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. If you’re looking for a permanent and non-surgical method for “refreshing, bright gazes,” Under-Eye Light Filler is perfect for you! 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
  • Those experiencing under-eye darkness and hollow problems
  • Those with fine wrinkles and sagging tendency
  • Those avoiding surgical intervention
  • Those wanting to return to social life quickly

Note: If you have pregnancy/breastfeeding, active under-eye infection, or allergy to hyaluronic acid, get doctor approval before the procedure.
