The delicate skin under your eyes is often the first place to show signs of aging. Fine lines, creases, and puffiness can develop early, making you look tired even when you’re well-rested.
But if you’ve been wondering whether under-eye wrinkles can actually be reversed, the answer is: yes, to a degree—with the right treatment plan and some help from medical-grade skincare and professional cosmetic procedures.
At True Jewel Cosmetic Center, we specialize in a wide range of non-surgical treatments that help soften and improve the look of under-eye wrinkles. While at-home habits can support healthy skin, under-eye fillers can create real, lasting changes when volume loss is the cause of your tired or aging appearance.
What Causes Under Eye Wrinkles?
Under-eye wrinkles are a normal part of the aging process. The skin under your eyes is much thinner than the rest of your face, making it more prone to creasing, sagging, and showing signs of fatigue.
Some of the most common causes of under-eye wrinkles include:
1. Natural Aging
As you age, your skin produces less collagen and elastin—the two proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. This decline causes the skin to become thinner and looser, making it more vulnerable to wrinkles.
2. Sun Exposure
UV radiation breaks down collagen over time. Even a few minutes of sun exposure without protection can speed up the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet around the eyes.
3. Facial Expressions
Smiling, squinting, and frowning are all part of natural facial movement, but over the years, these repeated expressions can leave fine lines behind—especially when the skin becomes less elastic with age.
4. Lack of Sleep
When you don’t get enough rest, your skin’s ability to repair itself slows down. This contributes to dullness, dark circles, and the early development of wrinkles under the eyes.
5. Dehydration
Dry or dehydrated skin is more likely to develop lines. The thin skin around the eyes lacks oil glands, making it especially prone to dryness.
6. Genetics
Your family history plays a big role in how your skin ages. If your parents developed wrinkles early or had under-eye bags, you may be more prone to the same.
Can You Prevent or Reverse Under Eye Wrinkles at Home?
While you can’t stop aging, there are several things you can do to minimize and manage under-eye wrinkles without leaving home. These at-home strategies won’t fully reverse deeper lines, but they can help slow progression and improve your skin’s overall appearance.
Use a Targeted Eye Cream
Look for products with ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, peptides, or vitamin C. These ingredients help improve elasticity, hydrate the skin, and stimulate collagen production over time.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating moisturizer daily. A lack of moisture makes wrinkles more visible, so keeping the area hydrated is one of the simplest ways to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Apply Sunscreen Every Day
Even if you’re just running errands, wear a broad-spectrum SPF around the eyes. Many people skip sunscreen in this area, but it’s crucial for preserving collagen and preventing new wrinkles.
Use Gentle Pressure
The under-eye area is fragile. When applying makeup or skincare, always use your ring finger to apply light pressure. Rubbing or tugging the skin can accelerate aging.
Prioritize Sleep and Nutrition
Getting consistent, high-quality rest and eating a diet rich in antioxidants can help your skin repair and regenerate naturally.
While these steps are useful, they may not be enough to reverse established wrinkles or volume loss. That’s where under-eye fillers come in.
How Under Eye Filler Helps Restore a Youthful Look
When wrinkles and hollows under the eyes are caused by volume loss—rather than just skin surface aging—fillers can offer a powerful, non-surgical solution. These injectables add subtle fullness beneath the skin, smooth out creases, and brighten dark circles.
At True Jewel Cosmetic Center, we offer three advanced filler options for under-eye rejuvenation:
1. Restylane-L
A soft, flexible hyaluronic acid filler ideal for delicate areas like the under eyes. It restores lost volume while creating a smooth, natural appearance. Restylane-L also contains lidocaine to reduce discomfort during injection.
2. Juvederm Volbella
Part of the Juvederm family, Volbella has a silky, lightweight texture that works beautifully for treating tear troughs. It adds subtle plumpness and is especially effective for fine lines and shallow hollows.
3. Restylane Eyelight
Designed specifically for the under-eye area, Restylane Eyelight uses stabilized hyaluronic acid to lift and smooth the skin. It reduces dark circles and under-eye shadows, creating a brighter, more refreshed look.
What Happens During an Under Eye Filler Treatment?
An under-eye filler session at True Jewel is a quick, low-downtime procedure. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation
Your visit begins with a thorough consultation. We’ll assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine which filler is best suited to your goals.
Treatment
After cleansing the area, a numbing cream may be applied. Using a fine needle or cannula, your provider carefully injects the filler into the tear trough or surrounding area. The process usually takes about 15–30 minutes.
Results
You may see improvement immediately after the treatment, but full results appear over the next few days as swelling subsides and the filler settles. Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the product and your body’s natural metabolism.
Are There Any Risks?
Under-eye fillers are considered safe when performed by experienced providers. At True Jewel, all treatments are done by highly trained professionals using FDA-approved products in a clean, clinical setting.
Some mild, temporary side effects may include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness or tenderness
These typically resolve within a few days. Following all aftercare instructions—such as avoiding intense exercise and limiting alcohol—can help minimize side effects.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Under Eye Fillers?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have dark circles or hollowness under your eyes
- Notice fine lines or early wrinkles in the area
- Look tired even when well-rested
- Are in good overall health
- Do not have active infections, severe allergies, or certain medical conditions
Fillers may not be ideal if your under-eye concerns are due primarily to excess skin rather than volume loss. In that case, other procedures—such as laser treatments or skin tightening—may be more effective. A consultation with our team can help determine the right plan for you.

While no treatment can stop time, under-eye wrinkles can absolutely be softened, improved, and even reversed with the right care. Starting with small daily habits and combining them with professional treatment—like under-eye fillers—can bring noticeable and lasting results.

Under-Eye Wrinkle FAQs
How long do under-eye fillers last?
Most under-eye fillers last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used and how your body metabolizes hyaluronic acid.
Is there any downtime after filler?
There’s minimal downtime. You may experience light swelling or bruising, but most people resume normal activities the same day.
Will fillers get rid of all my wrinkles?
Fillers are great for treating volume loss and softening fine lines. For deeper wrinkles or excess skin, other treatments may be recommended.

Discomfort is minimal. Most fillers contain lidocaine, and we use numbing cream to make the experience comfortable.
