Tear Trough Fillers Treatment in London

At City Skin Clinic, we are dedicated to combining technical expertise with top quality products to ensure that we deliver excellent results whilst maintaining a focus on safety and quality assurance. Hence, we always use Teosyal Redensity II under eye filler for our under eye treatments. This is because it is licensed by the FDA for use in the under eye area, is a thin hyaluronic acid which reduces the risk of swelling, lumps or a Tindell appearance and contains a dermal restructuring complex. The latter is a combination of amino acids, anti-oxidants and vitamins which also reduce any dark pigmentation under the eyes.

At City Skin Clinic every treatment begins with a thorough consultation to design a treatment aimed at tailoring the treatment to each client's individual face, needs and goals. Prior to injection, the doctor will apply numbing cream to the area to ensure that your comfort is maximised. She will then use either a needle, microcannula or both to perform the treatment depending on the shape, size and extent of the tear trough deformity and correction needed. Our expert doctor injects a specialised dermal filler which is licensed for use in the undereye area to smooth out the separation between the under eye area and supporting cheek. This reduces the appearance of the hollow (also known as a tear trough) and simultaneously improves the visibility of any dark circles or under eye bags. These dermal fillers also stimulate collagen and contain micronutrients which help with dark pigmentation and thinness of skin in the under eye region.

The results of tear trough filler treatment are visible immediately but continue to improve with time. The peak effect is seen at 2-4 weeks after the initial treatment and results can last up to 12 months.

This depends on a number of factors including how prominent the tear trough deformity is. As a general rule, we do not inject more than 1ml of tear trough filler in total in the first appointment as the results continue to improve after treatment for 2-4 weeks. If you have a pronounced tear trough and clear separation between the cheek and under eye area, it is likely that you will need to have both tear trough and cheek fillers to achieve the optimal effect. If you only have a mild deformity and have good cheek volume, then in our experience 1 ml of tear trough filler is enough to correct both eyes. Clients who find themselves in between may be happy with a slight under correction as achieved by 1 ml of filler or they may opt for an additional 1 ml at follow up in 4-6 weeks' time. You will have an idea at the initial consultation which scenario is most likely applicable to you. We do however prefer a less is more approach hence may advise you to have 1 ml of filler in any event and assess at the follow up whether you should opt for additional treatment.
