If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Why do I still look tired, even after 8 hours of sleep?” you’re not alone.
For many people, under-eye hollows (also known as tear troughs) are one of the first places where age, stress, or genetics show up. And no amount of concealer seems to fix it.
That’s where tear trough filler comes in, a gentle, effective way to brighten tired eyes and soften that hollowed look. But as with all aesthetic treatments, it’s not about jumping in, it’s about understanding what’s right for you.
Let’s walk you through it.
What Are Tear Troughs, Exactly?
The “tear trough” is the groove that runs from the inner corner of your eye, diagonally toward your cheek. Some people naturally have more prominent tear troughs, while others develop them over time due to:
- Volume loss under the eyes
- Skin thinning with age
- Genetics
- Lifestyle factors like poor sleep or dehydration
The result? Shadows, hollows, and a “tired” or aged appearance, even when you’re feeling fine.
How Does Tear Trough Filler Work?
Tear trough filler involves a small amount of dermal filler (typically hyaluronic acid) injected into the under-eye area to add volume and reduce the appearance of hollows.
When performed correctly, it can:
- Brighten the under-eye area
- Soften shadows
- Blend the lid-cheek junction for a smoother, more rested appearance
What Makes Tear Trough Filler Tricky?
Not every clinician offers tear trough filler and there’s a reason for that. It’s one of the most delicate areas to treat.
Why?
Because the under-eye skin is thin, and the anatomy is complex. It requires:
- Precise technique
- A conservative approach
- Clinical understanding of facial structure
At Treeline Aesthetics, our treatments are only performed by trained dental clinicians with advanced qualifications in facial aesthetics, so you’re in safe hands.
Is It Right for You?
You might be a good candidate for tear trough filler if:
- You have hollowing under the eyes (rather than puffiness)
- Your skin isn’t extremely thin or loose in the area
- You’re looking for subtle brightness, not dramatic volume
💡 Important: If you have under-eye bags, filler may not be the right solution. In some cases, it can make puffiness appear worse. That’s why a consultation is key, we’ll always give you honest advice.
What to Expect from the Treatment
Here’s how the process typically works:
- Consultation – We assess your facial structure, medical history, and expectations
- Treatment – The procedure usually takes 20 – 30 minutes, with little discomfort
- Results – You’ll see a difference almost immediately, with full results in 1 – 2 weeks
- Downtime – Mild swelling or bruising is possible, but usually settles within a few days
How Long Does It Last?
Tear trough filler typically lasts 6 to 12 months, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and how fast your body metabolises the product.
We always start with less, then build gradually if needed. Our philosophy is:
✨ You can always add more, but you can’t take it back once it’s in.
Final Thoughts: Should You Do It?
If your under-eyes are making you feel less confident or you’re tired of hearing, “Are you okay? You look tired,” tear trough filler might be worth exploring.
But don’t rush it. This is one of those treatments where experience, caution, and honesty matter more than anything.
At Treeline Aesthetics, we’ll help you understand if you’re a good candidate, talk you through the options, and only if it’s right, carry out the treatment with precision and care.
