Hyaluronic acid is one of the most versatile and widely used substances in aesthetic medicine today. If you’ve noticed that your gaze has changed, appears tired, dull, and has dark shadows under your eyelids, this substance offers the solution to this situation.
The hyaluronic acid filler for under-eye bags is a non-surgical treatment that will restore freshness and luminosity to your gaze. You’ll see results immediately and can enjoy its benefits for up to 24 months; the price will depend on what you need as a patient.
What is hyaluronic acid filler for under-eye bags?
Hyaluronic acid for under-eye bags is a minimally invasive aesthetic medicine procedure that involves injecting this substance in the periocular area, specifically infiltrating the lacrimal sulcus (the groove under the eye) to restore volume, eliminate dark shadows and tired or aged appearance of the gaze.
It is also a powerful skin hydrator, stimulates collagen production and restores elasticity.
What types of under-eye bags does it work for? (and which ones it doesn’t)
Hyaluronic acid infiltration is indicated for sunken under-eye bags, which form a kind of groove between the eyelid and cheek due to loss of volume in the eye area. It’s also ideal for people with extremely thin skin around the eyes. When injected, it thickens the skin and corrects that appearance.
This treatment is contraindicated for people who have pigmented under-eye bags as a result of melanin production; they have a brown or black appearance. It doesn’t work for under-eye bags that turn blue or purple either, as that results from vascular problems, and for under-eye bags with fat deposits, introducing the substance will worsen this condition.
How is the treatment done step by step?
The treatment is completed in few steps, is performed on an outpatient basis and is not painful. Here are the steps for hyaluronic acid filler for under-eye bags:
- Medical evaluation and assessment: the specialist performs a thorough examination of the face, analyzes skin type and evaluates the lacrimal sulcus. Defines the objective: filling, contouring, hydration or volume restoration.
- Skin preparation and marking: a deep cleanse of the facial skin is performed and the specialist marks the points to be infiltrated.
- Hyaluronic acid infiltration: through very fine needles or microcannulas, the substance is injected at the previously marked points, allowing uniform distribution of the polysaccharide. It is done with care and precision to obtain balanced results.
- Massage and modeling: the specialist applies light and gentle massages to the area to help uniform distribution of the substance and prevent lumps from forming.

Under-eye bag filler vs. blepharoplasty: which do I need?
Although both procedures aim to improve the appearance of the eyes and rejuvenate the gaze, they are different. The objective of hyaluronic acid filler is to eliminate under-eye bags that form dark shadows, while blepharoplasty is a surgical technique by which excess skin on the lower and upper eyelids is removed, correcting drooping eyelids and refreshing the gaze.
