Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Dark Circles in Saint-Louis (near Basel, Weil am Rhein, Lörrach, Freiburg)
Under-eye dark circles can make you look tired, even when you are well rested. Over time, volume loss under the eyes creates shadows that deepen the appearance of fatigue and aging.
At Biolaser Medical Center, located in Saint-Louis, near Basel, Weil am Rhein, Lörrach, and Freiburg im Breisgau, we perform hyaluronic acid injections for under-eye circles to restore volume and brighten the eye area — always with a natural, subtle result.
Why do dark circles appear?
Dark circles can have different causes, and identifying the type is essential to choosing the right treatment.
Different types of dark circles
There are three main types:
- Hollow dark circles: caused by volume loss under the eyes (ideal indication for hyaluronic acid injections)
- Pigmented dark circles: brown discoloration related to skin pigmentation
- Vascular dark circles: bluish or purplish tone due to blood circulation and thin skin
In most cases, patients seeking treatment actually have under-eye hollows, which respond very well to injections.
Why do under-eye hollows worsen with age?
As we age:
- facial fat gradually decreases
- skin becomes thinner
- bone structure subtly changes
This leads to the formation of the tear trough, a hollow that creates a shadow under the eyes and contributes to a tired appearance.
Hyaluronic acid injections: an effective solution for under-eye hollows
Hyaluronic acid injections for dark circles are a non-surgical treatment designed to restore lost volume and smooth the under-eye area.
How does the treatment work?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body. When injected under the eyes, it helps to:
- fill the hollow area
- smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
- reduce the shadow effect
This delicate procedure requires a high level of expertise and precision. Since hyaluronic acid is primarily a dermal filler, it can only be injected into hollow under-eye circles. Injections thus rejuvenate the eyes by filling these hollows. For a more comprehensive anti-aging effect, hyaluronic acid injections can be extended to the tear troughs and cheekbones. The cosmetic physician can then rely on MD Codes to create a personalized treatment plan.
What results can you expect?
After under-eye filler injections, patients typically notice:
- a more refreshed appearance
- visible reduction of dark circles
- a natural result without overcorrection
The goal is always to enhance the eye area without altering facial expression.
It is important to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Thanacody so that he can analyze your skin and your needs. Afterwards, the session consists of the injection of a small dose of low cross-linked hyaluronic acid. The procedure takes an average of 15 to 30 minutes.
Who is a good candidate for under-eye injections?
This treatment is ideal for patients with:
- hollow under-eye circles
- a tired look despite adequate rest
- mild to moderate volume loss
However, it may not be suitable for:
- under-eye bags (fat pads)
- significant skin laxity
- primarily pigmented dark circles
A personalized consultation is essential to determine the best approach.
How does a dark circle injection session work?
Before the procedure
During your consultation at Biolaser in Saint-Louis, the practitioner evaluates:
- the type of dark circles
- skin quality
- facial volume distribution
A customized treatment plan is then established.
During the procedure
The session typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes. Injections are performed using a fine needle or cannula to ensure precision and safety.
The procedure is generally well tolerated and requires no downtime.
After the procedure
Following under-eye injections:
- normal activities can be resumed immediately
- mild swelling or bruising may occur
- results improve over a few days
Results: before and after under-eye injections
Results are visible immediately and continue to improve in the following days.
Patients usually notice:
- a brighter eye area
- reduced shadowing
- an overall rejuvenated look
Results typically last between 12 and 18 months.
