Fine lines, dark circles, and hollows under the eyes cause a tired, sleepless, or aged expression. Even trying to cover them with makeup doesn’t provide a real solution.

At our clinic in Istanbul, our light filler offered through meticulous applications by our dermatology and medical aesthetics specialists fills your under-eye hollows with special hyaluronic acid-based formula, both reducing deep shadows and giving the skin a radiant rejuvenation.
What is Under-Eye Light Filler?
Under-eye light filler is an aesthetic application where FDA/CE approved “light filler” formula containing hyaluronic acid is injected into under-eye hollows and fine wrinkles through fine cannulas.
Purpose:
- Alleviating hollow appearance by filling tear trough (under-eye groove)
- Masking dark circles and shadows by reflecting light
- Softening fine lines and wrinkles by providing subcutaneous moisturization
Material: Low-density, lightly fluid hyaluronic acid + reflective particles
Duration: Average 20-30 minutes; comfortable and quick procedure
Longevity: 9-12 months effect; may vary depending on metabolism
Why Choose Under-Eye Light Filler?
- Non-Surgical Brightening: Powerful solution for bruising and hollow appearance without surgery
- Instant Fresh Effect: You gain a brightened, refreshed gaze immediately after the procedure
- Minimum Recovery Time: Mild swelling/bruising passes within 2-4 days; quick return to social life
- Moisture Support: Hyaluronic acid moisturizes skin, contributing to softening of fine lines
- Natural Radiance: With light filler particles, a gentle radiance reflects from under the skin
- Reversibility: When unsatisfied, filler can be safely dissolved with hyaluronidase
Who Can Have Under-Eye Light Filler?
- Healthy individuals aged 25-65
