When asked to name a cosmetic treatment that helps eliminate wrinkles and gives your face a smoother and more well rested complexion the average person may say Botox, a facelift, or, at a push chemical peels.
Tear trough dermal fillers are probably not the first thing that would spring to mind, which is a shame as they are one of the most effective, low risk, and minimally invasive treatments of the market that can be used to tackle wrinkles and dark circles in the under eye area.
The tear trough, just below the lower eyelid but above the cheek is one of the most troublesome areas of the face and one of the first to show the drop in collagen production that occurs as we enter our late 20s.
Hollow eyes and under-eye circles can leave you looking tired or sad when your face it at rest, even if you are feeling the complete opposite and many people understandable turn to cosmetics to reverse these effects.
There is no more effective way of doing just that that a treatment of tear trough fillers, a non-invasive procedure that involves hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers being inserted around the orbital bone, adding volume, smoothing sagging skin and eliminating shadows.
What do tear trough fillers do?
Tear trough fillers add volume to the under eye area, covering up dark blood vessels and filling out hollow sockets to reduce the appearance of shadows.
Even better, the injection of hyaluronic acid will naturally boost hydration and collagen production in the area, leading to healthier looking clear skin around the eye. Hyaluronic acid is known for its absorbent nature, and can hold as much as 1000x its weight in water meaning the effects of injection will only improve in the weeks following treatment.
There are very few potential draw backs to tear trough fillers which makes it call the more surprising that many people have never even heard of them and the treatment is less popular than other injectables such as Botox.
This is changing fast, however, and we have seen the popularity of dermal fillers soar over the past few years, with interest in tear trough fillers expected to grow rapidly in the years to come.
What are the biggest benefits of tear trough fillers
Tackling dark circles
Dark circles under eyes are some of the most annoying aesthetic problems to experience, drawing constant comments from friends and family alike about how you need to get more rest and are looking a bit tired.
If you just can’t seem to get rid of dark circles no matter how well rested and hydrated you may be, they may well be a consequence of hollow eye sockets and tear trough fillers the only way to achieve relief.
Limited downtime
There is no real downtime associated with tear trough fillers and you can return to work immediately after leaving the clinic.
Your doctor will provide you with some basic aftercare advice such as avoiding makeup for a day or two, but this is far less disruptive procedure than surgery and even other non-surgical treatments.
Few side effects
The hyaluronic acid based nature of tear trough fillers means that the risk of side effects is slim. This is a substance your body is used to dealing with and is very unlikely to cause any problems by adding more.
There may be a bit of sensitivity or soreness around the injection site for a few days but within a week you should feel completely back to normal, with a fantastic new look to go along with it.
Immediate and ever improving results
From the moment you leave the clinic your tear trough fillers will begin to work their magic and without just a couple of days you achieve the rejuvenated look you have been dreaming of. Even better as hyaluronic acid absorbs a huge amount of moisture, up to 1000x its weight, the plump and healthy appearance will only improve over time until the tear trough filler Glasgow eventually begins to dissolve.
Non-permanent results
Seen by most as a negative, but the fact that this is not a permanent filler, and it will dissolve over time is also a relief and a reassurance to nervous and first time patients who are concerned about being stuck with an appearance that they do not like.
If you are not comfortable with the way that the filler makes you look, unlikely but not impossible, you have two choices, wait for it to naturally dissolve and your original appearance to come back, or if you hate it completely, visit a cosmetic doctor and they will be able to dissolve it for you.
We find that the majority of people’s only wish is that the filler lasted longer and can’t wait to return for a top-up treatment as soon as they need it.
