Tear troughs are well-defined, deep, dark hollows that are located between the lower eyelid, nose and upper cheek. The under eye 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 under eye filler. These will plump up the hollows, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a fresher, healthier and more rested appearance.
The filler treatment is injected in small amounts 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’, shadowing, and volume loss 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.
Most people can be a candidate for under eye filler, except for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Under-eye filler is a simple and effective cosmetic treatment that helps reduce the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles, and hollows under your eyes. During the treatment, a doctor will inject dermal filler beneath the skin in the under-eye area. This filler instantly adds volume and plumpness, giving you a refreshed and youthful look.
The results are often immediate, and there’s minimal discomfort involved. You can expect to see a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance that lasts for several months. Under-eye filler is a popular choice for those looking to enhance their natural beauty and regain a rested, vibrant look without the need for surgery. It’s a quick, non-invasive solution for achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Some common side effects may include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. These usually subside within a few days. Rarely, more serious complications like infection or vascular occlusion may occur.
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.
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 filler is injected into the tear trough area to plump up the skin and fill in hollows. This helps to smooth out the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of shadows and bags. The whole treatment takes about 15-30 minutes
Yes, tear trough fillers are a hyaluronic acid filler which is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, so it’s important to choose a reputable practitioner.
The treatment involves the use of a fine needle or cannula, so some patients may experience mild discomfort. However, most practitioners apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to minimize any pain or discomfort.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, it’s recommended to avoid intense physical activities, excessive sun exposure, and makeup application for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure.
Yes, dermal filler used in tear trough treatment can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme breaks down the filler and allows it to be metabolized by the body.
Good candidates for tear trough filler are individuals who have hollows or dark circles under their eyes, giving them a tired or aged appearance. It is important for candidates to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.
