What are Tear Trough Fillers?
Tear trough fillers are a specialized type of dermal filler used to treat the hollow or sunken appearance under the eyes, often referred to as tear troughs. These fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, which helps to hydrate and add volume. By injecting fillers into the tear trough area, they can reduce the appearance of dark circles, hollows, and under-eye bags, resulting in a refreshed and youthful look.

Results of Tear Trough Filler Treatments
Results from tear trough filler treatments are visible immediately after the procedure, with full effects becoming more apparent within a few days as any initial swelling subsides. The effects typically last between 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors like skin type and metabolism. Most patients are delighted with the subtle, yet significant, improvement in their under-eye appearance, leading to a more rested and youthful look.
Procedure of Tear Trough Filler Treatments
The tear trough filler procedure is non-surgical and minimally invasive. The treatment area is cleaned, and a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the injections. The filler is then carefully injected into the tear trough area using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure generally causes minimal discomfort, and an ice pack may be applied afterward to reduce any swelling or bruising.
The amount of filler used and the technique employed will depend on the degree of volume loss and your specific aesthetic goals.
