TEAR TROUGH FILLER AT STRATUM DERMATOLOGY CLINICS

The tear trough is the deep line that can often be seen between the lower eyelid and the top of the cheek. People often think this wrinkle makes them look older than they are because it can cast a shadow under the eye that makes them look tired. Tear troughs become more evident as we age because our face tissues lose volume, and dark circles form under our eyes.

A tear trough filler, also known as an under-eye filler, is a type of dermal filler that can be used to make tear valleys look less noticeable. This makes the face look more awake and young. Dermal fillers are used to fill the tear trough, creating a smooth, wrinkle-free appearance and enhancing the size and tightness of the skin. People who have bags under their eyes can use them to help.

HOW DO TEAR TROUGH FILLERS WORK?

CONSULTATION WITH AN AESTHETIC DOCTOR
TREATMENT CONDUCTED BY AN AESTHETIC DOCTOR
TOP UP TREATMENTS WHERE REQUIRED

Age-related volume loss causes wrinkles, thinning skin, hollows under the eyes, and dark circles behind the eyes. To treat them, tear trough fillers restore lost volume, brightening the eye region and reducing creases. As collagen production increases and the skin is nourished internally, the skin’s quality also improves.

As with other dermal fillers, a tear trough filler is composed of hyaluronic acid and is administered into the under-eye region to add volume and reduce crow’s feet. The body naturally generates hyaluronic acid, stimulating collagen synthesis to maintain volume- or elasticity-depleted areas.

During your appointment, our aesthetic physician will discuss your desired outcomes and examine your skin to determine where the tear trough filler should be injected to accomplish your desired results. In this procedure, they’ll attempt to make the trough appear less prominent and the face more alert. In addition, our qualified doctor will ensure that the results complement your other facial features for a natural-looking enhancement.

Although there is no required recovery time following under-eye fillers, puffiness, bruising, and redness are typical for a few days. There will be an immediate onset of results, but completing the set may take several weeks. For a few days, you will likely be instructed to refrain from physical exertion and face-down dozing.

BENEFITS OF AN UNDER EYE FILLER

Under eye fillers have acquired popularity as the treatment of choice for those seeking to enhance the volume beneath their eyes. They offer many benefits for augmenting the appearance of tear troughs, including:
  • Diminution of dark shadows under the eyes
  • Those who have fuller, firmer skin around the eyes appear youthful
  • When local anaesthetic is applied to the injection site, the procedure is harmless
  • Results lasting between 6 and 18 months
  • Little to no recuperation time following treatment
  • Non-surgical therapy
  • If unsatisfied with the outcome, the filler can be dissolved to rectify it

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Acne affects most people at some point during their lives and will usually go away on its own, usually during teenage years. If acne is still prevalent in adulthood, treatment may be needed to help to control acne or to help reduce acne scarring.

Yes it can. While most cases of acne get better of time, for more severe disease which hasn’t responded to to simple medical measures, cure is a possibility. Stronger medications can bring about permanent resolution in many cases of acne so if you are concerned about your ongoing acne, get in touch to day.

Things you can do yourself to help clear up acne include:

  • Washing the face once or twice a day with a mild soap and warm water. It is important not to over wash the face as this can irritate the skin.
  • Wash your hair regularly and keep it off your face
  • Try not to wear too much make up and make sure it is completely removed before going to bed.

No. Squeezing spots can cause long lasting scarring.

Appropriate Treatment Identified

Treatment Begins

Once an appropriate treatment has been agreed upon, the treatment programme begins, and you’ll be well on your way to a healthier, happier skin. Results will likely appear within the timeframe suggested by your acne specialist.

TYPES OF ACNE TREATMENT

Microdermabrasion is a skin exfoliating treatment that can be used to treat acne and improve the appearance of the skin. It gets rid of acne by gently removing the outer layer of skin using tiny crystals, leaving the skin looking softer, brighter and stimulating new cell growth. It is great for treating acne. It is a safe and effective procedure that is suitable for both men and women of all skin types. Each treatment takes approximately 45 minutes and a course of 3-6 treatments is usually recommended.

Chemical peels work by gently removing the outer layer of the skin. This stimulates new skin growth which helps to reduce oil, unblock pores, reduce blackheads and minimise acne breakouts. There are different strengths or levels of chemical peel available. The superficial peel is the mildest form and is used to minimise acne breakouts by reducing blackheads, oiliness and unblocking pores.

Intense pulsed light treatment treats redness and thread veins which are commonly associated with acne and acne rosacea. This treatment works by using a powerful light that destroys the bacteria that causes acne as well as removing blood vessels that cause redness. This is a safe and non-invasive treatment and a course is recommended.

Dermalux ® LED Phototherapy is a multi-award winning acne skin treatment that combines clinically proven wavelengths of light delivered at therapeutic doses to naturally stimulate skin rejuvenation and resolve skin conditions. It is a non-invasive and pain-free treatment option suitable for all skin types which has proven results in the treatment of acne. The light wavelengths activate cellular renewal and repair, fuel the manufacture of collagen and elastin, reduce inflammation and destroy acne-causing bacteria.

The Nlite laser has been described as the most significant advancement in acne treatment for over 20 years and it has prolonged results. Nlite stimulates collagen production, kills bacteria and reduces the production of sebum from sebaceous glands in the skin.

Skin boosters are tiny injections of dermal fillers which are used to hydrate the skin and improve the skin’s quality. What makes them different from other injectables is that they are injected into the skin rather than underneath the skin.

In some rare cases, minor surgery in the form of subcision or excision of cysts can be used as a treatment. This surgical treatment removes troublesome cysts if another treatment has not worked.

Caring and friendly staff at clinic. I had a consultation with Liz where she carefully explained the options and costs for Botox . She was so gentle and I honestly didn’t know she had administered it to me ! I’m really happy with the results ( my wrinkly old forehead had gone !! ) and will be back for My top ups

Such a professional and helpful service. I had a few problems with having to rearrange appointments due to COVID and they were so accommodating. I had my treatments done by Inga who was so lovely and reassuring, it made the whole process so much easier. She was simply excellent, and the treatments (FRAXEL laser) have been so effective that other people have even commented. Their prices are extremely reasonable as well, as I was prepared to pay much more after having looked online.

Really amazing service. Been twice and both times was impressed with service and treatment. They even went above and beyond over a bank holiday weekend to help me with a skim reaction just before my wedding! Great find if you live anywhere near Oxford.

Care and attention to how nervous my 16 year old daughter was prior to treatment was amazing. Staff were kind and courteous nothing too much trouble. Matt Potter the Surgeon was brilliant, my daughter said she did not feel the injection in her nose!! He was so good, totally distracting her that she never realised the surgery was done. Highly recommend.
