The Tear Trough (under-eye) treatment involves the application of a range of different products, administered by needle in the under-eye area, to alleviate hollowing and reduce the appearance of under-eye bags.
Whether its genetic factors, age related or a combination of both, when looking into a mirror, you may notice that your under-eye region is looking hollow and has dark shadows. A number of factors can contribute to under-eye hollowing, including fat and bone loss, skin pigmentation and underlying blood vessels.
When treating the under-eye area, there are several considerations. Firstly, it is important that the whole under-eye area is treated to ensure that the junction of the upper cheek and under-eye junction is as seamless as possible.
Secondly, it is essential to use what is termed ‘micro-droplets’ of product to ensure that there is no visibility of the product under the eyes.
Thirdly, it is essential that the right technique is determined to maximise the aesthetic outcome – this can be needle only or both needle and cannula.
Note: In addition to treating under-eye hollowing, if it is assessed that there is also a skin pigmentation problem, we have a range of skin treatments specifically designed to treat those concerns.
