Tear-trough (under-eyes)

It involves injecting dermal filler into the hollows or depressions under the eyes, known as tear-troughs. It is used to address issues like dark circles, hollowness, and bags under the eyes, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Tear-trough filler typically involves injections containing hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. When injected, the filler adds volume to the under-eye area, smoothing out hollows and reducing the appearance of dark circles. It can also stimulate collagen production, improving skin quality over time.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the tear-trough filler procedure. We use the cannula technique, introducing a small, blunt-tipped needle under the skin, thereby reducing the risk of discomfort and bruising. Additionally, most dermal fillers contain a numbing agent and additional topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort.

The procedure is relatively quick, often taking 15 to 30 minutes.

There may be some mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few days. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. 

The longevity of tear-trough fillers can vary among individuals but results typically last around 6 to 12 months. Maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain the desired outcome.

Tear-trough filler is generally safe when performed by a qualified healthcare professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, including bruising, swelling, and infections.

Typically, any individual that suffers from hollows under the eyes, dark circles, or a tired appearance who want to achieve a more refreshed look.
