In short
Hyaluronic acid filler for hollow under-eyes, at our clinic in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. We soften the hollow that casts a shadow under the eye, with a cautious technique and only when filler is the right answer.
What it is
Tear trough filler treats the hollow that forms between the lower eyelid and the cheek. With age the area loses volume and supporting fat, and the hollow casts a shadow that makes you look tired even after a good night's sleep.
The treatment places small amounts of hyaluronic acid, a substance your body produces naturally, to restore lost support and smooth the transition between eyelid and cheek. The body gradually breaks it down and, if needed, it can be dissolved.
What matters most is knowing which kind of dark circle you have. If the problem is pigmentation, prominent fat pads (eye bags) or loose skin, filler is not the answer, and we will tell you so at your consultation. Treating the under-eye well starts with not treating the ones that do not need it.
Who it's for
The doctor decides whether it is indicated at the consultation.
The process
We tell apart hollowness, pigment, bags and skin quality, because each one is treated differently.
If filler is indicated, we explain what change is realistic and which technique we would use. If not, we suggest the alternative.
Small amounts, placed deep and usually with a cannula, to lower the risk of bruising and irregularities.
At two to three weeks we check how it has settled and refine it if needed.
Real cases
Safety
Mild swelling and small bruises are common in the first few days. The skin under the eye is very thin, so the wrong technique or product can leave irregularities, fluid retention or a visible bluish tint; that is why we use small amounts and products designed for this area. As with any facial filler, there is an uncommon but important risk of affecting a blood vessel, kept to a minimum by a trained doctor. We do not recommend it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active infection in the area, or with very prominent eye bags or very loose skin, where filler can make things look worse.

No. It works for the hollow under-eye, the kind that casts a shadow because volume has been lost. Dark pigment, eye bags and loose skin need other approaches, and at your consultation we tell you which one you have.
Done well, no. The aim is for you to look more rested, not for the area to look filled. That is why we use small amounts and review the result.
We use a topical anaesthetic, and the product itself usually contains a local anaesthetic. Most people describe it as mild discomfort.
Under the eye it tends to last longer than in areas that move a lot, often between nine months and a year, although it depends on the product and the person.
Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an enzyme at the clinic. That is one of the reasons we prefer it in this area.
Generally, yes. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and make-up on the area for the first 24 hours, and bear in mind a small bruise may appear. If you have a flight or an event coming up, tell us when you book so we can plan around it.
