Tear Trough Fillers

We advise you to avoid using Alcohol, aspirin, Ibuprofen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a range of dietary supplements including; St. Johns Wort, fish oils, Gingko Biloba, Vitamins C and E- may all contribute to bruising and are best avoided 24 hours before treatment (unless they are taken for chronic medical conditions).
All make-up will need to be removed prior to treatment, so please come ‘fresh faced’. Treatment cannot be administered if there is an active skin infection, including cold sores etc. Do contact the clinic to discuss any illness or new medicines prior to attending.
Ask your medical practitioner if you have any concerns.

Yes, the aesthetic results are immediate. You’ll see the results as soon as your appointment is over—and no one else needs to know! However, please note that with volume replacement, the maximal effect takes up to 6 weeks to be achieved. With some of the more advanced fillers, collagen production will also be stimulated; thus your new natural collagen will be around long after the filler has been broken down. Every customised treatment plan is different and so specific advice with regards to outcome, downtime and duration of effect, will be discussed at consultation.

The smooth consistency of the fillers we use will allow your clinician to administer the product with ease. It also contains a local anaesthetic to reduce injection pain for a more comfortable experience. A local anaesthetic cream may also be offered for you to use prior to treatment to numb the skin. We can also offer an injectable nerve block for complete anaesthesia if required.

Following injection, you may experience slight redness, swelling or bruising at the injected area. Your medical practitioner will advise on this. Please be assured that these side effects should not last and, after waiting 12 hours following treatment, can be easily covered up with your usual make-up. However, do not hesitate to get in touch with us if in the unlikely event these reactions last longer than a week, or if you experience other side effects. All skin injection procedures carry a small risk of infection. This topic will be discussed more fully during your consultation.
