Tear troughs refer to the hollows under the eye. They can be genetic but also become deeper as we age. Deeper hollows create a darker shadow, giving rise to ‘dark circles.’ This can give rise to tired and sunken appearance

Placing dermal filler into this area can restore volume, reduce hollowing and give rise to a brighter and more rejuvenated under eye. 

This treatment is often combined with midface filler to give a seamless transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.  

Common Misconception:

Patients often assume that tear trough filler will remove any hyperpigmentation in the area. Unfortunately this is not the case. It will however reduce the shadowing caused by hollowing, and thereby give a brighter appearance.
