A full guide to dermal eye fillers | Should you consider dermal eye filler treatment?
Share this articleDermal eye fillers are a series of injections that are administered into the eye area to lighten the tear trough (or undereye). As we age, collagen production begins to decrease, and the body breaks down the hyaluronic acid present. Dermal fillers are an ideal way in reintroducing hyaluronic acid back into the skin; adding volume to facial areas such as the cheeks, lips, and undereye.
This guide will summarise the most important things about dermal eye fillers you should know before seeking treatment, and the importance of finding a reputable and experienced clinic.

How long do dermal eye fillers last?
In tear trough filler injections, there is a strong presence of hyaluronic acid. This substance is naturally produced in the body and is absorbed over a period. Consequently, dermal fillers are a temporary solution to eye concerns, such as tear trough, eye bags and dark circles, and the tear trough filler will naturally dissolve. Tear trough treatment last anywhere between 9 to 12 months; typically lasting longer than lip fillers.
How often do dermal eye fillers need to be topped up?
Typically, it is recommended to top up dermal eye fillers once a year. However, this is only a generalisation, as this solely depends on the client. Certain factors that can determine how often fillers are topped up include the age of the patient, their facial structure and their lifestyle.
Make sure to talk to a qualified practitioner who has medical credentials and experience in this field.

What are the benefits of dermal eye fillers?
Dermal eye fillers, or tear trough treatment, address certain eye concerns. The treatment includes a series of strategically placed injections, via fine needles or cannulas, which are temporary and non-invasive.
Eye filler is a great alternative to plastic surgery and has several benefits, including:
- It is a non-invasive treatment
- Smooths the area under the eyes and adds volume
- Less pain than other invasive procedures
- Long-lasting effect
- Immediate results

What facial concerns can be treated with tear trough fillers?
Due to a lack of collagen production in the body, skin starts to lose volume and elasticity, and becomes thinner as the body ages. This results in common facial concerns, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Specifically, for the undereye, there are certain issues that dermal eye fillers can help address and reduce:
- Tear trough
- Eye bags
- Dark circles

How safe are dermal eye fillers?
Despite non-invasive treatments being under-regulated in the UK, dermal filler is safe to use and administer in the eye area. However, this is only true if the person that is performing the treatment is medically qualified and has experience in the cosmetic industry. Without proper training and expertise, the results of dermal eye fillers may lead to sub-optimal or botched looks.

What types of dermal fillers are available for the eyes
Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most common type of dermal eye fillers, as hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in the body. Dermal fillers, in areas such as the cheeks and under the eyes, help administer hyaluronic acid back into the skin to help restore loss of volume and smooth any fine lines.
Types of dermal fillers for the eye area include:
- Juvéderm Volbella: this was the first dermal filler to be approved specifically for tear troughs and to reduce the appearance of dark circles.
- Teosyal TSR 2: this dermal filler is used for facial wrinkles and tear trough, to help reduce the appearance of dark circles and eye bags.
Dr Nyla and her team administer injectable hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero, and Teosyal. During your in-depth consultation, our medical practitioners will assess your suitability and find which product will best suit your needs.
