Tear Trough Fillers for Under Eye Hollowing
The tear trough develops under the eye area from volume loss in the area. The face fat pads in youth gradually deflate and descend the face. This leads to a hollowing and when light falls onto your face creates a shadow or tear trough. The formation of tear troughs can worsen the appearance of under-eye bags. These factors combine to give a more tired and drawn look. When used for refreshing under-eye hollows, the term tear trough filler is used, although the under-eye filler is used interchangeably. Tear trough fillers are often combined with cheek filler to optimise results.
- The volume loss process starts in the mid to late ’30s.
- Some people have less fat to start with, and the appearance of tear troughs can appear earlier.
- Tear trough fillers help lift and lessen the appearance of the under-eye hollows.
- The tear trough area’s skin is relatively thin, so care and experience are necessary to treat this area to achieve a good result. Always check how much experience your Doctor has with under-eye fillers!
Under Eye Fillers for Dark Circles
There are three leading causes for dark circles under the eyes: volume loss, pigmentation in the skin or dark vascular circles. Vascular dark circles are caused by superficial blood vessels visible under the thin lower lid skin. Each cause has a different approach; only dark circles from volume loss respond to under-eye filler treatment. Dark circles from pigmentation and dark vascular circles are treated with a laser.
Under Eye Fillers For Eye Wrinkles.
Eye wrinkles appear all around the eye because the eye is an expressive area of the face. But wrinkles under the eye generally combine volume loss and wrinkling from expression. So under-eye fillers are commonly used for under-eye wrinkles. Often muscle relaxing treatments are used with under-eye filler to treat wrinkles.
Under Eye Fillers for Eye Bags
Tear trough fillers can also help under-eye bags, although not everyone is suitable for this non-surgical approach. And it can worsen the situation if there is a lot of puffiness. With the refined appearance of eye bags, blepharoplasty is indicated.

Let Us Sum It Up
Under-eye fillers address several cosmetic concerns, including tear troughs, dark circles, eye bags and under-eye wrinkles. The best under-eye filler varies, depending on your problems. Under-eye fillers are called tear trough fillers when used to treat the undereye area from hollowing. Other treatments are often combined with under-eye fillers. For example, cheek fillers are commonly combined with tear trough fillers when treating hollowing, and when treating under-eye wrinkles, they can be combined with wrinkle injections. Under-eye fillers do not address pigment or vascular causes of dark circles. Sometimes under-eye bags will require surgery. Our Doctors provide a free assessment to assess your suitability for under-eye filler treatment.
