What are under-eye hollows?

What are under-eye fillers?
Under-eye fillers are injectable treatments of hyaluronic acid, stimulating the appearance of thicker fat pads under the skin. The most common brand names are Beloter, Restylane and Juvederm.

People typically need one syringe under the eyes, but depending on anatomy and the degree of hollowing, people may need two syringes.
Why get under-eye fillers?
Fillers work as a way to replace lost volume to make areas of the face, including the under eyes, look more youthful and help get rid of those dark circles. They are helpful for anyone with darker circles or loss of fat in the tear troughs/under-eye area to help produce a more naturally rested appearance.
What are eye fillers made of?
Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid. This is normally found in the skin’s dermis, and with normal aging the skin loses some of this good stuff, causing hollowing in areas where it’s not desired. A benefit of hyaluronic acid in filler is it helps pull water for additional plumping power, so it is helpful for creating a natural look and improving the longevity of your filler.
