Tear Troughs - Fill In Eye Hollows With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Fresh looking eyes are a big asset to our overall facial appearance, we want to make a good first impression when we meet someone, we don't want them to only notice how tired and drawn we look. As we get older our face changes, and we begin to notice things like loss of volume and the skin getting thinner, and this, along with a natural decrease in fatty tissue and a loss of skin elasticity will cause the area beneath the eye to become puffy and shadowy.

The natural depression that follows the curve of the eye socket, from the nose around to the underside of the eye is known as the tear trough, because that’s where the tears gather. Getting dark circles beneath the eyes are a common problem as we age, and they can make us look weary. As well as ageing; smoking, the environment and stress can also contribute to shadows and eye bags, making them look worse.

When we're young, distribution of fat in our face is even, with some fat pockets plumping up the cheeks, forehead, temples and around the eyes and the mouth. As we get older, we lose volume as the fat shifts downward, making the features that were once rounded start to sink and become gaunt. This means that other parts of the face gain some fat, which tends to settle under the chin and around the jowls in the neck.

The skin around the eyes is very thin and we can see the underlying capillaries much easier compared to other parts of the face, making any diminished circulation, puffiness or swelling much more noticeable. Replacing volume in the under eye area can reshape the entire face and dermal fillers are now regularly used to fill in the hollows. Filling in these depressions can take away the tired look on your face and lighten the dark circles around the eyes.

Tear trough treatment will:

• Banish dark circles and bags from under the eye
• Ease wrinkles and lines
• Add volume to the under-eye area
• Get instant results that will last around 6-8 months
• Leave you feeling and looking more youthful

Tear trough treatment using dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure that can restore your looks instantly. The filler gets precisely injected into the skin using very fine needles, re-creating the plump, firm skin that your under eye area used to have. A good cosmetic doctor with experience of injecting dermal fillers will have a trained eye for what looks good and what will suit your face. It's important to avoid an overdone and unnatural look, aiming instead for natural-looking results to make you look younger and more refreshed.

Fill In Ageing Tear Troughs With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Spending ages applying your make-up can feel such a waste of time when you then look in the mirror, and all you notice is how tired your eyes look. The area around the eyes has extremely thin skin, which means it's one of the first areas on the face to show ageing. As we age, the facial skeleton can shrink inwards, and everything resting on top of it will fall downwards, causing a hollowness around the eyes and creating shadows which can make us look exhausted.

Sunken eye hollows can cause you to feel disheartened when you notice the lost volume under the eyes. The volume loss can start in your early twenties, becoming more obvious as you age. Anyone can suffer from hollows under the eyes, and unfortunately they will inevitably worsen as you get older. 

Reasons we get dark circles and hollows under our eyes:

• Ageing
• The most common reason is that it's heredity
• The loss of orbital fat under the lower eyelids 
• Collagen loss in the skin, due to age and sun damage
• A temporary loss of volume in the under-eye area caused by dehydration

The tear trough extends from the inner corner of the eye, making an arc shape and continuing on to the outer corner, like a crescent-shaped area under your eye. The delicate skin beneath your eyes can sometimes seem dark, sunken and hollow, and this is usually a result of either ageing, dehydration, or lack of sleep.

A pronounced dip under the eye creates shadows and can leave you looking tired and older than your years. Injecting dermal filler into the eye hollow can smooth the area, lessen the look of the dark circles and rejuvenate the area. Tear trough treatment places the dermal filler below the skin, which will lift up the tissues, replace the volume and will make the tear trough area seem more shallow.

There are many descriptions used for sunken eyes:

• Hollow eyes
• Dark shadows
• Bags
• Thin-looking skin beneath the eyes
• Dark circles
• Tired eyes
• Tear troughs
• Under-eye hollows

Injecting dermal filler for tear trough treatment is almost painless, needing only a small application of local anaesthetic numbing cream twenty minutes before the injection treatment starts. The practitioner uses a cannula for tear trough injections, as this technique minimises bruising, and is a gentler technique. The recovery time is very quick, although patients may experience some redness and swelling, but this can easily be minimised and covered up with make-up.

Looking After Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It seems like our lifestyles are becoming even more hectic, and balancing our work, family and social life can wreak havoc on our skin, making it look a lot older than it is. Early mornings, late nights, busy social lives and modern technology are taking over our lives, and many of us feel pressurised, trying to fit everything we have to do, into one day. All of this will eventually take it toll, having the potential to prematurely age our skin.

If we actually stopped and thought about the long-term damage we might be doing to our skin due to our bad habits, we might realise that if we neglect our skin now, we will most certainly pay for it later.

Botox injections

Lots of thing contribute to facial ageing:

Stressful schedules
A busy social life can increase our stress levels, making us lose out on our standard eight hours sleep. Tiredness and stress can cause wrinkles and dull skin, it can lower your immune system, which can result in acne breakouts.

Out and about
Outside we come into daily contact with car fumes, pollution and dust, which will all have a harmful effect on our skin over time. These are things which are impossible for us to avoid and can cause dehydration, wrinkles and redness. The belief is that these days pollution is just as damaging to our skin as UV exposure. It's important to cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin, to rid it of a daily build up of dirt and grime.

Late nights
Failing to get a good nights sleep can cause havoc with our skin. Whether it's because of partying, working or watching movies late into the night, we are quite literally losing hours of our beauty sleep. Drinking excess alcohol can dry out the skin and the later we go to bed, the more likely we won't remove our make-up, and this can clog up our pores and cause spots. Lack of sleep will dehydrate the skin making it seem dull, causing puffiness and dark shadows under the eyes.

Technology
Our obsession with our phones and computers is really taking its toll on our neck and jaw line. The skin on the neck is thin and fragile, and because it's a highly visible part of the body, this area can really show how fast we are ageing. Constantly staring down at a phone or laptop can cause sagging jowls and wrinkles on the neck, which accelerates the signs of ageing.
