Dermal Filler Injections for Eye Bags, Sunken Eyes & Tear Troughs - Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield & Mansfield

There's nothing worse than spending ages doing your make-up, then looking in the mirror and all you notice is your tired looking eyes. Anyone can suffer from hollows under the eyes, although they inevitably worsen, the older you get. Having 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 and they tend to become more obvious with age.

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 under your eyes can sometimes seem dark, sunken and hollow and this is usually a result of either ageing, dehydration, or not getting enough sleep.

Why do we get dark circles and hollows under our eyes;

• Ageing.
• The most common reason is heredity.
• Volume loss caused by the loss of orbital fat under the lower eyelids .
• Collagen loss in the skin from age and sun damage.
• Dehydration causes a temporary loss of volume in the under-eye area.

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 lifts up the tissues and makes the tear trough seem more shallow.

There are many terms used for sunken eyes:

• Hollow eyes
• Dark shadows
• Thin-looking skin beneath the eyes
• Dark circles beneath the eyes
• A tired face
• Tear trough hollows
• Under-eye hollows

The tear trough treatment is almost painless and it needs only a small amount of local anaesthetic numbing cream applied to the skin about 20 minutes before the injection treatment starts. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi 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 with cover up make up.

Ways to improve sunken eyes;

• Have 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
• To relieve tiredness, apply slices of cucumber on the eyes to cool the skin and improve the blood circulation.
• Warm or cool tea bags placed on the eyes can improve blood circulation.
• To flush out excess water and reduce the dark, puffy appearance under the eyes, eat foods such as watermelon, celery and cucumber.
• A diet of dark green vegetables, like; spinach, broccoli, kale and sprouts will help with deep sunken eyes.

Many people are unhappy with the depressions and shadows beneath the eyes, and dermal filler treatments to this area are a safe and effective alternative to surgery.

Dermal Filler Treatment for Tear Troughs & Eye Bags - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The older we get, the more we can expect to notice changes in our face, such as dark circles and the deepening of the hollows under our eyes. When we are young, the area under the eye is plump and firm, but as we age we start to lose volume and we develop a sunken dip under the bottom eyelash line to the upper cheek, giving us a tired, aged appearance.

Tear Troughs before and after treatment

The Naso-Jugal groove, also known as Tear Troughs are the sunken in, or hollowed out area below the eye, and these hollows are usually caused by the thinning of the skin and sagging of the cheek tissues. This happens because of the ageing process, genetics, unhealthy lifestyle or by sun damage.

Fresh looking eyes are a big asset to the overall appearance of a youthful, healthy face. Deep hollows under the eyes can seem very ageing and leave you looking like you haven't slept in weeks, and over time the hollows change in appearance and become longer, deeper and more shadowed.

Deep unsightly hollows can now be corrected with advanced dermal fillers. Filler treatment also helps to correct dark shadowing under the eye. Loss of volume in the tissue under the eye and above the cheek cause troughs to appear and they often look worse when we're tired or dehydrated.

The Tear Trough procedure is an ideal treatment for:

• Sunken eyes
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Tired looking eyes
• Eye bags

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we use Teosyal Redensity 2 for tear troughs treatment, and they cause less swelling which is a bonus when treating this delicate area. Hylauronic acid is a substance which naturally occurs in the body and these fillers are non animal based and are very safe to use. Fillers are an excellent option to correct mild to moderate hollowing, and can successfully mask the bags under the eyes.

A detailed knowledge of the anatomy is essential when treating this delicate area and Dr. Bassi has over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner and has performed thousands of injectable treatments.

To minimise any discomfort, a topical anaesthetic cream gets applied about 20 minutes before treatment starts, numbing the skin and easing any pain. The treatment only takes twenty to thirty minutes to complete and the results are instant. There's minimal downtime, although you may have a little bruising, as the skin under the eye is very delicate. Teosyl Redensity II will rejuvenate tired looking eyes to create a more youthful appearance that lasts up to twelve months.

Tear Troughs - Treatment using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham Derby Mansfield and Chesterfield

When you look at someone for the first time, what is the first feature you notice ?

Obviously the eyes.

As well as being the windows to the soul, the eyes are also the windows to, well, your age. In fact, studies have shown that when strangers are asked to judge how old a person is, the eye area is one of the biggest influences.

We consider lots of things to keep our eyes looking youthful. To help to camouflage ageing we use creams, concealers, serums, cucumber slices and even tea-bags !

As we age, one of the changes we can expect to notice are the dark circles and deepening of the hollows below your eyes. The Naso-jugal groove also known as the Tear Trough occurs due to the thinning of the overlying skin and soft tissue over the bony orbital rim and happens as a consequence of the ageing process, genetics or also can be caused by sun damage.

Tear troughs run from the nose side of each eye in an arc under the lower eyelid. Most people complain of a tired looking appearance due to the darkness caused by the shadow. Troughs are caused by loss of volume in the tissue under the eye and above the cheek and are often seem worse in appearance when we are tired or dehydrated.

The Tear Troughs can be treated using either dermal fillers or PDO Threads.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses Teosyl Redensity II dermal fillers. This treatment involves injecting filler into the under eye area. This fills out the hollows and lines under the eyes and helps to mask dark circles with it's light reflecting technology.

The tear trough procedure takes place in our clinic, and takes less than an hour of your time. Teosyl Redensity II will rejuvenate tired looking eyes to create a more youthful appearance that lasts up to twelve months.

PDO threads are dissolvable threads which are introduced into the skin with a very fine needle. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, it lifts tissue and improves skin texture. PDO Thread treatment can be used on a number of areas : tear troughs, sagging jowls and drooping upper eyebrows. The procedure takes less than an hour and lasts between 12 / 18 months
