Between the lower eyes and the upper cheek is the tear trough, a deep crease that can cast a shadow below your eyes, making you look tired, older or even unhappy. Some people develop tear troughs sooner than others as a result of genetics, and this can be exacerbated by lack of sleep, allergies, dehydration or lifestyle.
Under-eye circles usually become more prominent with age as the face begins to lose volume. Fillers can be used to plump the skin under the eyes, filling in the tear trough area and giving the skin a fuller, tighter and more youthful appearance.
A tear trough filler is an injectable treatment that’s used under the eyes to help provide volume and smooth away dark circles and wrinkles. The filler is typically made of hyaluronic acid, although other ingredients may be used. Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance that naturally exists in your body, and it hydrates and plumps the skin, giving the skin a youthful, healthy look. When injected into the under-eye areas, hyaluronic acid-based fillers increase fullness and minimize indentations.
Tear trough filler treatments are for men or women who would like to rejuvenate the under-eye area without surgery. You might be an ideal candidate for tear trough filler if you meet the following requirements:
For those who aren’t candidates for this treatment, there are other options to address the under-eye area, such as laser treatments or surgery.
We will begin with a consultation to examine your face and skin and discuss your aesthetic goals.
Some patients prefer to have a numbing cream applied before the treatment, while others prefer to use ice as an anesthetic to avoid skin irritation that can occur with numbing creams. A very fine needle or blunt-tipped cannula is used to precisely inject small amounts of filler into the areas under your eyes.
While the procedure is very exact and done with care, it only takes a few minutes to complete.
After your tear trough filler treatment, you can return to work or your usual routine immediately. You can expect some swelling for a few days, but this is usually mild. We recommend avoiding heavy exercise and alcohol for 24 hours.
Results are immediately apparent, and you can enjoy your rejuvenated, fresh and youthful-looking eyes.
