Tear troughs are the semi-circle grooves and shadows that appear under your eyes as you get older. The skin and tissue under the eyes are thin and delicate, and any volume loss can make a significant difference. Tear troughs can make you look tired and older, even when you feel energetic. If you have dark circles under your eyes caused by deep tear troughs, come see us at LL Aesthetics. We offer tear trough filler injections at our Miami Beach, FL, facility.
As you get older, less collagen is produced, which makes up almost 80% of the skin structure. Lost volume can cause lines and wrinkles, but it can also create sunken areas in the face, including under the eyes. Tear trough grooves start at the inner eye and curve into a half moon shape under the eyes. The thinner skin can allow the blood vessels underneath to be visible, creating darker skin. Dermal fillers can be the solution, replacing lost volume in the tear troughs to rejuvenate the undereye area.
Undereye Dermal Filler Injections
Not all dermal fillers can be used in the undereye area. Since the skin is thin and delicate, the filler needs to be very flexible to avoid lumps or migration. Hyaluronic acid filler that is designed for delicate areas like the lips or undereye area can create natural-looking results. You want filler that is soft and pliable to ensure that it stays smooth while filling in the grooves under the eyes.
Facial filler injections for tear troughs can be completed in about 15-20 minutes. The results are immediate – your eyes will be refreshed and look more awake and energetic. Some swelling or bruising can be expected from the injections, but this will fade quickly over the next day or two. Depending on the filler used, the results can last several months or longer.
At LL Aesthetics, we offer many cosmetic treatments, including reducing the appearance of deep tear troughs under the eyes. Our undereye rejuvenation procedures include dermal filler injections, as well as skin firming treatments and PRP injections.
