Under-eye assessment

The under-eye area is delicate, and it’s one of the places where we’re most careful about saying yes. Your nurse assesses it in person, and the honest answer might be filler, a different approach or no treatment at all.

What to expect

01 · CONSULTYour nurse looks at the skin, the shape under your eyes and how it changes in different light. Not everyone is a candidate, and that’s said plainly.
02 · NUMBIf treatment goes ahead, we use numbing cream, and the filler contains a local anaesthetic.
03 · TREATUsually 30 to 45 minutes. Some people are treated the same day as their consult, others are asked to wait or try something else first.
04 · AFTERCARESwelling and bruising here can be more noticeable and may last longer than in other areas. Cool compresses and sleeping slightly propped up can help.

Good to know

Who it suits

Some adults with a hollow or shadowed look under the eyes may be candidates. It depends on the skin, the bone structure underneath and whether there’s puffiness.

If puffiness, fluid or skin quality is the main issue, filler can make things look worse. Your nurse may suggest a different approach, such as skin treatments, or no treatment at all.

Before your visit

Come without eye makeup if you can, so your nurse can see the skin clearly. Our skin check comes first for every new client.

Tell us about allergies, eye conditions, recent eye surgery and any past treatment in the area.

The first two weeks

Bruising and swelling under the eyes are common and can take a while to settle. Avoid rubbing your eyes and skip strenuous exercise for a day or two.

We’ll usually want to see you at around two weeks. Call us sooner if anything feels wrong, especially any change in your vision.

Risks, plainly

Swelling, bruising, tenderness and redness are common, and they can be more visible under the eyes than elsewhere. Some people get lasting puffiness, small lumps or a bluish tinge where filler sits close to the surface. Your nurse reviews all risks at your consult.

Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel. Signs include severe or increasing pain, skin turning pale, dusky or blotchy, or any change in your vision. If you notice any of these, call us at 416 537 3333 right away, or go to the nearest emergency department if you can’t reach us.

Questions

Your questions

How much does under-eye treatment cost?

It starts at $850, plus HST, and only if you’re a suitable candidate. Consultations are often complimentary, so the assessment is a good first step either way.

Am I a candidate for under-eye filler?

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on your skin, the structure under your eyes and whether puffiness is part of the picture. Your nurse will tell you honestly, and sometimes the answer is no.

What else might the nurse suggest?

It could be a skin treatment, a different area (sometimes the cheek affects how the under-eye looks) or simply leaving it alone. We’d rather say that than treat an area that won’t suit you.

How long do results last?

When it’s suitable, it often lasts somewhere around 9 to 12 months, sometimes longer. Results vary a lot in this area.

Does it hurt?

Most people feel pressure and some pinching. We use numbing cream, and the filler contains a local anaesthetic. It’s a sensitive spot, so we go slowly.

What’s the downtime?

Swelling and bruising are common, and under the eyes they can be more noticeable and last longer than elsewhere. Plan for at least a week before anything important.

Who does the assessment and treatment?

Nurse Jade or Nurse Tammy, our Registered Nurses, who work under the orders of our medical director. They’ll see you for the consult and any follow-up.

If I’m suitable, how much would I get the first time?

A small amount. This area needs a light hand, and we’d rather review at two weeks than overdo it.

Can it be dissolved?

Hyaluronic acid filler can usually be broken down with an enzyme injection if needed. Your nurse would assess you before suggesting it.

Can I combine it with other areas?

Sometimes, but under-eye treatment is often done on its own or after another area has settled. Your nurse will plan the order with you.

Is there a deposit?

Yes, a $50 deposit when you book, credited to your appointment. New clients get $50 toward your first treatment of $200 or more within 30 days, one per client.

Where do I find you?

2310 Bloor St W in Bloor West Village, about a two-minute walk from Runnymede station on Line 2. We’re open Tuesday to Saturday. Call 416 537 3333.
