Under Eye Filler: Get Rid of Dark Circles & Tear Trough Hollows in Santa Cruz
What is under eye filler treatment for tear troughs and dark circles?
Tear trough filler, also known as under eye filler or dermal fillers, has become a popular treatment for patients seeking to eliminate dark circles, hollows, eye-bags, and sunken eyes. These symptoms are caused by the natural aging process, which leads to a loss of volume and elasticity in the skin. This is particularly true in the area around the eyes, which is a delicate and sensitive region of the face.
The impact of these symptoms can be significant. They can make a person look tired, older, and less vibrant than they feel. This can have a negative impact on their self-confidence and cause them to feel self-conscious about their appearance. Many patients seek tear trough filler treatment to address these concerns, as it is an effective and minimally invasive way to rejuvenate the under eye area.
What products are used for tear troughs and dark circles?
During the treatment, the physician injects a hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, RHA, or Voluma into the under eye area. The results are immediate, with patients experiencing a reduction in dark circles, a smoothing of wrinkles, and a restoration of volume to the area. The treatment is advanced and requires a skilled and experienced provider.
When selecting a provider for tear trough filler treatment, patients should look for a physician that has extensive experience with injectable treatments and a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the under eye area. Choosing someone like Rebecca Small, MD ensures that treatment is performed safely and effectively, with minimal risk of complications.
How Do Under Eye Filler Treatments Work to Treat Tear Troughs and Dark Circles?
Under eye fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to add volume and plumpness to the skin. When injected under the eyes, the filler adds volume to the area, reducing the appearance of dark circles and hollows. The results of the treatment can last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the product used and the individual patient.

There are several options available, including Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Voluma. Each product has its own unique properties. Dr. Small will select the one that is best suited for your specific needs.
Your treatment will start with the application of a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. This helps to reduce any discomfort you may feel during the procedure. Next, the product will be injected into the area under your eyes using a small needle. The injections are quick and relatively painless, and the entire procedure takes only about 30 to 50 minutes. You should plan for one to 1.5 hours for your appointment.
What Can I Expect After Under Eye Filler Treatment?
After the treatment, you may experience some swelling or bruising in the area. This is normal and should subside within a few days. You can reduce any discomfort by applying a cold compress to the area or taking over-the-counter pain medication such as Tylenol.

Most patients noticing a significant improvement in the appearance of their dark circles and hollows right after the treatment. While some swelling and bruising may occur, these side effects typically subside within a week or so.

It’s important to note that while under eye filler can significantly reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollows, it may not completely eliminate them. In some cases, additional treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels may be recommended to help further improve the appearance of the under eye area.
