical option for addressing puffiness or severe under-eye bags.
