The delicate under-eye area is often the first to show signs of aging. As we lose volume in this region, shadows and hollowness can appear, creating a tired and dull look. Tear trough treatment with dermal fillers offers a safe and effective solution to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
What are Tear Troughs?
Tear troughs are the natural creases that run from the inner corner of your eye down to your cheek. They become more noticeable with age as we lose collagen and elastin, the proteins that provide our skin with structure and elasticity.
Additionally, genetic factors and lifestyle habits like sun exposure, smoking, stress and insufficient sleep can all contribute to the deepening of tear troughs.
What is Tear Trough Filler Treatment?
The procedure also referred to as ‘tear troughs’ involves careful addition of dermal fillers to smooth out the under eye area. It is ideal for patients who are looking to address issues such as
- Hollowness under their eyes.
- Shadows and/or dark circles.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
The treatment can help to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Benefits of Tear Trough Fillers
Tear trough fillers are an excellent way of troubleshooting under eye hollows, dark circles and other tear trough issues. Advantages of the treatment include:
- Reduced Shadowing and Darkness:
Fillers effectively plump the under-eye area, diminishing the appearance of dark circles and shadows that contribute to a tired look. - Smoother Under-Eye Area:
By filling in the hollows, tear trough fillers smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. - Enhanced Volume and Definition:
Restoring volume in the tear troughs helps define the cheek-to-eye transition, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. - Minimal Downtime:
Tear trough filler treatment is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their daily activities right after the treatment. - Natural-Looking Results:
When performed by a skilled and experienced injector, tear trough fillers can achieve natural-looking results that subtly enhance your features without appearing overdone.
