Reduced under-eye hollows
Typical concerns about the eye area include hollowness and sunken eyes, wrinkles, crow’s feet, pigmentation (dark circles), dullness, puffiness and bags under the eyes.
Traditional tear trough filler adds plumpness and volume to sunken eyes and significantly reduces dark circles and wrinkles.
The treatment process step-by-step
Step 1
This treatment takes 30–45 minutes, which includes a detailed consultation with your doctor.
Step 2
First, we make a small number of local anaesthetic injections into the eye area.
Step 3
We then place small amounts of dissolvable hyaluronic acid facial filler into the area around the eyes. This is done using a small cannula.

Frequently asked questions
You will see some results as soon as the treatment is finished. The full effects will develop over the next four weeks.
The results will normally last around 9–12 months.
We perform this procedure under local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort.
Tear trough filler should not be used if the under-eye area lacks elasticity or if you have bags under the eyes.
Fillers should be avoided if the area already has sufficient volume or if there is poor lymph drainage, which can lead to puffiness.
In these cases, your doctor may recommend polynucleotide treatment for the eyes.
