AM I A CANDIDATE?

Is under-eye filler right for you? ✓ Good Candidates • True under-eye hollows or shadows • Look tired or sunken even when rested • Lost volume from the lower lid to cheek • Want a subtle, rested look

• Comfortable with 9–12 month maintenance

• Healthy adult, no active eye-area infection
⚠ May Not Be Right For
• Puffiness or eye bags (volumizer can worsen these)
• Festoons or malar bags / fluid retention
• Allergy to HA or lidocaine in the product
• Active infection or cold sore near the eye • Pregnant or breastfeeding • Want a permanent result (volumizer is temporary)

A consultation with a dermatologist-trained provider confirms candidacy. Not everyone is a good under-eye candidate, and we will tell you honestly.

ABOUT THE TREATMENT

Soften hollows, look rested.

Under-eye filler places a small amount of soft hyaluronic-acid gel into the tear-trough hollow to reduce shadows and the tired, sunken look. The result is a smoother transition from the lower lid into the cheek.

This is a delicate, conservative treatment, often just 0.5 to 1 syringe. It works best for a true hollow; it is not right for puffiness or eye bags. Dermatologist-trained providers use soft, low-swelling HA and can dissolve the result if needed.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

How to prep for under-eye filler

The under-eye area bruises easily, so it is especially important to pause blood thinners (ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 48 hours and alcohol for 24 hours. Arrive well-rested with clean skin and tell us about allergies or fluid retention.

• Pause blood thinners ~48h before (important here)
• No alcohol 24h prior
• Clean under-eyes, no makeup or concealer
• Mention allergies or puffiness
• Plan for possible bruising
