Hollow under-eyes, dark circles, and a fatigued appearance are among the most common aesthetic concerns faced by individuals of all ages. While lifestyle and genetics contribute to these signs, volume loss in the tear trough area often plays a major role. In recent years, hyaluronic acid injection for under eyes has gained popularity as a minimally invasive, safe, and effective approach to restore youthful vitality to the eye area. Next, we will explore the science, costs, and practical considerations of under-eye HA injections.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in connective tissue, known for its remarkable capacity to retain moisture. In dermal fillers, it is used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve hydration in targeted areas of the face.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are commonly applied to the following regions:
Nasolabial folds
Lips
Cheeks
Chin and jawline
Marionette lines
Tear troughs (under-eye area)
Among these, hyaluronic acid injection under eyes offers a unique ability to soften hollowness, reduce the appearance of dark circles, and rejuvenate tired-looking eyes without surgery.
The tear trough region is thin and delicate, making it prone to volume loss and shadowing. HA fillers can safely and precisely replenish lost volume, supporting the under-eye area while maintaining a natural look.
The hyaluronic acid injections under eyes cost can vary significantly depending on factors such as practitioner expertise, clinic location, and the quality of the filler used. In general, a single session may require 0.5 to 1 ml of filler. It's worth noting that high-quality products like Aqua Secret® VOLUME offer excellent performance with cost-effective value, especially for clinics or professionals seeking bulk purchasing options.

The Injection Process
1. Cleansing: The skin around the eye is gently cleansed with antiseptic solution.
2. Anesthesia (if needed): A topical numbing cream or mild local anesthetic may be applied.
3. Injection: Using a fine needle or blunt-tip cannula, the practitioner delivers small amounts of HA into the tear trough area.
4. Shaping: Gentle massage may be used to mold the filler into a smooth contour.
5. Assessment: Final symmetry and volume are evaluated; minor touch-ups may be performed.
Note: Due to its smooth texture and structural resilience, Aqua Secret® VOLUME is particularly well-suited for achieving natural, uniform correction in the under-eye region.
Post-Treatment Care
· Apply cold compresses to minimize swelling
· Avoid strenuous activity, excessive heat, or alcohol for 24 hours
