Tear Trough Tear Trough Treatment is a non-surgical thirty minute eye-lift that can restore your looks instantly. As we age the delicate skin under the eye becomes lax and the cheek fat descends into the middle of the face leaving semi-circular creases and depressions known as tear troughs. These depressions make the eyes look ‘sunken’ and produce the illusion of darkening around the eyes resulting in ‘dark circles’ or ‘tired eyes’. Dermal fillers are now used to eliminate the hollows you may have beneath your eyes and bring them back from the depths (tear trough treatment). By lifting these depressions it can take away the tired appearance and lighten the dark circles caused by shadowing. For Asian skin types, pigmentation can be corrected and improved using specialist prescription only topical creams that will suppress the pigmentation and lighten the skin.

Introduced under the skin using very fine needles, fillers re-create the plump, firm foundation your delicate under eye area had previously. We use the latest cannulas to do the treatment. Cannulas are safer, less uncomfortable and cause less bruising that the cheaper traditional sharp needles. We find that Juvederm Vobella seems to work best and lasts the longest for correcting eye hollows. Our technique involves placing the dermal filler very deep, which reduces the risk of lumpiness on the surface and is also a safer approach. The filler is gradually broken down over time and safely eliminated through the body's natural metabolic processes. What areas can be treated? This treatment is specifically for the eye area.

Testimonials M.W - Dartford "I first visited The Laser and Aesthetic Clinic a number of years ago. I wanted to try the tear trough treatment and possibly some cheek fillers. Initially I was very nervous as I am not the best with needles but Dr Patel put me at ease straight away. His knowledge and advice around the procedure was great and made me felt reassured. The procedure itself was fairly painless- i was left with a small amount of bruising under the eye area but that cleared within a few days. Overall I would highly recommend Dr Patel and The Laser and Aesthetic Clinic, as I have been going for a number of years and have never had any problems"
