Tear troughs are well-defined, deep, dark hollows that are located between the lower eyelid, nose and upper cheek. The Tear Trough area transitions between the bottom eyelid and upper cheek area, supporting the eyes muscle and fat giving people a more youthful appearance. Naturally, with ageing, this area loses volume, which can cause dark shadows on your face and creates an appearance of dark under-eye bags or circles.
They can make you look tired and haggard, and in some cases, unwell. Often they are genetic rather than a sign of ageing and can appear in some people in their early twenties. However, it is possible to successfully treat tear troughs with the use of tear trough filler. These will plump up the hollows, giving you a fresher, healthier and more rested appearance.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The filler is injected at precise locations using tiny injections of Dermal Filler specially designed to treat the delicate and sensitive eye circle area. Results can be seen instantly with under-eye filler giving hydration, elasticity and firmness to the skin as it fills the tear trough depression, making it look smoother and healthier. Dark ‘circles’, and shadowing are reduced, as the thin skin in this area is highly reflective and shadowing is reduced when the hollowness is corrected with fillers.
During the treatment, you will have a mirror so that you can see the results which appear immediately.
SUITABLE FOR
Dermal fillers are suitable for most people, except for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Tear Trough Filler
The tear trough area is difficult to treat because the soft tissue between the edge of bone and outer skin is the thinnest skin in the body. Many people suffer from dark circles under the eyes through age, sleep deprivation, sun damage or other causes – and sometimes they’re just genetic. Dermal fillers can make your tear troughs look fresher and more hydrated with immediate effect. Dermal filler is injected at precise locations before the skin is massaged to give instant results. This is a safe and long-lasting treatment with minimal discomfort and no downtime. This procedure should only be carried out by a medical professional
WHAT ARE TEAR TROUGHS?
Tear troughs are the prominent sunken areas under the eyes that give the appearance of bags or dark circles. The dark circles can be caused by a variety of reasons but give the impression of tiredness and fatigue, even when there has been adequate rest.
WHAT IS A TEAR TROUGH TREATMENT?
Tear troughs can be treated with the use of dermal fillers. The Hyaluronic Acid is injected into the relevant sites to plump the area. As Hyaluronic Acid attracts water molecules, the skin will appear younger and fresher.
IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?
As dermal fillers are made up of molecular structures of Hyaluronic Acid, a substance already taking place in the body, there is a significantly decreased risk of an adverse reaction, and so are very safe treatments.
Depending on the areas treated and the metabolism rate of the patient, dermal fillers can last from 6-12 months. The Hyaluronic Acid is broken down by the body so repeat treatments will be necessary if you wish to maintain a specific look.
The side effects are minimal and temporary. The most common injection related reactions are:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Pain
- Itching
- Discolouration
- Tenderness
These generally resolve within 2 – 7 days.
Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen or Advil for two days after treatment; also, avoid them for one week prior to treatment
Do not use ice on swollen areas after treatment
Avoid exercise, except for walking, for 24 hours after treatment.
