Many people may find themselves with dark circles or hollows below the lower
eyelids. The hollowing effect can produce the illusion of darkening around the
eyes. This hollow is referred to as a tear-trough deformity. When tear trough
deformities are present without sagging skin, an injectable filler can be used
to correct them. A simple, physician-administered injection targets the flaws.
It works by attracting water to the surrounding collagen fibers, resulting in
tissue plumping. This effect can last from six months to a year, and then it has
to be repeated to maintain the volume that leads to a more youthful appearance.
