Under-Eye Dark Circles Treatment

The under-eye hollow — medically termed the tear trough — is a concave depression that runs from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek. It forms because of a combination of factors: the skin and fat pad in this area are naturally thin, the orbicularis oculi muscle edge creates a structural ridge, and with age the malar fat pad descends while the orbital rim bone remodels slightly. The resulting shadow gives the face a tired or hollow look that…

Hyaluronic acid filler placed precisely in the tear trough fills this hollow from below, projecting the tissue forward so the shadow disappears. The key technical challenge is depth of placement: too superficial and the filler becomes visible as a bluish tinge (Tyndall effect); too deep and the risk of vascular complications increases. This is why at Estetik Point the tear trough procedure is performed only by a board-certified physician using a fine…

Local anaesthetic cream is applied before the session to make the area comfortable. The treating physician first assesses whether the hollowing is primarily from volume loss (which HA filler addresses well) or from puffiness (under-eye bags caused by fat herniation, which may require a different approach such as lower blepharoplasty). For appropriate candidates, filler is the safest and most reversible option, with the added benefit that hyaluronidase can…
