Tear Trough Treatment 

The tear trough dermal filler treatment involves the precise injection of a low-density filler into the area beneath the eyes, commonly referred to as the tear trough or dark circles. This region often develops a hollowed and tired appearance due to the natural aging process, which causes thinning of the orbital fat pad and loss of surrounding bone structure.

By targeting the Sub-orbicularis oculi orbital fat pad (SOOF) with dermal filler, the procedure offers immediate and noticeable rejuvenation, resulting in a fresher and more youthful facial appearance.
 

Prior to the treatment, a local anesthetic cream is applied to the under-eye area to ensure minimal discomfort. At NWIA, we emphasize safety and precision by utilizing advanced microcannula techniques for administering tear trough fillers. Unlike traditional needles, microcannulas are blunt-tipped instruments that significantly reduce the risk of damaging blood vessels around the eye. This method allows for smoother navigation through the tissue layers, minimizing the potential for vessel puncture and enhancing the overall safety of the procedure.

The tear trough filler treatment is a simple and effective way to rejuvenate the under-eye area without the need for surgery, providing patients with refreshed and revitalized eyes. The results are not only immediate but also long-lasting, typically enduring for several months and contributing to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

Suitable candidates for tear trough dermal filler treatment typically exhibit specific symptoms or concerns that can be effectively addressed by the procedure. These include:

​

1. Dark Circles: Individuals with persistent dark circles under the eyes, often caused by shadowing from volume loss, can benefit from the treatment.

2. Hollow Eyes: Those experiencing a sunken or hollow appearance under the eyes due to thinning of the orbital fat pad and loss of bone structure can achieve a fuller, more youthful look with fillers.

3. Under-Eye Bags: Mild to moderate under-eye bags that create a tired or aged appearance can be minimised, resulting in a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek.

4. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Candidates with fine lines and wrinkles in the tear trough area can see improvements as the filler helps to smooth and plump the skin.

5. General Tired Appearance: People who generally look fatigued or older than their age due to the hollowing or darkening of the tear troughs can benefit from the rejuvenating effects of the treatment.
