Tear Trough TreatmentHarriet has recently added Tear Trough Fillers to her compliment of treatments.
Some individuals are born with less fat in the under-eye area and have an indentation commonly referred to as a tear trough hollow… Everyone has a natural valley that sits atop the rim of bone that encircles the eye. This valley is a natural, normal contour… but some people have deeper valleys than others.
When the skin is slightly sucken a shadow forms under the eye this is why it often looks like a dark circle. By replacing some volume using a soft dermal filler to the undereye area we can gently lift the hollow and as a result, soften the darkened circle under the eye.
Under-eye dermal fillers are injected into the skin using a cannula. One small needle is placed into to skin via the cheek bone, and then plastic cannula is very gently fed into the correct position and a small amount of hyaluronic acid is deposited into the hollowed area under the eye. The procedure is not painful, clients comment that is is more of an unusual sensation but certainly not sore.
Using a cannula makes the procedure safe and reduces the risk of bruising.
Treatment results last around 6-12 months. Our very own Elaine has recently had this treatment and within a day was able to see some positive results.
