Tear trough filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a gel-like substance into the tear trough area to reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags.

Anyone who is looking to reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags may be a candidate for Tear Trough Filler treatment.

Tear Trough Filler is considered a safe and effective cosmetic procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. The filler used is usually made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body which is biocompatible and biodegradable and has been extensively tested and approved by regulatory agencies such as the FDA.

The procedure itself usually takes no more than 30 minutes. There may be some discomfort associated with the injections, but this can be minimised with the use of a local anesthetic beforehand. After this, the treatment area will be cleaned, and a fine cannula used to inject the filler into the area needing volume.

Treating the midface in conjunction with the under eyes or tear troughs is a strategic and nuanced approach that aims to provide natural, balanced, and harmonious results, contributing to an overall more youthful and refreshed facial appearance.

The most common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve within a few hours to a few days. In rare cases, there may be a reaction to the filler, resulting in itching, redness, or a rash. For most, however, there’s little to no downtime. You only need to be wary of applying makeup, sun exposure and strenuous exercise.

Results vary depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. On average, the results last between 6 and 12 months, after which time the procedure may be repeated to maintain the desired results.
