TEAR TROUGH TREATMENT
Tear trough fillers are used to reduce the appearance of dark lower eye bags and fill out the hollows, helping you to look rejuvenated, less tired, and more youthful.
​
If you have dark circles under your eyes or under-eye hollows, or you look tired even when you’ve been sleeping well, tear-trough fillers may be your solution.
As we age, our skin becomes thinner and we lose some of the collagen within it. These changes mean we lose some of the natural elasticity within the skin, which can enhance the appearance of blood vessels, lost volume, and dark shadowing beneath the eyes.
​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF TEAR TROUGH TREATMENT?
​
On the day of your consultation Nurse Cherise will explain the tear trough treatment and advise if you are suitable.
• If you wish to go ahead on the same day for under eye filler, it is possible. Your practitioner will obtain your consent and take a pre-treatment photograph of you (which is strictly private and for medico-legal purposes only)
• The dermal filler will be administered using a cannula which is a quick and relatively painless experience – using a cannula minimises your risks as it reduces the possibility of filler being injected into a blood vessel and will also reduce your risk of bruising. This area will then be massaged for a smooth result.
• The results of the tear trough filler are immediate so you will be able to see a difference in your under eyes immediately but this will continue to improve for up to 4 weeks
• You may have some swelling and your final overall result will be visible in 4 weeks time when any swelling has gone
• All appropriate aftercare will be explained and you will be able to continue with the rest of your day.
WHAT IS THE BEST FILLER FOR TEAR TROUGH TREATMENT?
​
At AMC the only licensed product used for the under-eye area is Teosyal Redensity II. In our extensive experience, it is the best dermal filler for under the eye.
This hyaluronic acid filler is made specifically to treat around the eye area including tear troughs. It is a very light/soft dermal filler that has been adapted for the delicate eye circle area to minimise the risk of bruising. Also, it attracts very little water unlike other dermal fillers, which means it causes less swelling than other fillers.
WHAT IS THE BEST EYE BAGS TREATMENT?
​
Tear trough filler can be used to disguise subtle eye bags if there is a hollow trough associated with them which is making their appearance worse. However, if you have a ‘puffy’ undereye area or puffy eye bags then an alternative treatment will be advised suitably to your concerns.
​
​
WHAT IS THE AFTERCARE ADVICE?
​
Full aftercare advice both verbal and electronic will be given, but in general:
-
Avoid massaging the area (for up to 5 days)
-
No exercise
-
No treatments, such as facials, around the area
