The delicate under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of tiredness and ageing. Hollowing, dark shadows, and fine lines can make you look older and more fatigued than you feel. Many people struggle with this concern, and while makeup can disguise it temporarily, it rarely offers a long-term solution.
Traditionally, dermal fillers have been used to add volume to under-eye hollows. While they can be effective, they aren’t always suitable for everyone. This is where biofiller with plasma gel offers a natural, regenerative alternative that is both safe and highly effective.
Understanding the cause before choosing the solution
There are several reasons why you might notice changes under the eyes:
Ageing and collagen loss: As we age, the skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity, making blood vessels more visible and creating a hollow appearance.
Fat redistribution: The natural fat pads in the mid-face shift, leaving depressions under the eyes.
Genetics: Some people are predisposed to deeper tear troughs or darker pigmentation.
Lifestyle factors: Stress, lack of sleep, smoking, or poor diet can worsen the appearance.
Sun damage: UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to thinning skin.
No single factor causes under-eye hollows for everyone, which is why a tailored approach is essential.
The under-eye is a highly delicate region with thin skin, minimal fat, and many blood vessels. This makes it one of the most technically challenging areas to treat. Even experienced practitioners approach it with caution.
Common challenges include:
Thin skin: Injections can show through if the filler isn’t carefully chosen.
Swelling risk: The area can retain fluid, creating puffiness.
Asymmetry: Even small differences in filler placement can be noticeable.
For these reasons, not every treatment option will be right for every individual.
Dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid can be very effective in restoring volume under the eyes, particularly for clients with deep hollows and good skin thickness. In the right candidate, results can be transformative and long-lasting.
However, this treatment is not suitable for everyone. People with very thin skin, a tendency to fluid retention, or only mild hollowing may not achieve the most natural results with traditional filler.
For these clients, plasma gel biofiller offers a safe, natural option that avoids puffiness and improves skin quality over time. Many clients choose plasma gel because it is autologous (from your own plasma) and regenerative, making it an excellent alternative when dermal fillers are not the best choice.
Biofiller with plasma gel offers a solution for clients who want to rejuvenate their under-eye area without synthetic materials. It is created from your own blood using a process that separates and heats the plasma, transforming it into a smooth, gel-like filler.
A small blood sample is taken, just like with a PRP treatment.
The plasma is processed and converted into a gel using controlled heating.
The gel is then injected into the under-eye hollows, restoring volume and smoothing shadows.
Because it is made from your own plasma, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The treatment not only restores volume but also stimulates natural collagen production, improving skin quality over time.
Plasma gel has unique advantages compared to synthetic fillers:
100% natural: Derived from your own blood, reducing risks.
Regenerative effect: Stimulates collagen and elastin for long-term improvement.
Immediate and progressive results: Volume is restored instantly, with skin quality improving in the weeks that follow.
Low risk of swelling: Unlike HA fillers, plasma gel does not draw excess water to the area.
Safe for delicate skin: Particularly suitable for clients with very thin under-eye skin.
Most clients notice a softer, fresher look immediately after treatment. The hollowing is reduced, dark shadows appear less prominent, and the eyes look more awake. Results typically last 6–12 months, with improvements in skin quality continuing as collagen rebuilds.
For some clients, a course of treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal results. Because plasma gel is autologous (from your own body), it can be safely repeated.
Plasma gel biofiller may be ideal if you:
Have hollowing or dark shadows under the eyes.
Want a natural, non-synthetic filler option.
Have thin skin that makes synthetic fillers unsuitable.
Prefer regenerative treatments that improve skin health over time.
Are cautious about filler risks but still want results.
During your consultation at Vie Aesthetics, our medical team will carefully assess your suitability and design a personalised plan.
Both treatments can be effective, but they work differently:
Dermal fillers (HA): Best for areas needing structural support and volume, such as cheeks, lips, and jawline. Long-lasting results but may not suit everyone under the eyes.
Plasma gel biofiller: Best for delicate areas where a natural, regenerative option is preferred. Improves both volume and skin quality, with minimal risk of puffiness.
In some cases, clients may benefit from a combination of both approaches for different facial areas, ensuring the most natural and balanced outcome.
Medical expertise: All treatments are carried out by highly trained professionals under the direction of our Medical Director, Dr Ioannis Liakas.
CQC-accredited clinics: Safety and quality are central to everything we do.
Pioneers in regenerative aesthetics: Alongside plasma gel, we also offer PRP, polynucleotides, and exosome therapies.
Holistic, personalised care: Every treatment plan is bespoke, based on your individual needs and goals.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, where we assess your under-eye area, discuss your options, and ensure you feel fully informed before proceeding.
