Tear Trough Augmentation: Rejuvenating Tired Eyes
The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging, often making individuals look tired or older than they feel. Tear trough augmentation is a non-surgical procedure designed to restore volume, smooth out hollows, and create a refreshed, youthful appearance.
What Causes Tear Trough Hollowing?
The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye down toward the cheek. With age, the skin in this area becomes thinner, and fat loss can create shadows or deep depressions. Genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors also play a role in the severity of tear trough hollowing.
How Tear Trough Filler Works
Tear trough augmentation involves injecting hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, to restore lost volume and reduce the appearance of dark circles. The procedure is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking subtle yet effective rejuvenation.
What to Expect from the Procedure
The treatment is typically performed using a fine needle or cannula to ensure precision and minimize bruising. Patients may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days, but results are visible almost immediately and can last up to a year.
