Some people look tired no matter how much sleep they get. Concealer settles into the crease, photographs exaggerate the shadow, and eye creams make no difference. Tear trough filler treats the cause: the hollow beneath the eye that casts the shadow in the first place.
London has hundreds of clinics offering under-eye filler, and quality varies widely. The under-eye is one of the most delicate areas of the face to treat, so choosing the right clinic matters more here than almost anywhere else. At VIVA Skin Clinics we’ve been performing tear trough filler in London for over 12 years, at our clinics in Chelsea and Fitzrovia.
Tear trough filler places a small amount of soft hyaluronic acid filler into the hollow beneath the eye. This lifts the depression, so it no longer casts the shadow that reads as a dark circle. It’s suited to:
Results show immediately, settle at two to four weeks, and generally last 9–18 months For full details on how the treatment works, read our tear trough filler treatment guide.

These before-and-after photos show real VIVA patients treated at our London clinics. Results vary from person to person, and your practitioner will talk you through what’s realistic at your consultation.
Tear trough filler in London typically costs between £175 and £900 per ml. A very low price can mean an inexperienced practitioner or a lower-quality product, and in the under-eye that’s a real risk. At VIVA, tear trough filler starts from £399 per ml, with payment plans available. See our full price list.
Every new patient receives a free one-to-one consultation before booking. If tear trough filler isn’t the right answer for your concern, we’ll tell you and discuss what would work better.
Treatment is carried out only by our medically qualified doctors and nurses. We numb the area, use a cannula technique, place small volumes conservatively, and keep hyaluronidase on site alongside a documented complications protocol.
You can return to work straight afterwards. Some swelling or bruising in the first few days is normal, so if you have an event coming up, allow two to three weeks.

As we age our under eye area may become deeper and more shadowed giving the appearance of dark circles and a tired looking appearance. At the same time, our elastin and collagen production slows down causing our skin to thin. In areas such as the under eyes, the skin is already thin- with our skin thinning in this area more of the blood supply is exposed casuing a purple hue under the eye.
With age and thinning skin patients may also notice more wrinkles appear around the tear trough areas, making the face look more aged.
