What Are Tear Troughs and How Can They Be Treated with Fillers?
If you’ve ever felt that your eyes look tired no matter how much sleep you get, or that dark circles and hollows are making you look older, you’re not alone. These concerns are often linked to the tear trough area. They can be addressed with subtle, natural-looking filler treatments, designed to restore a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Tear Troughs are the space between your lower eyelid and upper cheek
Understanding Tear Troughs
The tear trough is the area between your lower eyelid and upper cheek. As I age, this region can develop hollows, dark shadows, and fine lines due to:
Volume Loss: A natural reduction in fat and collagen over time.
Thinning Skin: Making underlying blood vessels more visible.
Genetics: Some people are naturally predisposed to hollowness in this area.
These factors can create a shadowed or sunken appearance, often contributing to the look of dark circles or persistent tiredness. Tear trough fillers are a non-surgical, effective solution to these concerns.
Fancy being a tear trough filler model?
I will be training in tear trough filler in early 2025 and I require 5 models to take part. If you think you’ll be a good fit, pop me an email and we can have a quick chat to see if you’re a good candidate.
How Are Tear Trough Fillers Used?
Tear trough fillers involve the careful injection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers into the hollow area under the eyes. This treatment:
Restores Volume: Plumping the area to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
Brightens Shadows: Reducing the appearance of dark circles caused by light reflecting in hollow areas.
Hydrates the Skin: Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture, improving the overall texture and elasticity of the skin.
The treatment is quick, typically taking around 30-45 minutes, with little to no downtime. Results are immediate, and you can expect them to last 9-12 months with proper aftercare.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Tear Trough Fillers?
Tear trough fillers are ideal for those who:
Have dark circles caused by volume loss rather than pigmentation.
Experience a hollow or sunken appearance under the eyes.
Want a non-surgical option to refresh their look.
It’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate for this treatment. If dark circles are caused by hyperpigmentation or lifestyle factors, alternative treatments may be more suitable. During your consultation at Joy by Sophie, I’ll carefully assess your concerns and provide tailored advice.
