Why choose tear trough rejuvenation?
The ageing process means we lose elasticity in our skin leading to sagginess but we also lose volume as fatty tissues start to break down over time. In the under eye area this leads to an effect of hollowing or the creation of what’s known as a tear trough. Over time, more of a shadowing or dark patch will become more and more prominent making patient’s often look older than they really are and adding to a gaunt or skeletal look.
For patients who are struggling with the ageing appearance of under-eye shadows or bags, it can be frustrating. Some might even contemplate surgery, which is a drastic step with a high price tag and long recovery.
Treating tear troughs is a sophisticated treatment which can offer excellent results for the patient. It is not widely offered as it is quite an advanced application of non-surgical treatments. Indeed, many practitioners just concentrate on treating crow’s feet, but neglecting the under-eye area means that patients are not receiving the full benefit of treatments available.
Treatment is available with SkinViva’s expert clinicians, who have been trained and mentored by Clinical Director Dr Tim Pearce in his own specially developed techniques.
Treating the under eye area can result in a fresher, more youthful look in one of the key areas that our friends and family all tend to notice – our eyes.

How do dermal fillers improve tear troughs?
Treating tear troughs with dermal filler
The area between the lower eyelid and upper cheek is referred to as the tear trough – think of the area where your tears glide into when you cry. As we get older this area becomes deeper, darker and more noticeable with dark circles or shadows developing.
The SkinViva practitioners use a smooth injectable dermal filler gel in order to raise the hollow/valley just beneath your eye to be back at the level of the surrounding tissue. This has the effect of smoothing your skin and reducing the shadow, dark area, and impression of hollow eyes.
Treating the tear troughs is an advanced non-surgical procedure and the experience of the clinician is key in order to prevent lumps, bumps and unwanted side effects. This is why all the SkinViva clinicians are specifically trained in how to carry out effective tear trough rejuvenation procedures.

Dr Tim on...tear trough rejuvenation
Dr Tim talks about his love of treating tear troughs with dermal filler
Dr Tim Pearce, MBChB BSc (hons) MRCGP particularly enjoys this area of treatment as he finds the results so rewarding:
“The treatment of the shadow that develops under the eyes has become one of my favourite areas to treat.
Many clients do not realise it is even possible until they have had a detailed consultation.
The eyes are the most delicate area of the face to inject so it is important to inject with great care and precision in order not to damage the delicate tissues.
Clients often comment on how slowly and gently the injections are applied.
Despite the sensitivity of the eye area, the slowness of injections makes it a surprisingly comfortable treatment experience with some reporting that it was actually without any pain or discomfort.
One of the best things about this treatment is the naturalness of the result, and how it instantly makes you look less tired and generally fresher. Because there is so little movement in the area, the treatment also lasts a very long time.”
