Dermal Fillers — Under Eyes
Under-Eye Filler
Reviewed by Dr. Alexander Landfield, Board-Certified Neurologist
Refresh tired-looking eyes with expertly placed under-eye filler at Rani Beauty Clinic. Our physician-supervised tear trough treatment addresses dark circles, hollowing, and under-eye shadows by restoring lost volume in this delicate area, delivering a naturally rested, rejuvenated appearance.
How Dermal Fillers Works on the Under Eyes
Your provider carefully evaluates the tear trough anatomy — assessing the depth of hollowing, skin thickness, and the relationship between the lower eyelid and cheek. After applying topical numbing cream, a small amount of soft, flexible hyaluronic acid filler is placed beneath the orbicularis oculi muscle using a cannula for maximum safety. This deep placement fills the hollow between the orbital bone and the cheek, reducing the shadow and discoloration that creates the dark circle appearance. Results are immediate but final settling occurs over 2–4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is under-eye filler safe?
Under-eye filler is safe when performed by an experienced, trained provider with thorough knowledge of periorbital anatomy. At Rani Beauty Clinic, our providers use cannula techniques to minimize vascular risk, and all treatments are physician-supervised. We select specific fillers designed for the delicate tear trough area and use conservative amounts.
How much filler is needed for under-eye treatment?
Most clients need 0.5–1.0 mL (half to one syringe) total for both under-eyes. The tear trough is a delicate area that requires very small amounts of filler placed precisely. Over-filling can lead to puffiness, so our providers take a conservative approach.
Will under-eye filler fix my dark circles?
Under-eye filler effectively treats dark circles caused by hollowing and shadowing. By filling the depression, the shadow is eliminated, dramatically reducing the dark appearance. However, if your dark circles are caused by hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration) rather than volume loss, filler alone may not fully address the concern, and additional treatments may be recommended.
What is the recovery like after under-eye filler?
Expect mild swelling for 3–5 days and possible bruising for up to 7 days. The under-eye area is vascular and delicate, so bruising is more common here than in other filler sites. Arnica and cold compresses can help. Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and blood-thinning supplements for 48 hours.
