Tear Trough Filler - Under Eye Filler Treatment

The tear trough is the area between the cheek and the lower eyelid.

In most individuals, tear troughs are an inherited trait. However, as you get older and your facial tissues lose volume, they become more prominent. As we age, our face loses volume and its natural concentration of hyaluronic acid. This can cause physical hollows beneath the eyes that create shadows on the face, contributing towards a tired-looking appearance, along with dark circles and eye bags.

Tear troughs are also caused by factors such as age, genetics, stress, and sun damage.

The Aesthetics Doctor specialises in tear trough fillers, a sophisticated treatment to improve the volume loss in the under-eye area, and that uplift the skin and takes away the effects of ageing.

Dark circles depends on many factors and they can come and go. Some people have naturally darker circles under the eyes; for others, this may be a symptom of lack of sleep.

However, if a darker pigmentation is caused by the natural ageing process of your skin, dark circles may be reversible. Dermal fillers can help your skin naturally produce more collagen, giving the under eyes area a plumper and younger appearance.

Our eyes are one of the key features of our face. However, as we age, we lose volume in this region and we develop dark circles, thinning skin, and wrinkles. This process can also be triggered by several external factors, such as sun exposure and even stress.

Under-eye shadows or bags can affect not only your overall appearance but also your self-confidence. Some clients might contemplate seeking the help of plastic surgeons, which usually means undertaking drastic and invasive procedures with long recovery times.

At The Aesthetics Doctor, we offer a wide range of non-surgical solutions to help you feel beautiful in your own skin and body and are safer than any surgical treatment.

Tear trough filler is not a treatment targeted at reducing fine lines and wrinkles. However, since your skin will be more hydrated, your eyes look more plumped. Hyaluronic acid stimulated collagen production and gives your skin the hydration boost your under-eyes area needs to look younger, brighter, and less tired.

If you want to specifically target wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes area, Skin Boosters and Anti-Wrinkle Injections may be a more suitable treatment.

Yes, tear trough fillers are an excellent way to treat dark circles, under-eye hollows, and eye bags. Hyaluronic acid injectables are a safe, non-invasive procedure and, in several cases, a valid alternative to cosmetic surgery to improve your appearance while maintaining your natural facial anatomy.

Although rare, complications from tear trough filler can occur. Because a small needle is used, it is normal to experience some redness, bruising, or swelling in the days after the injections. Other very rare side effects of under-eye filler include pain, allergic reactions, bruising, and swelling.

While risks are typically low for tear trough filler, it is important to trust a licensed aesthetics doctor instead of going to a more general medical or aesthetic centre, where the risk for infection and other problems are usually higher.

Immediately after the under-eyes filler treatment, you will experience bruising, redness, and tenderness in the treated area. You may also experience an itching sensation. This generally disappears in a few day, and you need to avoid touching the treatment area for at least 6 hours after the filler injections.

• Do not touch your under-eyes area for at least 6 hours after the treatment
• Apply ice on the area under your eyelids during the first 48 hours to improve the swelling.
• Avoid using makeup or any skincare products for at least the first few hours after the treatment
• Avoid exercise or alcohol for at least a couple of days
• Do not expose the treated area to intense heat or extreme cold.
• Avoid sleeping face down.

Tear trough filler can be the best solution to make your skin look brighter and younger, without altering your natural facial anatomy. Filler can be the best solution to target volume loss under your eyes and you can be the ideal candidate for tear trough filler if you:

• Have hollowing and/or volume loss under the eyes
• Have mild to moderate sagging under the eyes
• Have good skin thickness and elasticity
• Are physical healthy

However, not everybody is a good candidate for tear trough filler. You may not be suitable for tear trough filler if you have:

• Dark circles caused by darker pigment in your skin (hyperpigmentation) or genetics. The filler will only accentuate them.
• Excessive skin or fat under your eyes
• Very thin skin
• Extremely deep tear troughs
• Medical conditions that put you at risk of complications

Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections are two of the most popular anti-aging non-surgical treatments. They are both used to treat tear troughs, but they work differently.

Injections around the eyes are used for reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles in this region of your face. This is the perfect treatment for crow’s feet, eye wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, and brow lift.

Dermal fillers for tear troughs are hyaluronic acid-based injections. Tear trough fillers, however, are used to restore the volume under sunken eyes instead of treating wrinkles.

Yes. A range of other dermal fillers treatments can be carried out along with under-eye fillers, to achieve a more completenon-surgical facial reshaping.
