Under-Eye Filler in Lisbon

The eye area is the most expressive part of the face. But when dark circles are deep, discoloured or hollow, they project tiredness and ageing even when that is far from how you feel. Eye creams, cucumber slices, cold compresses – none of these address structural dark circles. Aesthetic medicine offers effective treatments that target the cause, not just the surface.

There are different types of dark circles, each with distinct causes:

• Vascular dark circles: caused by poor blood circulation, giving the under-eye area a bluish or purple tint
• Pigmented dark circles: melanin accumulation with a genetic component, more common in darker skin tones
• Structural dark circles (hollow or sunken eyes): volume loss in the periorbital area creating shadows and a concave appearance
• Aggravating factors: sleep deprivation, stress, caffeine and alcohol consumption, respiratory allergies, certain medications

For structural and volume-related dark circles – the most resistant to cosmetics – hyaluronic acid filler or NCTF are the most effective solutions available in aesthetic medicine.

At Michelle Bond Clinic in Lisbon, dark circle treatment is performed with two complementary options, chosen during the medical evaluation consultation based on the type and depth of each case.

Hyaluronic Acid Filler

Hyaluronic acid under-eye filler is the most effective option for deep, hollow or significantly sunken dark circles. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced by the body, which decreases with age. When reintroduced into the tear trough area, it restores lost volume, eliminates the shadow, and gives the eyes a rested and rejuvenated appearance. Results are immediate following treatment.

NCTF 135HA (NanoSoft) – Eye Area Revitalisation

NCTF 135HA by Fillmed is an alternative or complementary option, particularly indicated for shallower dark circles or to revitalise the texture of the skin around the eyes. It combines hyaluronic acid with a poly-revitalising solution of vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. It is administered using the NanoSoft device, which features 3 micro-cones of silicone approximately 3 times smaller than a standard needle, minimising discomfort and the risk of bruising.

Both treatments are performed by a specialist doctor. The most appropriate option is defined at the evaluation consultation, according to the type of dark circles each patient presents.

• Step 1 – Evaluation and first consultationBook your evaluation consultation. The doctor assesses the type of dark circles, their depth, and the skin texture, and defines the most appropriate treatment: hyaluronic acid filler, NCTF or a combination of both.
• Step 2 – TreatmentBoth treatments begin with the cleansing of the under-eye area. For hyaluronic acid filler, the product is precisely injected into the tear trough area. For NCTF NanoSoft, the product is delivered via the micro-cones, forming small papules that are absorbed within 24 hours. 
• Step 3 – Post-treatment and resultsWith hyaluronic acid filler, results are immediate. The area may be slightly swollen and tender for 24 to 48 hours, and mild bruising can occur – both are normal and resolve within a few days. With NCTF, results become visible from the second session onward. Hyaluronic acid filler results last an average of 12 months. NCTF is recommended as a pack of 5 sessions for more sustained effects.

• 1 syringe of hyaluronic acid: 350€
• 1 NCTF session: 110€
• Pack of 5 NCTF sessions: 450€

The appropriate treatment is defined at the medical evaluation consultation, based on the type and depth of dark circles for each individual.
