Under-eye filler in Auckland
Under-eye filler uses a hyaluronic acid dermal filler to soften hollows under the eyes, an area sometimes called the tear trough. It can help when a hollow comes from lost volume, but the causes of under-eye hollows and dark circles vary, and filler is not suitable for everyone. At Skinfresh in Milford it starts with an assessment, and is from $650 for 1ml.

What causes under-eye hollows and dark circles
Hollows and dark circles under the eyes have more than one cause. Loss of volume can create a hollow or a shadow. Other causes include pigmentation in the skin, blood vessels showing through thin skin, puffiness, and tiredness. Filler can only help with the part that comes from lost volume, which is why an assessment comes first.
Who it may suit
Under-eye filler may suit adults whose under-eye hollows come mainly from volume loss. Filler does not remove under-eye bags or dark circles, and it is usually not the right choice where puffiness is the main concern. It is not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your nurse will ask about your medical history and tell you honestly if a different treatment, or no treatment, would suit you better.
What results to expect
Where it suits, filler can soften the hollow so the area looks less shadowed. Results can be seen straight away, with some swelling at first, and they vary from person to person.
Before and after
How long it lasts
With a strategic top-up, dermal filler results can last many months and sometimes over a year, depending on the area and the product used. Individual results vary, and your nurse will suggest when a review may be worthwhile.
Downtime and aftercare
Most people return to normal activities straight away. The skin under the eyes is thin, so bruising and swelling can happen. Our team uses Accuvein vein-mapping to help avoid vessels and reduce the chance of bruising, and any minor bruising can be gently treated with our painless laser. Your nurse will talk you through aftercare before you leave.
Risks
The common risks are bruising, swelling and tenderness. Less common are lumps or unevenness. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel, which needs urgent treatment. That is why under-eye filler at Skinfresh is placed by our medical team, with vein-mapping and a doctor on site. Your nurse will explain the risks before treatment and what to look out for afterwards.
