One of the problems occurring around the eyes is the formation of tear troughs - a characteristic depression located between the inner corner of the eye and the cheek. Its line runs obliquely, exactly like tears flow. It most often appears with aging, but also affects young people. The visible tear troughs make the face look tired, gray, and unhealthy.
WHEN TO USE TEAR TROUGH FILLER TREATMENT
The direct causes of tear troughs are mature age and decreased production of elastin and collagen. The skin around the eyes is delicate, prone to aging, and external factors. As we age, the skin becomes saggy, the fat tissue that fills the area under the eyelid skin diminishes, the muscles become flaccid, and our eye sockets begin to sink. This process mainly affects individuals over the age of 40, although it is often observed in young women and men. This is because the formation of tear troughs is also influenced by exposure to sunlight, unhealthy lifestyle, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
In the case of young individuals, tear troughs are usually caused by genetic factors, such as facial bone structure or inherited metabolic disorders. Tear troughs also appear in individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight in a short period of time.
EFFECTS OF TEAR TROUGH FILLER TREATMENT WITH HYALURONIC ACID
Filling the tear trough results in a rested and rejuvenated face, with the effect visible immediately after the procedure. Injected hyaluronic acid fills the subcutaneous tissue from the inside, reducing the skin indentations. Hyaluronic acid also has the ability to retain water, moisturizing the skin and giving it a fresh and firm appearance. The treatment allows for simultaneous lightening of shadows created by the tear trough.
The achieved effect depends on the depth of the tear trough and the age of the patient. The younger the patient, the better the expected effect. In older individuals with more prominent tear troughs, a satisfactory effect is achieved after the second treatment, which should be performed 4-6 weeks after the previous one. The satisfying results last for approximately 12 months, and after the product is absorbed, wrinkles are shallower than before the procedure.

Restore youthful freshness to your gaze
The eye area is the most delicate and deceptive area of the face. It is here that the first signs of fatigue, stress, and the passage of time become visible most quickly – often before the first wrinkles appear. One of the most characteristic signs is the so-called tear trough – a depression under the eye, just below the inner corner, which is caused by the loss of fatty tissue and skin elasticity. It is accompanied by shadows and an optical "separation" of the upper part of the cheek from the lower part – an effect that makes the face look older and tired, even if we don't feel that way.
Modern correction using hyaluronic acid – subtle yet effective
Precise correction of the tear trough with hyaluronic acid helps restore volume, reduce shadows, and give the face a refreshed, harmonious look. We choose only proven products from renowned brands, with the right consistency and safety, tailored to the delicate structure of the eye area.
How does the procedure work?
Hyaluronic acid injected into the tear trough area works in multiple ways:
- fills the volume deficit, lifting the sunken tissue and smoothing the contour,
- disperses the shadow formed around the eye socket, brightening the gaze,
- binds water in the skin, ensuring intense hydration and elasticity,
- improves microcirculation and cellular metabolism, supporting skin regeneration,
- stimulates fibroblasts, increasing collagen and elastin production.
This achieves a natural filling and brightening effect around the eyes, without burdening the delicate skin. The result is not only an improvement in appearance but also in the quality and structure of the skin in the long term. Shortly after the procedure, the gaze becomes brighter, and the face regains freshness and youthful energy.
When is it worth considering this procedure?
The procedure is recommended in case of:
- visible under-eye hollowing (tear trough),
- shadows and discoloration around the eye socket,
- loss of firmness and volume in the central part of the face,
- optical "breaking up" of the cheek into two parts.
It is effective for both mature individuals, where these symptoms result from aging processes, and young individuals with genetic predispositions to under-eye shadows.
What results can you expect?
Immediately after the procedure, you can observe:
- reduction of tear troughs and shadows,
- brightening of the eye area and a visual "opening" of the gaze,
- restoration of volume and skin smoothness,
- improvement in skin hydration, firmness, and elasticity.
The effect is subtle, natural, yet noticeably rejuvenating – often patients hear comments like, "You look well-rested," rather than "Did you do something?" This is an action that rejuvenates without revealing that something was done.
Frequency of procedures
- The effects last from 6 to 12 months, depending on individual skin predispositions, lifestyle, and the quality of the product used.
- To maintain the effects, it is recommended to have a touch-up procedure once a year.
