Tired of having tired eyes? Want a more refreshed wide awake look? Tear trough filler is a great treatment option that improves your eye hollows restoring bright wide awake eyes. Here’s out top ten things you should know before having tear trough fillers in the UK.

1.Is tear trough filler painful?

Many patients find under eye filler procedure relatively pain less- most reputable UK clinics will use dermal filler that containts lidocaine to improve patient comfort as well as administered the product using a cannula, which helps to reduce risks and improve comfort. A topical numbing cream is normally applied pre-procedure to numb the area prior to treatment.

2.When will I see results from my tear trough treatment?

Tear trough filler treatment results are instant, meaning you can see the results immediately after the procedure. This is another positive benefit of dermal fillers as patients leave the clinic with the results within 45 minutes without the need for surgery or discomfort of stitches. You can return to work same day and resume normal activities 24 hours after you treatment.

3.What are the risks of tear trough filler?

Like many cosmetic treatments there are risks, however many risks are avoidable by attending a regulated medical clinic for tear trough filler.

The most common side effect from tear trough filler is bruising, swelling and potentially slight lumps or bumps under the eyes.

Other more serious risks from tear trough filler include:

• Blindness
• Vascular Occlusion
• Brusing and swelling
• Overfilling (Sausage roll appearance or jelly roll)
• Poor product placement
• Incorrect product injected

Although these risks range from mild to severe, dermal fillers have a high safety record and in the correct hands, tear trough filler treatment is releatively safe.

4.How long does tear trough filler last?

Tear trough filler lasts anywhere from 9-12 months depending on the quality and brand of the dermal filler injected. Aftercare and looking after your tear trough fillers helps extend the life of your results. We offer a dermal filler aftercare to help our patients get the best longevity from their tear trough filler.

5.What filler is used for tear trough treatment?

The type of filler commonly used for tear trough filler is made of HA (hyaluronic acid) which is produced in our bodies. HA dermal filler  is reversable and non-permanent making it a great option for those who do not want permanent results or who may find they want it dissolved.

6.How much does tear trough treatment cost?

Tear trough filler prices vary clinc to clinic depending on the qualifications of the injector, products used, amount used and location of the clinic. If a price is “too good to be true” is more than likely is. Deals on these types of treatments can be risky- we recommend using a regulated body such as save face or review sites from real patients to ensure the clinic is safe and ethical.

7. Can tear trough treatment be combined with Botox?

Yes! This is a very popular and high impact comination treatment. We usually recommend the two as one targets fine lines and wrinkles while tear trough filler targets volume loss. The treatment can be same day in the same appointment.

8. Which treatments improve the under eye area?

There are several treatments that can improve the under eye area in a combination or holistic approach to the eyes. At VIVA we offer Lumi eyes skin booster for bright refreshed eyes, dermal fillers for tear trough fillers, PRP, Botox for the eye-area and hydrafacial.

9. Who is suitable for tear trough fillers?

Anyone who is unhappy with dark circles or deep shadows under their eyes from volume-loss or hollowing under the eyes. This may be the cause of mid face volume loss so a face to face consultation is important to ensure the correct treatment is selected.

10. What are the benefits of tear trough treatment?

There are many benefits to tear trough filler such as:

• Less tired eyes
• More awake refreshed eye area
• Improve skin hydrations and health
• Improved fine lines and wrinkles
• Improved dark circles

Tear trough filler improves not only the volume loss under the eye but can also improve the fine lines and wrinkles in the area.
