Tear Trough (Under-Eyes)
The tear trough, the delicate area beneath the eyes, holds considerable importance in facial appearance.
Its smoothness contributes to a youthful and rested look. However, factors like aging, genetics, and lifestyle can lead to hollowing, puffiness, or dark circles, imparting a tired or aged appearance.
Tear trough fillers play a pivotal role in rejuvenating this area. By carefully injecting filler into the tear trough, volume is restored, shadows are minimized, and the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek is smoothed. This revitalizes the eyes, reducing the appearance of under-eye bags and tiredness.
The benefits of tear trough fillers extend beyond cosmetic enhancement. They can enhance self-esteem, promote a more refreshed facial expression, and even alleviate the psychological impact of looking fatigued.
