Schedule appointmentThe appearance of tired, sunken eyes is a common problem for many people, often due to age or genetics. Fortunately, there is a non-surgical solution to this problem: tear trough fillers. This procedure involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based filler into the hollows under the eyes, resulting in a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. In this article, we will walk you through the tear trough filler procedure, starting with what it is and what you can expect during and after your treatment with Dr. Rosalia Luketina.
Dr. Rosalia LuketinaTear trough fillers are a cosmetic procedure used to treat hollows that form under the eyes, commonly referred to as the tear trough area. These hollows can be caused by aging, genetics, or other factors such as lack of sleep, dehydration, or stress. Tear trough fillers involve injecting a hyaluronic acid-based filler into the area under the eyes, which helps to fill in the hollows and achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. The fillers used in tear trough injections are made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid that is safe, biocompatible, and provides long-lasting results. The injection is relatively quick, taking about 15-30 minutes, and usually requires only one session to achieve optimal results.
Tear trough fillers are an excellent option for people who want to improve the appearance of their eye area without undergoing surgery. The treatment is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure. The results of tear trough fillers are immediately visible and typically last between six months and a year, depending on the individual needs and lifestyle of the patient.
People who suffer from sunken or hollow eyes can benefit from this procedure. People who suffer from dark circles or fine lines around the tear trough may also be candidates for treatment. Good candidates for tear trough fillers should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Treatment with tear duct filler is quick and relatively painless. The filler is injected into the tear duct area using a small needle. The procedure usually takes around 15-30 minutes, depending on the individual needs of the patient.
After the procedure, swelling, bruising, or redness may occur in the treated area. These side effects usually subside within a few days. It is important that you do not rub or touch the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. The results are immediately visible and usually last for six months to a year. After this time, a refresher treatment may be necessary to maintain the results.

Tear trough injections are not usually painful, as an anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort. In addition, many hyaluronic acid fillers contain a local anesthetic to increase comfort during the injection.
The most common side effects include slight swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites. These usually subside on their own within a few days. In rare cases, irregularities or hardening may occur, but these can usually be corrected.
A treatment session usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the individual situation and the amount of filler used.
Tear trough fillers are a cosmetic treatment in which hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the tear troughs, i.e., the furrows under the eyes that often create a shadowed appearance.
The results of tear trough fillers usually last between 6 and 12 months. However, the duration can vary depending on metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of filler injected.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that could cause excessive sweating or pressure on the treated area for the first 24-48 hours.
