Tired of looking... tired?If dark circles, hollows, or a permanently "exhausted" expression have you reaching for concealer every morning, you’re not alone. Under-eye fillers are one of the fastest-growing treatments at Carisma Aesthetics — and for good reason.
In today’s post, we’ll answer all your burning questions about under-eye fillers so you can decide if it’s the glow-up you’ve been looking for.
What Exactly Are Under-Eye Fillers?
Under-eye fillers are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance in your skin) to plump up the hollow areas beneath the eyes, known as the tear trough.The result? A smoother, brighter, and more youthful under-eye area.
Who’s a Good Candidate for Under-Eye Fillers?
You might benefit from under-eye fillers if:
You have hollow-looking under-eyes (even when well-rested).
Dark circles are caused by volume loss rather than pigmentation.
You want a non-surgical, low-downtime solution.
You’re seeking subtle, natural-looking improvements.
If your dark circles are mostly due to pigmentation (rather than hollowness), other treatments like skin boosters or PRP therapy might be better options — something your aesthetic expert at Carisma Aesthetics can assess during your consultation.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
Quick and easy! The actual injection process takes around 15 to 30 minutes. Including consultation, preparation, and aftercare instructions, you can expect to be in and out within an hour.
Is There Downtime?
Minimal to none.You might experience slight swelling, tenderness, or minor bruising, but most clients resume normal activities the same day.Planning a big event? We recommend booking your treatment at least 2 weeks ahead to allow everything to settle perfectly.
How Long Do Under-Eye Fillers Last?
Results typically last 9 to 12 months, depending on factors like your metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific product used. Many clients love the option of a yearly touch-up to maintain their refreshed look.
Will It Look Natural?
Absolutely — when done by skilled hands. At Carisma Aesthetics, our experienced practitioners specialize in achieving ultra-natural results. We use advanced techniques and premium products to subtly refresh your under-eye area, never overfilling or creating a “puffy” look.
You’ll look like yourself... just well-rested and radiant.
Is It Painful?
Most people find it very tolerable!A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the filler itself often contains a local anesthetic (lidocaine) to minimize discomfort.
You might feel a slight pinch or pressure, but the overall experience is usually quick and easy.
Can Under-Eye Fillers Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Definitely.For even more dramatic rejuvenation, many clients combine tear trough fillers with treatments like:
Botox for crow’s feet
Skin boosters for hydration
PRP therapy to improve skin texture naturally
During your consultation at Carisma Aesthetics, your specialist will help you customize the perfect plan for your goals.
