Most doctors use hyaluronic acid dermal filler to treat the tear trough area. It is a naturally occurring ingredient that can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water.
The fillers plump up and smooth out and plump up the area around the eye and orbital bone, or eye socket, reducing the appearance of tear troughs and minimising shadows under the eye resulting in fresher and more youthful eyes, and greater confidence in your appearance.
The benefit of hyaluronic acid is that it can be easily dissolved with hyaluronidase – an enzyme already found naturally occurring in our bodies – if you do not like the results or want the effects reduced.
The undereye area is one of the most common areas where patients request a further tweak, so you may be asked to return to the clinic after two weeks to discuss the possibility of adding a few more drops of filler or using hyaluronidase to flatten out any minor puffiness.
