Eye area · Shimbashi & Ginza

Under-eye bags, hollows and the tired look that comes with them

A next-generation filler placed in the eye area and the nasolabial folds. It adds volume, and it also prompts the skin to make its own collagen after the injection — so the change carries on for a while rather than sitting still. Nothing is cut. Male patients only.

The product

Why Esthefill rather than hyaluronic acid

It lasts longer. Esthefill is described as lasting a year and a half to two years, against about six months for hyaluronic acid — so it needs maintaining less often.

It sits more naturally. Hyaluronic acid is a gel; Esthefill is particulate, so it settles into the face after placement. That matters to men who want to keep their expression and would rather nobody noticed anything dramatic had happened.

It does more than fill. The product stimulates collagen production after it is placed, so improvement in lines and skin quality can follow on from the volume itself.

What it is aimed at

  • Bags and hollows under the eyes, and the shadow they cast.
  • Nasolabial folds that have started to stand out.
  • Skin around the eyes that has lost its firmness.
  • Fine lines that show up in photographs before you notice them yourself.

Male patients only, and the doctor is male. Men's skin differs from women's — the muscle sits differently, and so do the causes of lines and sagging — so the placement is planned around that.

What you need to know

Important information

  • A feeling of pressure or of something foreign where the filler sits is common and usually settles within a few days of treatment.
  • Bruising under the skin can happen where the needle goes in, and in thinner-skinned areas that can show as a blue mark.
  • Infection where the needle goes in: bacteria can multiply at the puncture site and cause an infection.
  • Injecting too much can leave an uneven result (overfilled syndrome); this is avoided by keeping to an appropriate volume.
  • ★The serious one: filler pressing on a blood vessel, or being placed into one by mistake, can cause tissue ischaemia or necrosis. It is prevented by planning the placement beforehand and by checking as the product goes in.
  • All treatments on this page are self-pay (自由診療). Japanese national health insurance does not apply, and the full amount is charged at the clinic.
  • Prices shown include consumption tax and are the prices at the time of writing. They can change without notice — the price confirmed at your consultation is the one that applies.
  • Any procedure carries some risk. A doctor checks your history and current medication beforehand, and will decline to treat where it is not safe to do so.

Coming as an English speaker

You can be seen here without speaking Japanese. Consultations are handled with a translation app and written notes rather than by an English-speaking doctor, which works well for treatments where the decision is straightforward — repeat prescriptions, testing, hair removal — and is slower where you have a complicated history to explain. Treatment information, pricing and access details on these pages are in English. The booking system and the pre-visit questionnaire are in Japanese, so message us on LINE beforehand if you would like help completing them.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does under-eye bag treatment cost in Tokyo?

At this clinic, ¥78,000 for the eye area and ¥98,000 for the nasolabial folds, with ¥10,000 off a retouch. It is self-pay, so Japanese national health insurance is not required for the fees listed here.

How long does it last?

Esthefill is described as lasting a year and a half to two years, against about six months for hyaluronic acid. Sessions are spaced 18 to 24 months apart, and a retouch at around two months can settle the volume further.

Does it hurt?

There is little pain, though the needle going in and the product going down can feel odd. Tell the doctor if it is uncomfortable.

What are the risks?

A feeling of pressure for a few days, bruising where the needle goes in, and an uneven result if too much is placed. The serious one is filler pressing on or entering a blood vessel, which can cause tissue ischaemia or necrosis — prevented by planning the placement and checking as the product goes in. The doctor goes through all of this before anything is done.

Is it only for men?

Yes. Only male patients attend this clinic and the doctor is male, so there is no waiting room to share with women. Men's skin differs in how the muscle sits and in what causes the lines and sagging, and the placement is planned around that.
