Sound familiar?
The concealer that creases. The eye cream that does nothing. The "just get more sleep" advice. The dark circles that are genetic, not lifestyle. The hollowing that makes people ask if you're okay when you feel completely fine.
The under-eye area is genuinely one of the hardest areas to treat. The skin is thin, highly vascular, and dealing with multiple overlapping concerns at once. Standard filler helps with volume, but it doesn't address pigmentation, skin quality, or the cellular-level changes that cause darkness and puffiness. Austin's high-pollen cedar seasons and intense central Texas UV exposure accelerate cellular aging and skin barrier inflammation, making targeted medical aesthetics a structural part of any long-term skin health strategy here.
Light Eyes Ultra was developed specifically for this.
Dark circles that concealer can't fix
Hollowing that makes you look tired
Puffiness that won't go away
Fine lines in the delicate under-eye skin
Quick Answer
Light Eyes Ultra in Austin is a PDRN-based under-eye treatment, from $250. It uses pharmaceutical-grade Toskani PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide, derived from salmon DNA) to restore the periorbital tissue at a cellular level, targeting dark circles, hollowing, puffiness, and fine lines. Delivered via mesotherapy micro-injections by Brittany Cantu at Banyan & Bamboo on South Lamar, Austin TX 78704. Your appointment includes the good faith exam, so there is no separate consultation to book. It is typically a single treatment, repeated every 8 to 12 months as needed, with no downtime.
Who Is This Treatment For?
Concern: Persistent dark circles that do not respond to topical products, under-eye hollowing (tear trough), puffiness, or fine lines in the periorbital area.
Candidacy: Light Eyes Ultra is appropriate for patients who want a non-surgical alternative to under-eye filler, or who want to improve skin quality in the periorbital area alongside structural correction.
Timeline: Typically a single treatment. Results settle over the following weeks, and we repeat every 8 to 12 months as needed to maintain them.
Combine: Light Eyes Ultra pairs well with dermal fillers for patients who need structural volume correction, and many patients add it to a Mermaid Facial for full-face PDRN regeneration in one visit.
The Treatment
Light Eyes Ultra uses PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), a regenerative compound derived from salmon DNA, to restore the delicate tissue around the orbital bone. Delivered by mesotherapy micro-injections designed for the thin periorbital skin, it reduces puffiness, dark circles, and hollowing that topical products cannot reach.
It improves the quality of the skin itself: pigmentation, hydration, and texture. For patients with very thin skin or pigmentation-driven darkness, where standard tear trough filler alone can look unnatural, this is the formula built for the job. Few Austin practices offer it.
From $250 as a standalone treatment, also available in combination with tear trough filler. Brittany Cantu confirms the right plan at your appointment.
Find Your Path
Two questions. Brittany Cantu confirms the plan at your appointment.
1. What bothers you most?
Which best matches your dark circles?
Not sure? Gently stretch the skin sideways. Color that stays is pigment. Color that fades is vessels or shadow.
2. Booking anything else with us?
Our Recommendation
Seeing Brittany Cantu for Botox, Dysport, filler, or Sculptra? She can treat your under-eyes with Light Eyes Ultra in the same chair, from $250. One appointment covers everything, including the good faith exam. Explore injectables.
Our Recommendation
The Mermaid Facial delivers PDRN across the whole face. Light Eyes Ultra concentrates it where skin is thinnest and shows tiredness first. Ask for it as your add-on and we build it into the same appointment.
Our Recommendation
Your skin is already primed for regeneration during a Mermaid Lift or microneedling session. Light Eyes Ultra finishes the visit by treating the under-eye area directly, where microneedling does not reach.
Our Recommendation
A focused 30-minute treatment from $250, typically once every 8 to 12 months. Your appointment includes the good faith exam, so there is no separate consultation to book.
Our Recommendation
Significant hollowing sometimes calls for a layered plan. At your appointment, Brittany Cantu assesses whether Light Eyes Ultra alone, tear trough filler, or the Sculptra and PDRN protocol fits your anatomy. The good faith exam is part of the same visit.
Our Recommendation
Brown-toned darkness that stays when you stretch the skin is melanin, and light treats it better than needles. Our IPL photofacial targets the pigment directly, from $400 for face and neck. Consultations are open now, and first laser appointments begin the week of November 2.
Our Recommendation
Blue or purple darkness that fades when you stretch the skin is vessels showing through thin skin. Our vascular laser treatment targets them directly, from $75 per session. Consultations are open now, and first laser appointments begin the week of November 2.
Our Recommendation
Circles you have had since childhood usually mix pigment, vessels, and structure. Brittany Cantu maps which components you have and sequences the plan, often pairing Light Eyes Ultra with IPL or tear trough filler. The good faith exam is built into the visit. Our dark circles guide walks through every type.

The Process
01
Brittany Cantu assesses your periorbital area and determines whether Light Eyes Ultra, tear trough filler, or a combination approach is right for you. The good faith exam required for medical aesthetic treatments happens at this same appointment, so there is no separate visit to book.
02
Brittany Cantu delivers Light Eyes Ultra by mesotherapy, a series of micro-injections placed just beneath the skin surface across the periorbital area. The ultra-fine needles and light placement are designed for the thin, delicate under-eye tissue. Topical numbing is applied first.
03
Typically a single treatment, much like under-eye filler or Sculptra. Results settle over the following weeks as the PDRN goes to work at the cellular level.
04
A repeat session every 8 to 12 months keeps results looking fresh. Many patients schedule it alongside their regular filler or Botox appointments.
Your Injector
Brittany Cantu, AME brings 21+ years of injecting experience to every appointment. The periorbital area requires a level of precision and anatomical knowledge that most injectors don't have. Brittany Cantu has treated hundreds of patients in this area and knows when Light Eyes Ultra is the right call, when filler is better, and when a combination approach will get you the best result.
She won't oversell you. If your concern is better addressed a different way, she'll tell you.

Common Questions
Advanced Protocol
For patients with significant hollowing, volume loss, or persistent darkness that PDRN alone cannot fully address, we combine Light Eyes Ultra with Sculptra. The result is a two-layer regenerative approach: PDRN restores tissue quality at the cellular level while Sculptra rebuilds the collagen scaffold beneath the orbital bone.
Deep tear troughs, volume loss from aging or weight loss, persistent dark circles with a hollow component, and fine crepey texture above and below the eye.
Sculptra is placed in the periorbital region to stimulate collagen over 3 to 6 months. Light Eyes Ultra PDRN is layered above to regenerate the delicate skin and reduce puffiness and discoloration simultaneously.
Brighter, fuller, smoother under-eyes that look rested without looking done. Results build progressively and last 2 or more years with a maintenance session.
This protocol is assessed and customized at your appointment. Not every patient needs Sculptra, and Brittany Cantu recommends the right combination for your anatomy. Many patients also coordinate Botox for crow's feet or tear trough filler in the same visit.
