tear trough filler
What is tear trough filler?
The tear trough treatment restores volume and reduces the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. This treatment is perfect for clients who have a hollowing under the eye, which results in a constant ‘tired’ appearance.
We place small amounts of a very low density filler into the hollowing under the eye using a micro-cannula (thin, hollow tube). A micro-cannula allows for a safer injection technique and minimal discomfort. We can only use a maximum of 1ml in an appointment to ensure we do not overfill this delicate area of skin.
The majority of clients only need one treatment, but if the depression is particularly pronounced, then a second treatment might be required.
This results in a refreshed & rejuvenated appearance. The nose can also appear smaller due to the smoother transition from the tear trough. The results from this treatment are incredible and just one treatment typically lasts 12 months. However we have found results often last much loonger than this.
