The tear trough is located directly below your eyes, between your eyes and your cheeks. Tear troughs will often appear darker then your skin tone, possibly purple in colour and will likely be accompanied by prominent creases and lines in mature patients.

The tear trough is one of the first areas affected by the ageing process, showing in patients as early as twenty years old. Other factors such as genetics, diet and lifestyle also contribute to the strength and depth of the hollowness in the tear troughs.

Anyone over 18 with sunken, hollowed tired-looking eyes will benefit from the Tear Trough Correction treatment.

We use a cannula which minimises the risk of trauma and bruising to the area, to essentially smooth the skin under the eyes, replacing lost volume and diffusing dark shadow – caused by sunken, hollowed tear troughs.

Even though the Tear Trough correction treatment doesn’t specifically target lines and wrinkles, it does return volume and in turn smooths the skin. Which softens the lines and reduces the appearance of  wrinkles.

A topical anaesthetic will be applied to numb the treatment area to ensure the procedure is comfortable, you’ll feel a little prick and slight pressure. The filler itself also contains Lidocaine, a numbing agent, to help minimise discomfort.

Post-filler bruising and inflammation are a common side effect, but this subsides after three to seven days. Makeup can be applied to the area 6 hours after the procedure to cover any bruising. In rare occasions infection can occur, however this is greatly reduced if the correct post-treatment and aftercare advice have been adhered to, which you will receive on the day of your treatment.

See ‘How do I prepare for my appointment?’ to view our recommendations in order to minimise side effects.

Fillers are small injections of a liquid, gel-like substance that is ideal for filling in creases and lines, plumping up the lips or cheeks and enhancing facial contours. They are also able to improve the appearance of aging, wrinkling or sagging skin.

The fillers we use are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a popular type of soft-tissue dermal filler. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is naturally present in our skin, it is temporary and is possible to dissolve should there be any problems. It has the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water and has many functions, including giving the skin elasticity and volume, keeping it smooth, supple and hydrated whilst creating youthful firmer-looking skin.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA), the ingredient that our fillers are made of, is a liquid gel-like substance which is temporary, naturally present in our skin and is a great product for injectables. The beauty of a temporary filler is that if required or necessary it can be dissolved by Hyaluronidase, a compound which breaks down Hyaluronic Acid (HA).

Your tear troughs will be a little swollen at first, but you’ll see the effects of the treatment immediately, you will need around three to seven days for your face to fully settle.

The fillers we use are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a water holding molecule. For the best results it is beneficial to be well hydrated prior to the treatment. 

7 Days Prior: If you are taking any blood thinning medication then ideally these should be stopped several days before the procedure, only with your doctors consent. Thinner blood will make the area more prone to bruising and bleeding.

3 Days Prior: Avoid any aggressive facial treatments, such as AHA peels. These activities increase blood flow to your face, which can only add to the swelling.

24 Hours Prior: Avoid alcohol before your treatment, alcohol in your system heightens the chance of swelling and bruising.
