What are tear trough fillers?

The tear trough is the sunken area below the eyes that causes dark circles. The tear trough deformity is very common amongst both men and women and forms due to gradual changes in the skin, fat and muscles and ligaments over time. The rate at which this deformity develops is dependent on a variety of ageing factors, including genetics. These changes ultimately result in a depression or groove with shadowing being cast in that area when light falls on the face. By lifting this groove we are able to eliminate the shadowing and dark circles and restore fresher, less tried looking eyes.

The procedure is performed using a single cannula via a single entry point which minimises bruising and swelling. The procedure is very tolerable and takes no more than 15 minutes

The filler used to treat the tear trough should always be soft low density filler, similar to the surrounding tissue of the undereye area. Soft fillers tend to break down faster than more dense fillers. However, most of the patients see results extending beyond 12 months.

Dermal Filler

Filler enhances facial features or reverses the signs of ageing by restoring volume loss. See our client results here, or explore services below.

What is filler?

Filler or dermal filler is a gel-like substance that is composed of Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring structural protein that exists in the soft tissues of your body (such as the skin, the joints and the eyes). Filler can be injected into areas of the face or body to reverse the signs of ageing or enhance a person’s features.

How does it work?

The ageing process involves changes that occur across all layers of the face including the skin, fat ligaments and even bone. As a result, we lose facial volume and structure which leads to areas of hollowing, deep folds, jowls and skin laxity. By injecting HA in appropriate quantities we can restore areas of volume loss, lift areas of laxity and redefine lost contours, leaving you looking more refreshed and rejuvenated.

What does the procedure involve?

Filler procedures involve the precise injection of small quantities of HA just beneath the skin. There are different injection techniques depending on which filler treatment you have and the desired effect that is to be achieved. On the whole filler treatments are quick to perform and very tolerable. Local anaesthetic creams or injections can be used to make you more comfortable when treating slightly more sensitive areas, such as the lips or the nose, or if you have a phobia of needles.

A common concern with dermal filler injections is the fear of looking puffy or overfilled. This only occurs when treatments are conducted where there is little or no indication, or when too much filler has been injected. This undesirable outcome is therefore easily avoidable by injecting appropriate quantities of filler in patients that will benefit from treatment. At Carriages, we pride ourselves on natural looking undetectable results, ensuring we keep you looking and feeling like your best self.

What can I expect after my treatment?

Immediately after the procedure, there may be some redness, swelling or very mild bruising at the injection points but this occurs infrequently and will usually settle within 48 hours.

The effect of the filler is immediate so results will be visible straight away. You can expect results to last from 9 to 18 months depending on the area being treated and the density of filler used.
