Your eyes play a major role in your appearance and are known as the mirror of your soul. It is therefore not surprising that they are often the first thing you look at. Unfortunately, hollow or deep-set eyes can give a tired and aged appearance. During the aging process, our subcutaneous fat tissue decreases, which can cause sunken eyes as we age. Hollow eyes can also be naturally present at a younger age. This can make you appear older than you actually are, for example. Because every face is unique, treatment will also be tailored specifically to it. We therefore recommend that you make an appointment for a free consultation, so we can work with you to create a customized treatment plan.

At the reception at one of our clinics in Rotterdam, The Hague or Nijmegen, we will have an introductory talk and take pictures of your face to see the results before and after treatment. In a filler treatment for deep-set eyes, we use ultra-thin cannulas. A cannula is a needle with a more blunt tip, which allows for less swelling. Treatment with a cannula is virtually painless and also ensures a quick recovery! By using filler, your sunken eyes are filled in, so to speak, giving you a fresh and younger look.
After a filler treatment against hollow or sunken eyes you will need little or no recovery time, this often depends on the individual and can therefore be different for each person. Immediately after treatment there may be some redness or swelling, but this will disappear quickly. You may also experience a little more fluid retention around your eyes in the first two weeks. We recommend that you do not visit a sauna, tanning bed or beautician for the first week. In addition, it is important to protect your skin with an SPF for the first two weeks.
After the treatment, you will have a fresh and younger appearance! The fillers ensure that the angry and/or tired look is gone and your face shows soft contours. How often the treatment for hollow or deep-set eyes should be repeated for optimal results varies from person to person. During the personal consultation, one of our specialists will explain all about this!
