Tear Trough Filler In Cheshire
The tear trough is a normal anatomical feature between the lower eyelid and cheek. In some people this area can look more prominent, hollow or dark. This can be due to genetics or the ageing process. The skin is very thin in this area and there is very little fat, so as we age, further loss of volume and thinning of the skin can contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, hollowness and dark circles. People will often complain that they look tired and tear trough filler can be very effective at restoring volume and reducing dark circles. Tear trough filler can also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The end result is looking just like you but more rejuvenated, fresh, youthful and less fatigued.
Tear trough filler can be a tricky area to treat and therefore it is vital that you have a consultation with a medical professional. Dr Kasia will first assess the cause of your concern and whether tear trough filler is the right treatment for you. This is an essential step to ensure optimal results and also reduce the risk of side effects.
Dr Kasia will give her honest opinion as to which treatments may help manage your concerns. It may be that tear trough filler is appropriate but it may be that other treatments may be better suited for you. Dr Kasia will give you treatment options and will work together with you to develop a bespoke plan.
In some cases other procedures are more appropriate such as Nucleofil (great if there is under eye puffiness), Light Eyes (good for dark circles) or microneedling (essential if there is skin laxity, loss of elasticity). If you want to find out which treatment would work best for you book in for a consultation.

Tear trough fillers are made of hyaluronic acid and gently plump the under eye area by binding to water molecules. It is important that the correct filler is used in this very delicate area to achieve the best results in reducing hollowness and dark circles. The filler will also help to boost collagen production and improve the overall skin quality.
Dr Kasia uses numbing cream on the skin and the filler also contains local anaesthetic. Dr Kasia uses a cannula to place the filler, which is the most delicate and safe way. There is usually minimal pain during the procedure.
As with all fillers there is always a chance of some swelling and bruising but it most cases it is insignificant. Dr Kasia would always advise not having tear trough filler done within 2 weeks of an important event but it should not impact on day to day commitments.
