Understanding Tear Trough Filler

What is tear trough filler?

Tear trough filler (also known as under-eye filler) is a non-surgical treatment designed to improve the appearance of dark circles, hollows, and tired-looking eyes. Using small amounts of carefully placed hyaluronic acid filler, Dr Karim can restore lost volume beneath the eyes to smooth shadows and rejuvenate the under-eye area. The treatment helps reduce tired or sunken appearance of the under-eye area caused by ageing, genetics, or lifestyle factors.

How does tear trough filler work?

As we age, the natural fat pads beneath the eyes decrease and skin elasticity reduces, creating shadows and hollows known as tear troughs. Tear trough filler uses a soft, hydrating hyaluronic acid gel that integrates seamlessly with the skin to gently lift the under-eye area. The result is a fresher, brighter, and more youthful appearance – without the need for surgery or downtime.
