Fillers
Eye Rejuvenation Filler
Because the under-eye skin is the thinnest and most delicate on the face, filler here must be placed with great precision to avoid lumps, unevenness or a bluish tint.
Procedure time
Within about 30 minutes
Anesthesia
Topical ointment anesthesia (local anesthesia if needed)
Lasts
Domestic: 6–12 months; Imported: 12–18 months
Downtime
Minimal, but because the under-eye skin is very thin, mild swelling or a small bruise can appear for a few days; it is easily covered with concealer and usually settles within about a week
Overview
Description
Because the under-eye skin is the thinnest and most delicate on the face, filler here must be placed with great precision to avoid lumps, unevenness or a bluish tint. At HERA, our doctors use fine blunt-tip micro-cannulas and high-purity hyaluronic acid to gently fill tear-trough hollows, soften the shadow of dark circles and restore a rested, refreshed look. The result is a brighter, less tired eye area that stays smooth and completely natural — never puffy or overfilled.
Why it works
The essentials, at a glance
High-Purity, Safe Filler
We use KFDA- and FDA-approved hyaluronic-acid fillers to minimize the risk of side effects in this delicate area.
Minimal Bruising & Swelling
A blunt-tip micro-cannula is used to reduce pain, bruising and swelling around the thin under-eye skin.
Brighter, Firmer Skin
HA promotes collagen response, improving under-eye tone and elasticity for a rested, refreshed impression.
Treatment Areas
Treatment Areas
Each area is planned separately, based on your anatomy.
Tear Trough / Under-Eye Hollows
Fills the sunken groove beneath the eye to soften dark circles and brighten the lower lid.
Sunken Eyes
Restores gentle volume to hollow, tired-looking eyes for a livelier, refreshed appearance.
Post-Surgery Correction
Smooths irregularities or scarring after double-eyelid surgery with filler instead of revision surgery.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions international patients ask us most.
Why is under-eye filler considered more delicate than other areas?
The skin beneath the eyes is the thinnest on the face, so poorly placed filler can look lumpy or give a bluish tint. HERA uses fine blunt-tip cannulas and conservative amounts of high-purity HA to keep the result smooth and natural.
Will it get rid of my dark circles?
If your dark circles come from a hollow tear trough casting a shadow, filler can noticeably brighten the area. Dark circles caused mainly by pigmentation may need additional treatment, which we assess during consultation.
How long does the procedure take and is it painful?
It usually takes about 10–15 minutes. Topical anesthesia keeps discomfort minimal, and the micro-cannula technique further reduces pain and bruising.
How long do the results last?
Results are visible immediately. Domestic fillers typically last 6–12 months and imported fillers 12–18 months, varying with the product and individual metabolism.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Because the skin is thin, a small bruise or mild swelling may show for a few days but is easily concealed and usually resolves within about a week.
