Even with enough rest, many people struggle with under eye bags, hollows, dark circles, and early wrinkles that make them look more fatigued than they feel. At Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute, our expert aesthetic injectors offer precise, natural-looking under eye dermal filler treatments that can rejuvenate this delicate area and restore a well-rested appearance.
Why the Eye Area Ages So Quickly
The skin around your eyes is among the thinnest on your body, which makes it especially vulnerable to signs of aging. Over time, you may notice hollowness beneath your eyes, puffiness, fine lines, or shadowing—all of which can create a tired or prematurely aged look.
These changes often result from a combination of factors, including natural volume loss, shifting fat pads, genetics, skin dehydration, and the sun exposure that comes with Arizona living. As volume fades and tissues lose their support, the transition between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek becomes more pronounced, drawing attention to the area and exaggerating shadows and lines.
How Dermal Fillers Improve the Under Eye Area
Dermal fillers are an effective, nonsurgical way to restore lost volume and smooth the contour beneath your eyes. When precisely placed, fillers can improve the appearance of tear troughs, smooth bags, reduce shadows, and soften lines.
Under eye filler is especially helpful for concerns such as:
- A sunken or hollow appearance beneath the eyes
- Dark shadows from bags
- A harsh or deep tear trough line
- Wrinkles just below the lower lids
- A tired look that doesn’t reflect how you feel
These subtle improvements can have a significant impact on your overall appearance, helping you look refreshed and more vibrant—often after a single appointment with little to no downtime.
What Types of Fillers Are Used Under the Eyes?
The under-eye area requires a meticulous approach, which is why our injectors choose soft, smooth hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers specifically designed for delicate facial areas. HA fillers are popular because they are reversible, hydrating, and easy to sculpt for natural-looking results.
Depending on your unique anatomy and goals, we may recommend JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, or the RHA® Collection. These fillers are known for their smooth consistency and ability to blend seamlessly with your natural tissue. The product choice will depend on your skin’s thickness, the depth of the injection, and how well the area supports filler placement.

Why Experience Matters With Under Eye Injections
Under eye fillers require a high level of skill, precision, and aesthetic judgment. It’s one of the most technically demanding areas to treat with dermal fillers, and natural-looking results depend on both product selection and expert placement.
At the Advanced Skin Lounge by Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute, our aesthetic team includes highly trained injectors who specialize in cosmetic treatments like under-eye fillers. One of our providers, Krista Arredondo, brings a particularly deep level of expertise to the role. In addition to treating patients, she is a trainer and speaker for Allergan—the maker of JUVÉDERM and BOTOX®—educating other providers on safe, effective injection techniques.
This kind of leadership in the industry ensures that our team stays at the forefront of nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. Every provider at our med spa is chosen for their experience, advanced training, and commitment to personalized, natural results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Under Eye Fillers?
If you’ve started noticing that your eyes look hollow or tired no matter how much sleep you get, under eye fillers may be a good option for you. These treatments work best for patients who want subtle, nonsurgical improvement and understand the importance of realistic expectations.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate volume loss beneath the eyes
- Notice a visible tear trough that casts a shadow
- Have relatively good skin elasticity
- Are not dealing with prominent fat pads or significant under eye puffiness
During your consultation, your injector will evaluate your facial anatomy and skin quality to determine whether under eye fillers are the best approach—or if lower blepharoplasty may be more appropriate.
What To Expect From Treatment and Recovery
Under eye filler treatments are performed in our office and typically take less than 30 minutes. Most patients describe the process as quick and tolerable.
Mild swelling or bruising is normal for a few days after treatment. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity immediately following your appointment, but most people return to normal routines immediately.
You’ll begin to see results within a few days, with full effects settling in after 1 to 2 weeks. Depending on the product used and how your body metabolizes it, results may last anywhere from 6 months to a year or longer. Regular touch-ups will help you maintain your results in the long term.
