The under-eye area is susceptible to signs of ageing. Over time, the fat pad under the eye starts to bulge and become more obvious, the skin below the eyes begins to thin and the bones begin to shrink, leaving the under eyes looking more hollow. Some people are also born with a tear trough due to the ligament under the eye, and this genetic concern can be quite distressing. If you have any of these concerns, we suggest arranging a consultation at The Greville Clinic to see if you are a good candidate for tear trough filler in Melbourne.
Tear trough treatment with dermal filler involves using a soft, gel-like substance to fill in hollows in the under-eye area. This substance binds to water molecules, plumping the skin and improving hydration to minimise the appearance of tear troughs. Filler treatments can also lead to more collagen being produced in the area.
The benefits of using dermal fillers for tear trough concerns include:
Results can be seen immediately following your appointment for dermal fillers under eye treatment. However, we recommend waiting several days to assess the final result. This is because swelling may occur, and time also needs to be given for the filler to settle into the skin.
Under eye fillers for wrinkles and tear troughs typically last between 6 months to 18 months. After this time, repeat under eye injections are recommended to maintain results. The longevity of results can depend on a range of factors, such as the type of eye trough filler used, the specific concern being treated, and lifestyle and environmental factors.
At The Greville Clinic, safety is a priority. We use a small device to inject the filler under the eye from a point in the cheek, meaning no needles are breaking the skin under the eye, which significantly minimises the risk of bruising. Some discomfort may be experienced with this treatment although it’s considered to be less painful than traditional methods of treating this area.
The tear trough filler cost will vary depending on the concern you’re hoping to address, the amount required, and the type of filler used. As it is important not to over fill and make this area puffy, only a small amount of filler is required for desired results. We can provide you with an accurate estimate of the final cost after assessing your skin in an initial consultation.
