What is a tear trough filler?

A tear trough filler is an injectable treatment used to address the loss of volume in the under-eye area. It is a hyaluronic acid filler, a gel-like substance that naturally exists in our body and that can give you a natural radiance boost.

During this procedure, dermal filler is injected into the undereye area that has been hollowed out. This is done gently via a cannula, which transfers hyaluronic acid into the area.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural protein in the body that stimulates healthy skin, and the filler is designed to promote vitality and smoothness to the skin beneath the eyes.

Why choose hyaluronic acid fillers?

Our eyes are one of the most important features on our face. However, 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 an advanced application of non-surgical treatments through the injection of hyaluronic acid fillers. This includes tear trough fillers, which are the safest alternative to any surgical treatment.

What are the benefits of under-eye filler?

Tear trough fillers are generally considered one of the most natural ways to restore lost volume and reduce dark circles. Your facial expressions will remain unaffected, which means your skin will look more radiant and younger, but your face will never look dramatically different.

 

• Reduces dark circles and removes hollowness to the undereye area
• Adds volumes and vitality to the eye area
• A fast, non-invasive procedure
• Amplifies collagen production and creates better skin quality

Do dermal fillers work for eye bags and dark circles?

Yes, hyaluronic acid injectable fillers are an excellent way to treat dark circles, under-eye hollows and eye bags. Tear trough fillers 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.

However, not every patient may be the ideal candidate for tear trough fillers. Get in touch with The Aesthetics Doctor to book a consultation and discuss your expectations and needs to find the right treatment for you.

Are tear trough fillers safe?

Like other types of facial fillers, tear trough treatments are relatively safe and less invasive than surgical alternatives that involve fat repositioning and fat grafting.

Under-eye filler is not a painful treatment. You will feel a manageable pressure around the eye area, but it usually lasts for only a few minutes. The side effects of under-eye filler are very rare and include pain, allergic reactions, bruising and swelling.

Tear trough filler aftercare and recovery time

There is no downtime after tear trough fillers, and you will be able to return to your normal daily activities once the procedure is done. Your under eye area will look fuller and more awake immediately, but it may take up to 1 or 2 weeks to see the final results.

You may experience some swelling, bruising and redness, but all these minor side effects will improve within 1 to 2 weeks. To help your skin recover quickly and avoid any discomfort, be sure to:

• Avoid exercising and any intense activity for at least 48 hours.
• Apply ice on the area under your eyelids during the first 48 hours to improve the swelling.
• Avoid sleeping face down.

Is under-eye filler permanent?

The effects of tear trough fillers are temporary and, over time, the dermal fillers will be naturally metabolised by your body. They last about 1 year, and repeated treatments may be needed to maintain long-term results or to improve the appearance of your face further.

Who’s a good candidate for tear trough filler treatment?

Tear trough filler can be the best solution to make your skin look brighter and younger, without altering your natural facial anatomy.

You may be the ideal candidate for this injectable filler if you have healthy skin with holiness in the under eye area with no sags. It is also important to have realistic expectations and understand that this treatment is temporary.
