What Is Under-Eye Light Filler?

Under-eye hollows are characterized by dark circles, deep indentations, and a tired appearance. This skin anomaly is medically referred to as the “tear trough.” Because the skin around your eyes is thinner and paler, and due to the lack of proper fat pads, your eyes may appear more tired and older.

The procedure can take about 30 minutes and costs between $800 and $1,000 per syringe, with effects lasting up to nine months.

Dr. Farber explains, “People generally need one syringe under each eye, but depending on the anatomy and the severity of the indentation, some may require two syringes.”
