What Is Tear Trough Filler?

Tear trough filler is a specialised injectable treatment that targets the area under the eye, where people often lose volume due to ageing, genetics, or stress. This hollow area can cast shadows and make you appear tired or older than you feel.

Our procedure uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers to gently add volume and hydrate the under-eye region, reducing visible dark circles, smoothing out depressions, and enhancing overall skin quality.

What Can Tear Trough Filler Treat?

Tear trough fillers are effective in treating a variety of cosmetic concerns within the under-eye region:

Hollow Eyes & Volume Loss

Fillers can help restore lost volume and correct the sunken appearance often associated with age or genetics.

Dark Circles

Reduces pigmentation and shadowing caused by thin skin and underlying blood vessels.

Tired-Looking Eyes

Instantly revitalises the under-eye zone to give a refreshed, youthful appearance.

colors-1

Under-Eye Bags & Puffiness

Genetic Tear Troughs

Addresses hereditary hollowness present even in younger patients.

This treatment offers a significant improvement in the appearance of tear troughs, delivering long-lasting results without the need for surgery.

Our expert team will evaluate your facial anatomy and skin type to design a personalised treatment plan for your procedure—one that guarantees safe, effective, and natural-looking results achieved with precision filler placement.

How Do Tear Trough Fillers Work?

Tear trough fillers work by replenishing lost volume beneath the eyes using dermal fillers, typically made from hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that attracts and retains moisture.​

When expertly injected, the filler blends seamlessly with your natural tissues, lifting the under-eye area and softening the hollow groove between the lower eyelid and cheek. This reduces dark circles and creates a more youthful, rested look.​

At the Institute of Medical Physics, we use only high-quality, FDA-approved fillers with optimal consistency for under-eye use. These specialised formulations ensure long-lasting results, minimal swelling, and a smooth, undetectable finish.​

Treatment Overview

Our tear trough filler procedure is quick, virtually painless, and tailored to you. Here’s what to expect from start to finish:​

Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. We assess your facial anatomy, under-eye structure, skin thickness, and lifestyle to determine the most effective approach.​

Preparation

The treatment area is gently cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.​

Injection

Using a fine needle or cannula, our aesthetic expert strategically injects the under-eye filler along the tear trough area. The filler is then massaged to distribute evenly.​

Aftercare

Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within 24–48 hours. You'll be given full aftercare instructions for optimal results.​

Most patients see immediate improvement with peak results developing over the following week.​

  • Duration: 20–30 minutes​

  • Downtime: Minimal
  • Results Last: 9–12 months​

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tear trough filler, and how does it work?

Tear trough filler is a type of dermal filler treatment used to restore volume in the under-eye area, targeting the hollow space between the lower eyelid and cheek. It works by injecting a filler into the tear trough deformity, instantly improving skin quality, reducing shadows, and achieving a more youthful appearance.

How soon will I see results?

You will notice initial results immediately after treatment. Mild swelling at the injection site is common and typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Final results usually become visible within 7 days.

Is tear trough filler safe?

Yes. Tear trough fillers are generally safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. Our clinic uses dermal fillers that are well-tolerated by the body. We also offer hyaluronidase treatments in rare cases where the filler needs to be dissolved.

Who is a good candidate for tear trough filler?

Good candidates include those with mild to moderate volume loss, visible tear troughs, or dark circles due to hollowing or shadowing. During your consultation, we assess your skin type, anatomy, and goals to determine if a tear trough treatment is the right option for you.

What are the side effects of tear trough fillers?

Some patients may experience temporary bruising and swelling, especially at the injection site. Less common side effects include lumpiness or mild asymmetry, which can be corrected during your review appointment. Our use of cannulas helps minimise trauma and risk.

How long do tear trough filler results last?

While individual results may vary, most patients enjoy long-lasting results for 9 to 12 months. Some opt for a top-up after 6 months for optimal results. The effects of tear trough filler are longer lasting in this area due to minimal muscle movement compared to other facial zones.

What type of dermal filler is used?

We use premium fillers specifically formulated for delicate areas like the tear trough. These are softer, more fluid fillers designed to provide smooth, natural correction without puffiness or irregularities.

Can tear trough filler be reversed?

Yes. In rare cases where you’re not happy with the outcome or experience excessive swelling, the filler can be safely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is part of our aftercare and safety protocol, ensuring peace of mind.

How long is the treatment time?

The treatment time is approximately 20–30 minutes, making it an ideal lunchtime procedure with minimal downtime. You can return to most daily activities straight after.

Will the results look natural?

Absolutely. Our aesthetic goal is to enhance, not alter. The tear trough filler is placed with extreme care using advanced filler placement techniques that ensure your results are balanced, subtle, and flattering to your features.
