Tear Trough Filler

Dark circles can appear for several reasons, including genetics, pigmentation, skin thinning, lifestyle, puffiness or volume loss beneath the eyes.

Tear trough filler is most suitable where dark circles are caused by hollowing or shadowing. By restoring subtle support in the tear trough area, the skin can appear smoother and less shadowed, helping the eyes look fresher and more rested.

If your dark circles are mainly caused by pigmentation, thin skin or puffiness, your practitioner may recommend a different approach. You can also read more about our dark circles under eyes treatments.

Yes, tear trough filler may be suitable for patients with hollowing beneath the eyes.

Hollowing can occur as the supportive fat pads and collagen beneath the eyes reduce over time. This can create a shadowed or sunken appearance, making the eyes look tired.

Tear trough filler can help to restore subtle volume and support, smoothing the hollow and creating a fresher, more rested appearance.

Your practitioner will assess whether filler is appropriate for your anatomy, as not all under-eye concerns are best treated with filler.

Tear trough fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin.

Hyaluronic acid helps to support hydration, smoothness and volume. When used as a dermal filler, it can help to restore subtle support beneath the eyes and reduce the appearance of hollowing.

At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we use carefully selected hyaluronic acid fillers that are suitable for the delicate under-eye area.

The best filler for tear troughs will depend on your anatomy, skin quality and treatment goals.

The under-eye area requires a soft, smooth and carefully selected hyaluronic acid filler. Your practitioner will choose the most appropriate product based on the degree of hollowing, skin thickness and how your under-eye area connects with the upper cheek.

The aim is to create a natural-looking improvement without puffiness or visible filler.

Your treatment will begin with a detailed consultation with one of our qualified practitioners.

They will assess your under-eye area, cheeks, skin quality and facial structure before deciding whether tear trough filler is suitable. If treatment is appropriate, small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler will be placed carefully into the tear trough area using precise injection techniques.

The treatment is usually quick and well tolerated. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic to improve comfort during treatment.

Your practitioner will explain what to expect before, during and after treatment.

Results are usually visible immediately after tear trough filler treatment.

You may experience some mild swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising at first, so the final result will become clearer once the area has settled.

Your practitioner will explain when you can expect to see your final result and whether a review appointment may be recommended.

Tear trough filler results are long-lasting, but not permanent.

For many patients, results can last around 9 to 18 months, depending on the product used, the amount placed, your metabolism, lifestyle and individual treatment plan.

The under-eye area tends to move less than areas such as the lips, which means filler may last longer for some patients. However, longevity varies from person to person, and your practitioner will advise when maintenance treatment may be recommended.

There is usually little to no downtime after tear trough filler treatment, and many patients return to normal activities soon after their appointment.

You may experience some mild swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising around the treated area. These effects are usually temporary and should settle within a few days.

Your practitioner will provide aftercare advice to help reduce the risk of swelling or bruising.

Tear trough filler is a specialist injectable treatment and should only be carried out by experienced medical practitioners.

At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, your practitioner will assess your anatomy, skin quality, medical history and treatment goals before recommending whether treatment is suitable.

We use carefully selected hyaluronic acid fillers, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if clinically required. Your practitioner will explain the treatment, possible risks, expected results and aftercare before you decide whether to proceed.

The Cosmetic Skin Clinic is CQC registered, and our practitioners follow a medically led approach to treatment planning and patient care.

As with any injectable treatment, side effects can occur.

These may include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising around the treated area. Some patients may also experience temporary puffiness or unevenness while the area settles.

Your practitioner will explain the possible risks and advise what to expect after treatment. You will also receive aftercare guidance and information on when to contact the clinic if you have any concerns.

Many patients find tear trough filler treatment more comfortable than expected.

Most fillers contain a local anaesthetic, and your practitioner will use precise techniques to help make treatment as comfortable as possible.

You may feel a light pressure or brief discomfort during the procedure, but this is usually well tolerated.

Yes. Your practitioner will provide full aftercare advice after your tear trough filler treatment.

You may be advised to avoid touching or pressing on the treated area for the first few hours, avoid makeup for around six hours, avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours, and avoid excessive heat, saunas or steam rooms for a short period after treatment.

You should also avoid facial massage or pressure around the under-eye area unless advised otherwise by your practitioner.

Your practitioner will explain what is normal after treatment and when to contact the clinic if you have any concerns.
