Under Eye (Tear Trough) Fillers Treatment in Singapore

Are you tired of dealing with under eye hollows or tear troughs? These sunken areas beneath the eyes can make you look tired, haggard, and older than your actual age.

Trust us when we say that it’s not just about getting enough sleep or drinking more water – sometimes our genetics and ageing play a big role in the formation of tear troughs. But fear not, as an aesthetic clinic in Singapore, specialising in under eye (tear trough), we’ve got you covered.

What are Tear Troughs?

Tear troughs refer to the creases or indentations that form between your lower eyelid and cheek. They are caused by a loss of volume, which can be due to genetics, ageing, lack of sleep and hydration, or even allergies. When this area loses its natural cushioning, the skin becomes thinner and the underlying blood vessels become more visible, resulting in a hollowed and darkened appearance.

Causes of Tear Troughs

  • Genetics

    As mentioned earlier, our genetics can play a role in the formation of tear troughs. Some people are simply born with less fat pads or bone structure that results in prominent hollows under their eyes.

  • Ageing

    As we age, our facial fat pads also start to shrink and descend, causing the under eye area to lose volume.

  • Lack Of Sleep And Hydration

    Lack of sleep and hydration can also contribute to the appearance of tear troughs. When we don’t get enough rest or drink enough water, our skin becomes dehydrated and loses its elasticity, making the tear troughs more prominent.

  • Allergies

    Allergies can also cause inflammation in the under eye area, resulting in a sunken and puffy appearance.

Do you know that tear trough deformities can be classified into two groups?

  • Inherited deformities: These are genetic deformities that can be seen in individuals as young as their 20s.
  • Acquired deformities: These occur due to ageing, environmental factors, or lifestyle habits. They can start appearing as early as the mid-30s.

What Is Under Eye (Tear Trough) Filler?

Under-eye fillers, also known as tear trough fillers, are dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid fillers plump the area, diminishing the hollows, restoring volume to the sunken eyes, which reduces the appearance of eye bag and dark circles. 

Dermal fillers contain active ingredients that stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in volume addition and skin rejuvenation. Different dermal fillers contain distinct active ingredients, with the most common being hyaluronic acid, poly-lactic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite.

The procedure also improves the skin’s texture by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, lifting sagging skin, enhancing the overall appearance of the eye areas. This procedure is minimally invasive and requires little downtime. The results are instantaneous, making it a popular treatment for those looking to improve their under eye bags and dark circles.

Benefits of Under Eye (Tear Trough) Filler

The benefits of under eye (Tear Trough) fillers includes:

  • Reduction in wrinkles, puffiness fine lines and dark circles around the eyes

  • Improved overall facial appearance; brighter and more alert eyes; and a more youthful-looking face

  • Restore lost volume in the tear-trough area, effectively reducing sunken eyes

How does Under Eye (Tear Trough) Fillers Improve Your Eye Bags & Dark Eye Circles?

The hyaluronic acid used in these fillers is a natural substance found in our bodies, making it safe for most individuals. As we age, our body’s production of hyaluronic acid (a natural substance that gives our skin its plumpness and hydration) decreases, resulting in a loss of volume in certain areas such as the tear troughs. By injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the area, we can restore the natural cushioning and smooth out any hollows or indentations.

One of the main benefits of using fillers for tear trough treatment is its ability to hydrate the skin in that area. Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to retain moisture, so not only does it add volume but it also keeps the skin hydrated and plump. This helps to improve the appearance of dark circles, as dehydrated skin can make the under eye area look more sunken and shadowed.

Which Tear Trough treatment for Eye Bags & Dark Eye Circles is best for me?

There are various types of fillers that can be used for tear trough treatment, such as Juvederm and Restylane. When considering which filler is best for you, it’s important to take into account the specific concerns and needs of your under eye area.

Factors such as the severity of your tear troughs, skin type, and desired longevity of results can all play a role in determining the most suitable filler for you.

The treatment option for your eye bags depends on how they are formed as well:

  • If you have sunken eyes or a tear trough with deep fine static lines that appear without movement, then dermal fillers would be the most appropriate solution.

  • If you’re experiencing sagging skin under your eyes, collagen-stimulating treatments like Thermage, Fotona SmoothEye Laser, or Ultherapy might be better suited for you.

     

As eye bags can be formed due to age and loss of collagen. As we age, the tissues around the eyes weaken, and fat deposits can accumulate under our eyes leading to puffiness. At this point, it becomes difficult for the skin to bounce back as quickly as it used to. Hence, our doctor at Cienna Aesthetics may recommend combining the tear trough filler with skin tightening treatments such as Ultherapy, Skinboosters or Thermage.

It’s always best to consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess your individual case. The doctor will review your medical history, skin condition, and expectations before recommending an appropriate treatment plan.

How Is The Under Eye (Tear Trough) Filler Treatment Done?​

When it comes to getting under eye fillers, consultation with a qualified practitioner is key. During this consultation, your doctor will assess your tear troughs and discuss your expectations and concerns. This is also a good opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the treatment.

On the day of the treatment, your doctor will clean the under eye area and may apply a numbing cream to minimise any discomfort. The filler will then be injected into the specific areas that require volume, using a small needle or cannula. The entire process usually takes around 30 minutes and results are visible immediately.

An experienced practitioner will use filler injection techniques to smooth out wrinkles, while also creating a contour that helps to open up the eyes. This type of treatment can be used for both men and women and is suitable for those aged over 21.

Recovery Timeline and Tips for a Successful Recovery

One of the great things about under eye fillers is that there is minimal downtime. Some patients may experience:

  • slight swelling,
  • bruising, or
  • redness at the injection sites.

But these usually subside within a few days. To speed up the recovery process and ensure the best results, here are some tips to follow:

  • Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Use an ice pack on the area for 15-20 minutes at a time to reduce swelling.
  • Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights after treatment.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause sweating for 24 hours.
  • Follow any specific aftercare instructions given by your doctor.

Maintenance and Longevity of Results

Under eye fillers are not permanent, but they can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. To maintain the results, patients usually schedule touch-up treatments every 9-12 months.

In addition to regular touch-ups, it’s important to take care of your skin with a good skincare routine and lifestyle habits such as getting enough sleep and staying hydrated. This can help prolong the results of your tear trough treatment.
