Understand the starting point.
A shadow, hollow or puffiness can look similar but need different assessment. The cheek and lower-eyelid transition belong in the same conversation.

A fresher look.
Still your eyes.
Explore under-eye filler in Bangkok with MICHIKO. We start by understanding hollows, shadows and puffiness, then discuss whether HA filler has a role in your care.
THE MICHIKO APPROACH
Look beyond
the dark circle.
A tired-looking eye area can involve more than one concern. Describe what you notice in different light, whether it changes through the day and any treatment you have had. The consultation should distinguish colour, contour and swelling before considering filler.

YOUR PERSONAL PLANA CLIENT’S TREATMENT JOURNEY
An under-eye area that looks less tired.
MICHIKO considered the under-eye hollows together with the support around them. This 4 cc facial and under-eye filler plan softened the transition beneath the eyes, helping the eye area sit more smoothly within the face.

What would you like
to explore?
Choose the concern closest to yours. These are starting points for a consultation, not a diagnosis.
01
“I look tired, even when rested.”
Describe the hollow or shadow you see and when it is most noticeable. Your doctor assesses the lower eyelid and cheek together before discussing whether filler is appropriate.
Understand your options
02
“The colour is what bothers me.”
Point out the colour or texture you want to discuss. Filler is not an automatic answer to every dark circle; your doctor may suggest another area of care.
Understand your options
03
“It looks fuller than I would like.”
Mention puffiness, lumps and any previous injections before considering more filler. Bring product names and dates if you have them.

A little understanding.
A clearer starting point.
01 / 06 · Under Eye Filler
What is under-eye filler?
Under-eye filler is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel used to soften selected hollows beneath the eyes.
It can improve the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek when volume loss is part of the concern.
At MICHIKO in Bangkok, the starting point is understanding whether you are seeing a hollow, pigmentation, puffiness or a combination.
02 / 06 · Under Eye Filler
Why do eyes look tired?
Assessment considers five contributing factors: inherited anatomy and pigmentation, allergies and rubbing, irritation when removing makeup, age-related changes in bone and fat support, and visible vessels associated with inadequate rest.
These causes need different care.
More filler is not the answer to every dark circle.
The tissues beneath the under-eye area
The illustration places the under-eye concern in the context of skin and supporting layers. Hollowness, pigment, puffiness and muscle prominence do not have the same cause, so adding volume is not the answer to every dark-circle concern.
View original graphic at full size03 / 06 · Under Eye Filler
Hollows, colour and skin are different concerns.
A structural hollow can cast a shadow even when you have slept well.
Pigmentation, irritation and thin skin can also create darkness.
Filler may soften a contour-related shadow, but it does not remove pigment or treat an allergy.
Your plan may instead include skin care, managing irritation or another treatment.
04 / 06 · Under Eye Filler
Who should consider an assessment?
An assessment can help if you notice a persistent hollow, a visible break between the eye and cheek, or a tired appearance linked to lost support.
Bring details of any previous filler, surgery, allergies and recurring swelling.
Pregnancy, active infection, previous reactions and unknown injected materials can change whether treatment should proceed.
05 / 06 · Under Eye Filler
What about eye bags or lumps?
Eye bags, fluid retention and a hollow can exist together.
Adding volume may make some kinds of puffiness more noticeable.
A doctor should distinguish natural muscle movement from a lump related to previous filler before recommending more treatment.
Significant bags or loose skin may require a surgical opinion.
06 / 06 · Under Eye Filler
Filler, fat transfer or surgery?
These options address different problems.
HA filler adds temporary volume; fat transfer uses your own tissue and involves a donor area; eyelid surgery may address excess skin or prominent fat bags.
All have risks.
The appropriate choice depends on the diagnosis, previous procedures and the change you want, rather than a fixed amount of filler.
MICHIKO · WATCH & UNDERSTAND
Understanding under-eye filler with MICHIKO
Watch the clinic’s video, then bring your questions to the medical team. Individual experiences do not predict your own result.
YOUR CARE, AT A GLANCE
Before your visit.
After your treatment.
The clinic’s preparation and aftercare guidance, made easier to follow. Your treating doctor may adapt these instructions for you.
Review medicines and supplements
Tell the doctor about aspirin, anti-inflammatory medicines, blood thinners, fish oil, vitamin E and herbal supplements. The clinic’s guide asks patients to review these ahead of treatment. Do not stop prescribed medicine without your prescriber’s advice.
Share your health history
Bring details of regular medicines, allergies, illness, previous injections and implants. Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection or a history of cold sores.
Plan a quiet day
The clinic advises avoiding alcohol for 24 hours before treatment. Arrive with a clean face and allow time to discuss your questions, product choice, cost and follow-up.
Let the area settle
Swelling and bruising can occur. Use a gently applied, cloth-wrapped cool compress as advised by your clinician. Do not apply ice directly or press hard. Contact the clinic if swelling, redness or pain is increasing.
Protect the treated area
Avoid impact and strong pressure on the area. Follow the doctor’s advice about facial movement and exercise.
Pause facial treatments
The clinic advises pausing facial massage, scrubs and facial treatments for at least two weeks. Check with the treating doctor before scheduling another procedure.
Check heat-based treatments
Discuss the timing of facial lasers, steam rooms, saunas and hot baths before treatment. A 2–4 week interval may be advised for some activities; your clinician should specify which restrictions apply to your product and planned procedures.
Know what to watch for
The clinic’s guide advises avoiding alcohol for two weeks, or at least 48 hours. It also lists raw and fermented foods as clinic-specific restrictions. Follow your personalised instructions. Severe unusual pain, vision changes or pale/dusky skin require immediate medical attention.

The concern. The cause. The possibilities.
For the layer-by-layer illustration, read the explanation in Understand your options.
A hollow, dark colour and a bag are different concerns
Under-eye darkness can involve pigmentation, thin skin, visible vessels or a shadow from a hollow. A bag or tendency to fluid retention adds another consideration. Filler may address selected hollows but does not treat every cause of darkness or remove a bag.
Tell the doctor about morning puffiness, previous filler and any surgery. Product selection, tissue thickness and midface support matter; adding volume to an already swollen area may worsen its appearance.
Under Eye Filler
Explore your options
The right role for each approach.
Filler, fat transfer or lower-eyelid surgery?
A hollow, a protruding fat pad and dark pigmentation can each create a tired appearance. HA filler may suit a selected hollow but does not remove excess skin or a prominent fat bag. Fat transfer uses your own tissue and involves harvesting, with different recovery and variability. Surgery may be more relevant for a significant fat bag or excess skin. None is universally safer for every patient.
A roll that appears beneath the eye when smiling can involve the eyelid muscle rather than a missing volume. Filling it without assessing movement can increase puffiness. Discuss the cause before deciding on the method.
Under Eye Filler
Prepare & recover
Know what comes before and after.
How should I prepare for under eye filler?
Bring previous treatment dates, products and photographs if available. Tell the doctor about medicines, supplements, allergies, medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any infection or irritation near the area. Ask about the intended product, alternatives, cost and follow-up before consenting.
Some medicines and supplements can affect bruising or bleeding. Do not stop prescribed medicines yourself; any change should be agreed with the prescribing clinician. Ask the clinic about alcohol, exercise and other preparations relevant to your appointment.

- 03Questions, goals & timing
- 04Agree the plan before deciding
What should I do after filler?
Follow your treating doctor’s instructions for skin care, activity, pressure on the area and the timing of other procedures. Mild swelling, tenderness or bruising can happen. Avoid firm massage unless the clinician specifically advises it, and ask how and when to use a cool compress.
Contact the clinic for increasing swelling, persistent pain, redness, warmth or a new lump. Severe unusual pain, pale or dusky skin, or vision changes need immediate medical attention. Keep the urgent contact details and attend the agreed follow-up; an early swollen photograph is not the final result.
Product choice, swelling and the review visit.
Thin under-eye skin makes gel properties and placement particularly important. The proposed HA model should be discussed in terms of tissue integration and swelling tendency, rather than brand alone. Longevity varies with product, anatomy and previous treatment; a persistent bulge is not evidence that another syringe is needed.
Early swelling can settle, but persistent, recurrent or asymmetric puffiness needs examination. The doctor may assess the cheek transition, existing filler or other causes before discussing observation, dissolving HA or another approach. Severe pain, skin colour change or visual symptoms require urgent medical care.

WHY MICHIKO
Why MICHIKO for Under Eye Filler?
Dr. Gift and the MICHIKO medical team assess under-eye hollows, skin, puffiness and cheek support together. Your previous treatments and the way your eyes move when you smile are part of that discussion.
An individual assessment
Bring your story. Ask how the proposed plan relates to your own starting point.
Decisions you understand
Discuss alternatives, limits and follow-up with the medical team.
BEFORE YOU VISIT
Your questions.
Room for clear answers.
Will filler remove every dark circle?
No. Colour, hollows and puffiness can require different approaches. Your doctor should explain which part of your concern the proposed plan addresses.
What if I already have bags or swelling?
Arrange an assessment before considering additional filler. Describe when the swelling appears, any changes and your treatment history.
How long does under-eye filler last?
A broad 6–18 month range may be discussed. Actual persistence varies by product, location and individual response, and filler can remain longer than expected. Ask your doctor when to review the area rather than scheduling an automatic top-up.
Which filler is right for the under eyes?
There is no single product for every under-eye concern. Support in deeper hollows is different from superficial skin concerns. The doctor should explain why the proposed product and amount suit your tissue and treatment history.
How is the amount and cost decided?
The plan follows your assessment. Ask for the product, proposed amount, total cost and any follow-up charges before agreeing to treatment.
Will I need time to recover?
Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur. Ask your doctor about recovery for your particular plan and leave flexibility around important events.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Bring your questions, medical and allergy history, medicines and supplements, and details of previous procedures. Do not change prescribed medicines without advice from your prescribing clinician.
Is under-eye filler painful?
Needle entry, pressure and tenderness can be uncomfortable. The clinic discusses anaesthetic options before treatment; numbing does not remove every sensation or risk. Tell the doctor if you experience unexpected or severe pain.
Are the case photos a promise of my result?
No. They show individual experiences. Starting anatomy, treatment history and the agreed plan differ from person to person.
