In addition to reducing dark circles, fillers for tear trough have the added benefit of brightening and rejuvenating tired-looking eyes. They stimulate collagen production in the delicate skin, and this non-surgical procedure is a safe and effective option to more invasive options, such as surgery, and provides natural-looking results.

When considering tear trough treatment, it is important to consult with skilled and qualified practitioners who understand facial anatomy and can recommend the most appropriate approach for suitable candidates. Mild swelling and bruising may occur following the procedure, but this typically subsides within a couple of days. Overall, tear trough filler results offer a convenient and temporary solution to restore volume, brighten eyes, and enhance facial features.

Trusted for over 13 years to reduce the appearance of eye bags and the insecurities that come with them, you can rely on our PHI Clinic London practitioners to significantly reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, leaving a more rejuvenated look. This also helps with other common concerns like deep lines and marionette lines.

As the under-eye area is so delicate, eye filler should only be performed by an experienced medical professional. Our experienced practitioners, renowned in the industry, will always put your safety first.

During your consultation at our London clinic, one of our practitioners will assess whether hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections are the right treatment for you, as well as discussing everything you need to know about the procedure.

The main culprit of under eye hollows and volume loss under the eyes is age. But this area can be impacted by a whole range of factors including lifestyle, allergies and lack of sleep. For some, the effects can even be inherited. The causes include:
 

• Ageing: The natural ageing process leads to a loss of collagen and elastin, which results in a decrease in skin elasticity and volume. This can contribute to the appearance of tear troughs as the area under the eyes becomes more hollow or sunken. If you have fillers in the tear trough area, the rest of the face will age as normal.
   
• Genetics: Some inherit hollowness and dark circles under the eyes. The anatomical structure of the face, including the position of the fat pads and bone structure, can play a role in the development of tear troughs.
   
• Loss of fat and volume: As we age, fat pads in the face can shift or diminish, including the fat pads that provide support to the under-eye area. This loss of fat and volume can create a hollow or sunken appearance.
   
• Fluid retention and swelling: Factors such as water retention, allergies, sinus issues, or inadequate sleep can cause fluid to build under the eyes. This can lead to puffiness and accentuated tear troughs.
   
• Lifestyle factors: Certain habits, such as excessive sun exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of sleep, can contribute to the tired look and appearance of lines.

Tear trough treatment may be effective for those who have bags and hollows under the eyes. As we age, our eye sockets become more prominent and defined. With a precise amount of specially-designed dermal filler, our aesthetic doctors can add volume and structure to the area while avoiding the puffy, overdone look. This treatment is an effective option for suitable candidates.

Given the delicate eye circle area, this treatment is carried out by our team of doctors. Our doctors are some of the country’s most advanced injectors. They treat a variety of patients at our London clinic, as well as educating other medical professionals on international stages.

As every face is different, so are the results. But our dermal fillers can last anywhere between 12 and 24 months when injected into the under-eye area, offering longer-lasting results for tear trough filler treatments.

Our Juvéderm dermal fillers contain a local anaesthetic, numbing the area whilst being injected into the skin. You may feel a little uncomfortable, but you shouldn’t feel pain during tear trough filler treatment. 

Tear trough filler aftercare is crucial to ensure the best possible results and minimise risks. While specific instructions may vary depending on the patient, here are some general guidelines:

1. Avoid touching or applying pressure. For the first 24-48 hours following the treatment, avoid touching or applying excessive pressure to the treated area. This includes avoiding rubbing, massaging, or putting any significant pressure on the tear troughs.
    
2. Apply cold compresses. Applying cold compresses or ice packs wrapped in a cloth to the treated area can help reduce swelling and alleviate any discomfort. Be sure to use a barrier, such as a cloth or towel, to protect the skin from direct contact with the cold pack.
    
3. Avoid strenuous activities. Minimise activities that may increase blood flow or strain the treated area, such as vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, or bending over. These activities can potentially impact the outcome of the treatment and increase the risk of bruising or swelling.
    
4. Avoid sun exposure. Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least a week following the treatment. Sun exposure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation and other complications.
    
5. Use gentle skincare products. During the initial healing period, opt for gentle skincare products that do not contain harsh chemicals or potential irritants. Avoid exfoliating or using abrasive scrubs in the treated area.
    
6. Sleep with an elevated head position. For the first few nights after the treatment, sleep with your head slightly elevated by using an extra pillow or raising the head of your bed. This can help minimise swelling.
    
7. Follow post-treatment instructions. It is crucial to adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider. This may include using prescribed topical creams or avoiding certain medications or supplements that could increase the risk of complications.

The appropriate age for under-eye fillers depends on various factors. Tear trough fillers have become an increasingly popular treatment for younger individuals seeking a fresher appearance and to reduce the tired appearance.

Age is a factor, but individual circumstances such as skin quality, lifestyle, and facial anatomy should also be considered. Tear trough fillers may be suitable for individuals in their 20s and 30s who experience mild volume loss.

Tear trough fillers are not a permanent solution, and results may break down over time. To maintain optimal results, adopting a healthy lifestyle and daily routine is essential. Consulting with a qualified medical practitioner will help you determine if this treatment is right for you.

Results from tear trough filler treatments can produce natural-looking outcomes when performed by a skilled practitioner who understands facial anatomy. This treatment aims to address the tired appearance by replenishing lost volume in the tear trough area.

Unlike surgical procedures, tear trough filler treatments offer a non-surgical solution using hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. The key to achieving natural-looking results lies in the hands of an experienced practitioner who can tailor the treatment to suit each patient’s unique facial contouring needs.

Tear trough filler injections are widely recognised as an effective option for treating under-eye hollows and dark circles. However, like any injectable treatment, there are potential risks. Mild swelling and bruising are the most common side effects, which typically subside within a couple of days.

It’s crucial to seek treatment from experienced medical practitioners who understand facial anatomy. With proper supervision, the risks of tear trough filler injections are minimised, and patients can achieve natural-looking results.
