Tear Trough Injections
What are Tear Troughs?
Tear troughs are semi-circular creases/depressions which start at the nose and run along the bottom of the lower eyelid just above the cheek bone. These depressions can produce the illusion of darkening around the eyes resulting in dark circles or tired eyes. As we age, the eyelid above and cheek below begin to sag however the depression cannot sag with the rest of the facial skin due to its ligamentous attachment to the bone of the eye socket. This results in the depression deepening and the shadow and dark circle becoming more noticeable.

What is Tear Trough Treatment?
When tear trough deformities are present, an injectable dermal filler such as Juvéderm Ultra can be used to correct them. Juvéderm Ultra is a non-animal based sterile gel consisting of biodegradable hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is present in all living tissue and works by attracting water molecules to the surrounding collagen fibres resulting in plumper, hydrated skin.
What is the Treatment Like?
The filler is injected with a very fine micro needle under the skin surface along the line of the hollow. An anaesthetic cream will be applied to the area for 30 minutes. After the treatment, the area is then gently massaged by the Doctor.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Although uncommon, possible adverse effects may include:
Injection-related reactions. The may be some redness in the treated area which usually resolves after a few hours. Swelling is also seen immediately after the treatment and can last up to 1 week. Bruising can occur which if significant may last 5-7 days. During this time make-up can be applied.
Injection-related reactions. The may be some redness in the treated area which usually resolves after a few hours. Swelling is also seen immediately after the treatment and can last up to 1 week. Bruising can occur which if significant may last 5-7 days. During this time make-up can be applied.
Allergic reaction. The risk of an allergic reaction is extremely rare and they are usually self-limiting. Allergic reactions can however be treated with oral or injectable corticosteroids or the product removed using an injectable enzyme (hyaluronidase).
Contour irregularities can occur unless massage is performed. You should massage the area firmly against the eye socket for 2 minutes, 3 times per day, using moisturiser or Vaseline to prevent dragging of the skin. This should be done for 2 days after the day of treatment. Allow the area to settle, and do not massage on the day of treatment, unless specifically requested.
Before the Treatment
Do not have this treatment performed immediately prior to an important event. Potential bruising and swelling should be taken into account before booking treatment. Remember that if you bruise, it can be covered but it may still be discernible.
Before the Treatment
How Long Will the Effects Last?
The results typically last up to 12 months although the exact length of time will depend on the structure of your skin and other factors such as lifestyle, age and the degree of perfection demanded by the individual. Additional touch up treatments can be performed at any time after the initial treatment.
Who is Not Suitable for the Treatment?
Dermal fillers have not been tested in pregnant or nursing women, and are therefore not advised.
