What Is a Tear Trough Filler?
The tear trough is the lower area under the eye, just before the cheek. Dark circles can appear in this area for a number of reasons, including ageing, allergies, and even as a result of a sleepless night. Consequently, a tear trough filler can ensure that people can’t tell a story from looking solely at the areas around your eyes.
With your eyes being the focal point of your face, you will naturally want them to be as healthy and rejuvenated as possible so that you look your best. Thankfully, tear trough fillers are making dark circles under the eyes quickly become a thing of the past. As a result, this treatment can be hugely transformational to the way someone looks, brightening the “under-eye” area. Moreover, the treatment is immensely popular and can produce incredible results.
Our recommended fillers are Teosyal, a range of injectable dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid designed to treat wrinkles, give volume to the face and also improve skin quality, Juvederm® Ultra, Stylage, Sinclair and MaiLi range of innovative monophasic cross-linked injectable dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.
How does tear trough treatment work?
The treatment uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers to restore volume to the tear trough area. The filler is carefully injected to lift the skin and smooth out any hollows or lines. Therefore, this treatment helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags, creating a brighter and more youthful look.

Is tear trough treatment painful?
Most patients find tear trough treatment to be well-tolerated, as the area is numbed beforehand using naming cream. Although you may experience slight discomfort or a mild pinching sensation, the treatment is generally quick and minimally painful. Afterward, you may have some mild swelling or bruising, but these effects typically resolve quickly.
What To Expect From Tear Trough Fillers?
After the anesthesia has taken effect for 15 minutes, the treatment becomes relatively painless. The filler is injected into the skin in a series of small bursts using a fine needle. Consequently, for 3-7 days after the treatment, you may notice bruising and lumps beginning to appear in the treated area. However, these side effects typically last only a few days and can easily be covered up with makeup if needed.
How long do the results of tear trough treatment last?
The results of tear trough treatment can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as the type of filler used, your skin’s response, and your lifestyle. To maintain the effects, follow-up treatments may be required every 6 to 12 months.
Before and After
Are There Any Risks with Tear Trough Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance within the body, which means that forming an adverse reaction to the filler is extremely rare. However, as with any invasive or non-invasive treatment, there are always risks, and tear trough fillers are no exception. Specifically, due to the nature of tear trough fillers being injections, the most common side effect is bleeding of the skin once the needle has been inserted. Additionally, there is the possibility of swelling or bruising, but these side effects are all temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
However, there are some risks, which although are uncommon, should be considered prior to treatment. These include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Asymmetry under the eyes
- Headaches and migraines
- Skin staining
- Puffiness due to over-correction
- Hyper-pigmentation post-inflammation
- Blindness (this is a rare side effect)
How long does the procedure take?
Tear trough treatment typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the individual and the extent of treatment required. This quick procedure means minimal disruption to your day, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Before and After
Are Tear Trough Fillers Suitable For Everyone?
Unfortunately, tear trough fillers are not suitable for everyone, particularly for those who have a known allergy to the product or are experiencing an infection in the area where the injection is to be administered. Therefore, the Doctor will carefully assess your suitability for this treatment during a consultation to ensure it is the right option for you.
Who is a good candidate for tear trough treatment?
Tear trough treatment is ideal for individuals who have noticeable under-eye hollows, dark circles, or wrinkles. It is particularly effective for people looking for a non-surgical solution to refresh their appearance. However, a consultation with one of our specialists at JR Medical will help determine if you are a suitable candidate.
How soon will I see results from tear trough treatment?
You will notice an immediate improvement in the under-eye area after the treatment, with the area looking smoother and more youthful. While some swelling may occur right after the procedure, the final results are typically visible within a few days as any initial swelling subsides.
