Tear Trough 101: What you need to know

tear trough filler uk

With all of life’s commitments and obligations, it’s common for us to feel and look tired or run down. One of the most common reasons we look tired are our tear troughs. Today, we will take you through what you need to know about Tear Troughs and how to treat them.

What are Tear Troughs?

Commonly known as under eye bags, tear troughs are deep crease or hollow that form under our eyes, between our bottom eye lid and cheek. These hollows tend to form due to lost volume and can make us appear tired or older than we are. Deep tear troughs can also be worsened by genetics.

How can we treat tear troughs?

We can tackle deep under eye bags with dermal filler injections. Dermal Fillers are made up of a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid. When injected into the skin, these fillers work to restore the volume our skin has lost, making the skin appear fuller and visually reducing the appearance of tear troughs.

Is Tear Trough Filler safe?

Tear trough fillers are extremely safe when administered by a qualified doctor. The treatment is non-invasive and a much safer alternative to surgery. There are risks involved, particularly when the treatment is performed by an unqualified individual. This means it is really important to do your research before getting the treatment.

All cosmetic injections at M1 Med Beauty including tear trough filler, are performed by our qualified M1 doctors, who are highly-experienced and GMC-registered.

How long does Tear Trough Filler last?

Typically, the treatment takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. Results are not permanent, and usually last between 4 and 6 months depending on your body’s natural processes.
