What tear trough filler treats
The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye towards the cheek. When it deepens, it casts a shadow that makes you look tired even after a good night's sleep. A small amount of soft hyaluronic acid filler fills the hollow and reduces the shadow.
Is it right for you?
Tear trough filler works best for hollows and shadows, and it isn't the right choice for everyone. If your concern is mostly puffiness, thin crepey skin or pigmentation, the under-eye skin booster (£95) may suit you better, because it improves the skin rather than adding volume. You'll be advised which is right for you at your appointment.
Your appointment
The under-eye area is delicate, so treatment is careful and gradual. It takes around 45 minutes. Results are visible straight away and settle within two weeks.
Aftercare
Bruising and swelling are more common around the eyes than elsewhere and usually settle within a week to ten days. Avoid make-up on the area, alcohol, exercise and heat for 24 hours.
