“You look tired.” It’s the one comment nobody wants to hear, yet for those of us with hollows under our eyes (tear troughs), it’s a daily reality. This area is notoriously difficult to treat with eye creams alone because the “darkness” is often actually a shadow caused by a loss of fat and collagen.
The Treatment
Tear trough filler involves placing a very specific, lightweight gel into the hollow between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This smooths the transition and “plumps” the skin from within.
The Benefits
- Brighter Appearance: Instantly reduces the “sunken” look.
- Freshness: You’ll look well-rested, even on a Monday morning!
- Long-Lasting: Because there is little movement in this area, results can last up to 12 months.
Why Experience Matters
The skin under the eye is the thinnest on the entire body. It is an extremely advanced area to treat and carries risks if performed by the inexperienced. I use a cannula (a blunt-ended tube) for most tear trough treatments, which significantly reduces the risk of bruising and ensures the filler is placed at the correct depth for a smooth, lump-free finish.
