Under Eye Filler
Are your friends asking you if you are getting enough sleep? Have you tried numerous concealers and highlighters, and find the dark circles under your eyes still show up? Maybe you have used up the tea bags in your house, trying to reduce the look of those circles. Or you have spent time with ice on your eyelids or purchased ice globes, hoping the shadows will diminish.

You may feel like you have tried everything, but even when some treatments work, the effects are short-term. Liquid foundation make-up can be applied and still may not cover the darkness. Concealers can look unnatural when you need to apply enough to cover up the dark shadows. Added to those issues, the stress of our daily lives and the resulting loss of quality sleep may contribute to that look of exhaustion.
If you want long-term results, under-eye correction using injectable dermal fillers could be the ideal non-surgical treatment for you. The specially trained staff at Viata Aesthetics and Wellness Katy will help find an individualized plan for your under-eye dark circles using the best under eye fillers.
The board-certified medical professionals at Viata Aesthetics and Wellness assess the cause of the dark circles and then recommend treatment specific to that cause. These experts can help determine the cause of your dark circles and recommend the right treatment. If there are no underlying health concerns, under-eye fillers using injections may be recommended.
Under-eye fillers use various types of injectable gels, the most popular being one made of hyaluronic acid. This treatment reduces the depth of a tear trough. The dermal filler makes the skin look firmer and more filled out.
The hyaluronic acid gel injection fills out hollows and can even stimulate the production of collagen, which can improve the overall health of the skin under the eyes. This skin is especially delicate and requires special skills like those of the Viata aesthetic specialists.
Your treatment begins with a careful assessment of the under-eye area, including skin quality, volume loss, and the depth of the tear trough. After your customized plan is created, the area is gently cleansed, and a topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort. Your provider then injects a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler using a fine needle or cannula, strategically placing the product to smooth hollows and blend the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
Most patients describe the procedure as quick and tolerable, feeling only light pressure during injections. Once completed, your results are immediately noticeable, with continued softening and settling over the next several days.
A tear trough is a deep crease between the lower eyelid and upper cheek. These creases sometimes cast a shadow below your eyes, making you look tired. You may think you look older because of these tear troughs.
In certain individuals, tear troughs are an inherited trait. In others, tear troughs become more prominent with age because facial tissues lose volume as you get older.
The term “dark circles” is an umbrella term used to describe various cosmetic concerns around the eyes. Treatment for this condition is one of the most sought-after facial improvements.
There are many components to “dark circles,” including genetics. Our genetics determine the thickness of our skin, underlying fat pads, and their placement. Some individuals are born with less fat in the under-eye area, resulting in an indentation commonly referred to as a tear trough hollow.
The under-eye filler treatment is designed around your unique facial anatomy and goals. Expertly administered filler can improve the appearance of:
By filling and smoothing these areas, the under-eyes appear brighter, smoother, and more youthful.
Under-eye filler provides immediate yet natural-looking rejuvenation, helping restore a rested, refreshed appearance without surgery. By filling hollows and supporting thinner skin, the treatment reduces shadows, smooths the under-eye contour, and softens fine lines. Hyaluronic acid also attracts hydration, improving overall skin quality over time.
Many patients love that the treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and offers long-lasting results—allowing you to look brighter and more awake every day.
Ideal candidates are individuals bothered by hollowness, shadowing, or early volume loss beneath the eyes. You should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about what fillers can achieve. Under-eye filler is best suited for hollowing rather than puffiness caused by prominent fat pads.
Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or experiencing active skin infections or certain medical conditions may need to postpone treatment. Your Viata injector will guide you through a complete evaluation to determine whether this treatment is the right fit for you.
Recovery from under-eye filler is typically minimal. You may notice mild swelling or redness in the treatment area for a few days, and bruising, if it occurs, usually resolves quickly. Applying a cold compress intermittently during the first 24 hours can help minimize swelling.
Avoid strenuous workouts, alcohol, heat exposure, and direct pressure on the under-eyes for the first day. As the filler settles, your under-eye contour will continue to smooth and refine, revealing brighter, more refreshed-looking eyes within one to two weeks.
You’ll see immediate improvement in under-eye hollowness, but results become even more refined over the following 10–14 days as the filler integrates with the tissue. The under-eye area appears smoother, brighter, and more hydrated, with reduced shadows and a more refreshed expression.
Most patients enjoy results for 9–18 months, depending on anatomy, filler type, and metabolic rate. With consistent maintenance, under-eye filler can provide ongoing brightness and youthfulness that blends seamlessly with the rest of your facial features.
Because the skin under your lower eyelid is the thinnest on your body and therefore fragile, it is important to find board-certified, qualified medical professionals who have experience in diagnosing the cause of your dark circles. If you are seeking under-eye filler treatments, the professionals at Viata Aesthetics and Wellness will safely and deftly apply the right treatment to solve the issue. Schedule your consultation with our specialists today to finally get rid of those dark circles under the eyes.
Anyone who has mild to moderate sagging under the eyes, is physically healthy, and wants to reduce the appearance of under-eye dark circles can benefit from under-eye filler treatment.
Your Viata Aesthetics and Wellness trained professional will assess the thickness and texture of the skin under your eyes to determine the ideal under-eye filler for you. In the case of hyaluronic acid fillers, the injection is mixed with lidocaine (a numbing medication) to reduce any discomfort. You will feel slight pressure and a prick, but it should not be too painful. Let your Viata injector know if you have any concerns.
You may have some redness, swelling, and bruising, but the side effects usually clear up after two or three days. You will need to apply ice during those first two days and avoid strenuous activity. The area under your eyes will look fuller soon after the treatment, but full results may take a bit longer.
Under-eye fillers are non-surgical and temporary but may last one or two years. You may want to repeat the injections when you notice the shadows returning.
Some people have almond-shaped eyes, some hooded, and some hollowed. Everyone has a natural valley that sits atop the rim of bone that encircles the eye. This valley is a natural and normal contour that is caused by an area of compressed tissue layers. Some just have deeper valleys than others.
In photographs, this valley can show up as a shadow and make us look older and tired. Since the skin and fat pads are thinner in this area than anywhere on the body the visualization of muscle and vascular bed through the tissues, similar to the way that we can see those green-blue reticular veins through the skin on our legs, further contributes to “dark circles.”
This will be more of an issue for those who are genetically coded for lighter skin because it is easier to see these vessels through the skin. In addition, these blood vessels weaken with aging (and other factors, i.e., lack of sleep, nutritional deficiencies, etc.) and begin to leak, leaving behind pigment in the dermis, which further contributes to “dark circles.”
Age is a contributing factor and is one of the leading causes of dark under-eye circles. As you age, the structure under your skin, made up of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid starts to break down, resulting in weaker skin around the eyes. This can also cause fat to shift to your lower eyelids, creating shadows and hollows in the skin below.
Let’s not forget about sun exposure. Often, our under-eye filler patients will see that, due to the position of their under-eye valley at the edge of the cheek prominence, they also have concentrated sun damage and/or pigment formation in that area. The overproduction of melanin (skin pigment) is yet another problem for some individuals, especially those with olive and darker tones.
Furthermore, things like allergies, food sensitivities, dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, and lack of sleep can cause puffiness and shadows. In rare cases, the latter can indicate an underlying health condition, such as problems with the thyroid or adrenal glands.
As you can see, there are a multitude of contributing factors to “dark circles,” each with a different route to treatment. It is important that you be evaluated by someone who understands the causes of these dark circles and how to differentiate between the causes. Selecting the right treatment for you will evolve from that consultation.
