Tear Trough Filler London

Tear troughs can be caused by several factors, including lifestyle, lack of sleep and allergies – they can even be inherited in some cases. However, the primary reason is for these hollows forming under the eyes is age.

• Ageing: As we age, levels of collagen and elastin in the skin naturally drop, which reduces the volume and elasticity in the skin. This can make areas of the face like under the eyes look sunken and hollow, making you look older than you are.
• Lifestyle: Lifestyle habits, like smoking, poor diet or a lack of sleep, can all result in tear troughs being accentuated.
• Genetics: Dark circles and hollow under-eyes can be inherited, due to the natural structure of the face and the positioning of fat pads, which can play a role in how tear troughs look.
• Weight loss: If you’ve lost weight, you may notice that your tear troughs look more pronounced. Similarly, as we age, the fat in the face can shift or fade which creates a hollow appearance.
• Swelling or fluid retention: If you’re retaining water, dealing with sinus issues, or suffering with allergies, fluid can build up under the eyes which makes them look puffy and can emphasise tear troughs.

Men and women of any age can benefit from tear trough fillers. They offer a safe, quick and highly effective solution to lift and brighten the eye area, reducing shadows and providing a more radiant, youthful appearance. We recommend dermal fillers for tear troughs for our Mayfair patients as they’re natural-looking, won’t impede facial movements and offer a faultless safety profile for incredible results.

Tear trough fillers may be suitable for those who are affected by the tired look of hollows beneath the eyes. This can also sometimes be accompanied by dark circles and/or eye bags. But you can achieve a more refreshed look with a bespoke treatment plan, created by Dr Nyla and her team, which will leave you looking rejuvenated and youthful.

As we age, our eye sockets can become more defined, and this can be accompanied by puffiness or dark circles. If you’re looking for a natural solution, tear trough fillers are an effective treatment that will help you achieve a more refreshed and rejuvenated look. You will have a consultation before your treatment to discuss any concerns, and we can talk through your suitability for this procedure.

At our Mayfair clinic, Dr Nyla and her team use FDA-approved Hyaluronic Acid fillers which are safe to use around the delicate eye area. HA dermal fillers are biodegradable and can be used to treat several concerns on the face to subtly enhance and rejuvenate the facial features and smooth the skin.

This treatment is carried out in our state-of-the-art clinics by fully qualified aesthetic practitioners. Our team has extensive experience and will ensure your appointment is relaxed and comfortable.

You can expect some mild to moderate swelling and redness after dermal fillers, but these are typically temporary and will disappear after a couple of days. Any risks or potential complications will be discussed with you at your consultation, along with any advice we can provide you with to reduce any discomfort.

Tear trough injections are a popular solution for combatting under-eye hollows and dark circles, and while the treatment is FDA-approved, there are always potential risks as with any injectable treatment. We are fully trained and qualified to administer this treatment as safely as possible, and we will discuss any potential risks and complications with you during your consultation to put your mind at ease.

The right age for under-eye fillers depends on several factors, such as your age, the quality of your skin and your facial structure. You might be in your 20s or 30s and looking to tear-trough fillers to provide a refreshed appearance, or you may be older and want to restore volume loss that has developed from age.

It’s worth noting that tear trough fillers are not a permanent solution, so the results will fade over time, but we can work with you to develop a treatment plan to maintain the results you’re looking for.

Since tear trough filler treatments are completely non-surgical, there’s minimal downtime required. But there are a few ways you can speed up your recovery and prevent any complications after your treatment.

First, we recommend you avoid wearing make-up or using any skincare other than gentle cleansers at least for the first six hours, and avoid touching your face. Use warm, not hot, water on your face and ideally avoid these things until the next day.

We also advise our patients to avoid strenuous exercise, extreme heat such as saunas and steam rooms, and skip chemical exfoliants such as AHAs for around 24 hours. Lastly, avoid non-essential blood-thinning products like ibuprofen or aspirin – if you experience discomfort post-treatment, other painkillers like paracetamol are fine to take.

Mild to moderate swelling, bruising, tenderness or itching in the treatment area is common, and you may notice small red marks where the filler has been injected. These side effects should subside within a few days and will disappear completely after a few weeks. However, if you notice any extreme discomfort or your symptoms worsen, contact the clinic immediately.
