 Whether from aging, loss of volume, lack of sleep, or simply genetics, dark circles underneath the eyes are a very common occurrence. Even the most healthy, well-rested individuals can have dark circles or streaks. Under eye creams are necessary for maintaining the skin texture & laxity and can improve dark circles, but dermal fillers are another option to address volume loss. It may be time to consider tear trough filler.
The tear trough is the under eye area between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek. A deep tear trough can give the appearance of dark streaks or accentuate eye bags (fat pads). Deep tear trough depressions can be caused by a few factors:
The goal of tear trough filler is to improve volume in the under eye region and give the area a more rested and youthful appearance. What is Tear Trough Filler? Tear trough filler, also known as under eye filler, is a non-surgical injection procedure performed by an experienced medical professional. This filler adds volume beneath the eyelids and decreases shadows and indentations. Tear trough filler is not permanent, but results can last up to one year after injection.

Your provider will determine how many sessions are needed, which is directly related to the amount of volume loss, usually no more than one syringe is injected in one session. The under eye is a precarious area and overfilling is highly discouraged. The volume loss of the cheeks must be addressed first with filler, before treating the tear troughs.

These side effects are temporary and should resolve after a few days. However, more serious complications may occur in the form of:
