This treatment is suitable for patients with hollowing or mild to moderate dark circles caused by volume loss. It may not be ideal for those with very thin skin, severe bags, or heavy pigmentation. A consultation is required to confirm suitability.

Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream and local anaesthetic within the filler help minimise discomfort.

Results are visible immediately, though mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually settles within a few days. Final results are best judged after 2 weeks.

Typically 9–12 months, depending on lifestyle, metabolism, and the type of filler used.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. Rare risks include asymmetry, lumpiness, or vascular complications, which your practitioner will discuss during consultation.

Downtime is minimal. You may return to normal activities straight after treatment, but avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and touching the area for 24 hours.

Not always—if your dark circles are caused by pigmentation rather than volume loss, filler may not fully resolve the issue. Alternative or combination treatments may be recommended.

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or supplements that thin the blood (e.g., fish oil, vitamin E) 24–48 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Yes, many patients combine it with cheek filler for optimal support or skin-boosting treatments for improved skin quality.
