It is a common concern that people are bothered by hollowing under the eyes. They feel this can make them look tired even when they are well-rested. The ageing process also can cause a loss of volume in the area between the lower eyelids and the cheeks. This is known as a tear trough and often people find they may experience dark circles and under-eye bags. Both men and women can be affected by this concern which can be apparent from a younger age due to genetics, otherwise, other causes include ageing, stress, certain medical conditions and lack of sleep. It is important to remember that the tear trough is normal anatomy, but when the hollowing is more pronounced and you are suitable for treatment, we can treat it with dermal filler.

Takroni Clinic always takes an individual approach to every patient’s concern and unique anatomy, which are carefully analysed during the consultation. Tear trough filler may be recommended in this situation, often in combination with mid-face or cheek filler to support the under eyes and minimise the amount of product required in the delicate under-eye area. At your consultation, your clinician will be able to assess if you are suitable for tear trough filler treatment which is generally if you have good skin quality that pings back into place when you gently pinch the under-eye area, minimal swelling in the eye area and a deeper tear trough hollow. If you are not an ideal candidate for tear trough filler, we will still be able to make recommendations such as medical microneedling, polynucleotides and medical-grade skincare to help address the eye area non-surgically. A personalised treatment plan will establish where the filler will need to be placed and how much is required to rejuvenate the eye area as well as any treatments which may enhance results and skin quality in the area such as medical microneedling, polynucleotides and medical grade skincare.
After cleansing the area and marking out our plan, a cannula is usually used to safely place the filler in the tear trough hollow, however, on occasion, a very fine needle is more appropriate. A light filler is used for this part of the face as it’s more compatible with the delicate structure around the eyes. There is an anaesthetic contained within the filler so you will find the treatment comfortable and straightforward. Often the treatment is complemented by treating the surrounding area, such as the mid-face or cheeks.
Taking care of the treated area following treatment will help to achieve a safe and optimal outcome with reduced downtime. Takroni Clinic advises that you avoid touching the area for a few hours and avoid using a sauna, steam rooms or facials for at least 1 week. You must also avoid alcohol or exercise for 48 hours. No makeup over the area treated until the next day to minimise the risk of infection but you can gently wash your face the same evening using a gentle cleanser. We recommend avoiding strong topical actives for 5 days, but you can wear SPF from the next morning. Your detailed aftercare advice will be provided at your appointment.
The results are visible immediately but will continue to improve over the course of 6 weeks as water is drawn towards the filler in the area. We always under-fill the tear trough area as hyaluronic acid will attract water over the 6 weeks and we don’t want the area to become overfilled after this time. The concentration of hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers may also hydrate the skin and improve its quality. The results will create eyes that appear more youthful and alert, whilst also reducing the look of fine lines and shadows. Results can often last over 12 months following treatment. Results are maximised by combining your treatment with medical-grade skincare, medical microneedling and treatments such as polynucleotides for skin quality.

Faq
Tear trough fillers are a non-invasive solution for rejuvenating the look of the eyes when the ageing process or genetic predisposition has caused hollow areas to develop beneath the lower lids. Takroni Clinic does not recommend this procedure if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have taken Roaccutane in the last 3-6 months. Your clinician will carefully asses your anatomy to know whether this is the most suitable treatment for you and if not can also make other recommendations to enhance your eye area.
Tear trough filler is considered to be safe when carried out by a suitably qualified and experienced clinician. Takroni Clinic uses the highest quality products, advanced techniques and experienced clinicians to ensure your safety and well-being. Your filler treatments will always be carried out by an experienced medical professional so you know you will always be in safe hands.
The eyes are delicate in nature and are therefore a little more sensitive. However, due to the gentle techniques used at Takroni Clinic and the experience of our clinicians, our patients report that treatment is comfortable. There is also local anaesthetic within the high-quality filler that we use to ensure your comfort.
Downtime is often very minimal with the possibility of mild bruising or swelling for 5 – 7 days. Redness and some tenderness in the area is very common immediately post treatment. Your clinician will go through any benefits and risks in detail during your consultation so that you are always making a fully informed decision.
