Restore a smoother, more refreshed appearance to hollow or tired-looking under-eyes with a carefully customised filler treatment.
Under-eye filler, also known as tear-trough filler, is an injectable treatment designed to soften hollowness between the lower eyelid and upper cheek.
By carefully restoring volume to selected areas, the treatment may reduce shadows caused by under-eye hollows and create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. This can help the eyes appear brighter, less sunken and more rested.
Under-eye filler is generally best suited to clients whose concerns are primarily caused by volume loss, genetics or the natural ageing process. It may not be appropriate for clients with significant under-eye bags, prominent fat pads, fluid retention, loose skin or certain pigmentation concerns.
Because the under-eye area is delicate and anatomically complex, one of our experienced injectors will carefully assess your facial structure, skin quality and medical history before recommending treatment.
Benefits
Reduces Under-Eye Hollowness
Restores subtle volume beneath the eyes to soften a sunken appearance.
Creates a More Rested Appearance
Reduces shadowing caused by hollowness, helping the eyes appear brighter and more refreshed.
Smooths the Lid-to-Cheek Transition
Creates a softer, more even transition between the lower eyelid and upper cheek.
Immediate Improvement
A visible difference may be seen immediately, although temporary swelling can affect the initial appearance.
Personalised Treatment
The product, dosage and placement are tailored to your anatomy and desired result.
What to Expect
Treatment Time: Approximately 30–45 minutes
Comfort: A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment. Some fillers also contain lidocaine to help minimise discomfort.
Initial Results: Improvement is generally visible immediately after injection.
Final Results: The area typically settles over approximately 1–2 weeks, although swelling may take longer to resolve in some clients.
Duration: Results commonly last approximately 9–12 months. Longevity varies according to the product used, amount injected, metabolism and individual response.
Downtime: Minimal. Some clients return to work the same day, while others prefer to allow at least 24 hours for swelling or redness to improve. Bruising and puffiness may last several days.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
-
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Avoid touching, rubbing or applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours.
-
Do not massage the under-eye area unless specifically instructed by your injector.
-
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat and prolonged sun exposure for at least 24 hours.
-
Avoid applying makeup directly over the injection sites until they have closed and the area has settled.

Alternative Treatments
PRP or PRF Rejuvenation
Platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin treatments use components obtained from your own blood to support gradual skin rejuvenation.
These treatments may be considered by clients who prefer a regenerative option or who are not ideal candidates for filler. However, they may not provide the same immediate or predictable volume correction as dermal filler.
PRP and PRF treatments are available at VC Esthetics following a personalised consultation.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed by a qualified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon. It may be more suitable for clients with prominent fat pads, significant under-eye bags or excess lower-eyelid skin.
Surgery involves greater downtime and a different risk profile than injectable treatment.
Pricing Information
The advertised price applies to one under-eye treatment area.
Final pricing may vary depending on:
-
The product selected
-
The amount of filler required
-
The complexity of treatment
-
Your customised treatment plan
-
Any additional treatment areas
Premium products or additional syringes may involve an additional cost. Prices, promotional offers, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.
Important Safety Information
Under-eye filler is a medical procedure and should only be performed by an appropriately trained and qualified healthcare professional.
Temporary side effects may include swelling, tenderness, redness, bruising, asymmetry, firmness or visible lumps. Delayed swelling, prolonged puffiness, infection, bluish discolouration or an unsatisfactory result may also occur.
A rare but serious complication can occur if filler enters or compresses a blood vessel. Contact your injector immediately if you experience severe or increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, unusual discolouration, coolness, blistering or any change in vision.
Results vary between clients. A personalised consultation is required to determine whether under-eye filler is appropriate for you.
