Dark circles and puffy under-eyes are more than just cosmetic issues—they can make you look tired, stressed, or older than you actually feel. At Tara Healthcare, Bangalore, many of our patients seek safe, long-lasting solutions for these concerns after trying countless creams or home remedies with little success.
The good news? Modern, non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers and Botox offer quick, effective, and natural-looking results for under-eye hollows, puffiness, and wrinkles.
What Causes Dark Circles and Under-Eye Puffiness?
Dark circles and puffiness can result from several overlapping factors:
- Volume loss in the tear trough area (under-eye hollows)
- Thinning skin revealing underlying blood vessels
- Fat herniation or bulging under the eyes
- Fluid retention due to poor lymphatic drainage
- Chronic allergies or sinus congestion
- Excess screen time, lack of sleep, or stress
- Genetic predisposition or deep-set eyes
At Tara Healthcare, we begin with a thorough consultation and facial assessment to identify the specific cause—because the most effective treatment is always personalized.
Tear Trough Fillers for Dark Circles
If your dark circles are caused by volume loss or shadowing, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can help restore fullness to the under-eye area.
Key Benefits:
✅ Smoothens the hollow between eyelid and cheek
✅ Reduces the depth of shadows and dark circles
✅ Restores volume for a youthful, refreshed look
✅ Brightens and harmonizes the eye area
The results are immediate and typically last 9 to 18 months, depending on the product used and your individual skin response.
Botox for Puffy Eyes and Fine Lines
Botox is often used in combination with fillers to address issues caused by muscle tension, such as:
✅ Crow’s feet (fine lines around the outer eye)
✅ Mild puffiness or bulging from dynamic muscle activity
✅ A “tired” or drawn-down eye appearance
Botox works by relaxing targeted muscles, softening lines and giving the eyes a more rested, awake appearance. Full results appear within 3–7 days and last around 3–4 months.
Are These Treatments Safe?
Yes—when performed by a qualified aesthetic dermatologist. The under-eye region is delicate and requires precise technique, understanding of facial anatomy, and high-quality products.
At Tara Healthcare, all treatments are performed by Dr. Rutuja Arali, using:
- Blunt-tip microcannulas to reduce bruising
- FDA-approved dermal fillers and Botox
- Anatomy-based injection planning
- A conservative, natural-results-driven approach
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will I look unnatural after fillers?
A. No. When done by an experienced professional, the results are subtle and natural. You’ll simply look fresher and less tired.
Q. How long do tear trough fillers last?
A. Typically 9 to 18 months, depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and the filler used.
Q. Can Botox completely eliminate under-eye bags?
A. Botox helps reduce puffiness caused by muscle activity, but not severe fat herniation. In such cases, a surgical option like lower blepharoplasty may be recommended.
Q. Is there any downtime after fillers or Botox?
A. Minimal downtime. You may experience slight swelling or bruising for 1–3 days. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
Q. Are these treatments suitable for all skin tones?
A. Yes. Dermal fillers and Botox are safe for all skin types and tones, when administered by a qualified practitioner.
Q. What if I have pigmentation under my eyes?
A. If your dark circles are due to pigmentation (not volume loss), chemical peels, laser treatments, or topical skincare may be more effective. Dr. Rutuja will guide you based on your skin type.
Q. Can I combine this with other skin treatments?
A. Absolutely. Many patients combine under-eye treatments with PRP therapy, microneedling, or laser resurfacing for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
