Doctor-Led Expertise for Bright, Refreshed Eyes
The under-eye area is one of the most delicate parts of the face and often one of the first to show signs of fatigue or ageing. Tear Trough Rejuvenation at Cosmomed is a specialised treatment performed exclusively by our cosmetic doctor, designed to restore volume and smoothness beneath the eyes while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.
This advanced non-surgical treatment softens hollows, reduces the look of dark shadows, and refreshes the overall eye area to create a well-rested, luminous look without altering your natural expression.
Why the Under-Eye Area Changes Over Time
The under-eye region, known as the tear trough, runs from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek. This area is supported by delicate skin, fine ligaments, and minimal fat padding. Over time, a combination of natural ageing, genetics, and environmental factors can lead to:
- Thinner skin and loss of elasticity
- Reduction in underlying fat and bone support
- Laxity in the surrounding ligaments
- Poorer circulation and dehydration
These gradual changes can make the area appear sunken, shadowed, or tired even when you feel well-rested.
How Tear Trough Rejuvenation Works
Tear Trough Rejuvenation uses a specialised soft filler formulated for the delicate under-eye tissue. When placed with precision, it gently restores volume, smooths transitions between the lower eyelid and cheek, and reduces the shadowing effect that contributes to tiredness.
Our doctor performs this treatment using advanced placement methods, including cannula application where appropriate, to ensure precision and comfort. This technique helps minimise surface trauma and swelling while supporting accurate, even results.
Benefits of Tear Trough Rejuvenation
- Softens under-eye hollows and shadowing
- Reduces the appearance of dark circles related to volume loss
- Smooths the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
- Creates a refreshed, well-rested look
- Enhances natural contours without puffiness or heaviness
- Minimal downtime with long-lasting improvement
Results typically last 12 months and can extend up to 18 months for some individuals.
Who is Suitable for this Treatment
Tear Trough Rejuvenation may be suitable if you:
- Experience mild to moderate hollowness or tired-looking eyes
- Prefer a non-surgical approach to rejuvenation
- Have good skin quality with minimal laxity or puffiness
- Are in good general health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
This treatment may not be appropriate for clients with significant puffiness or fat prolapse beneath the eyes, excess skin laxity, or chronic fluid retention. Your doctor will assess your individual anatomy and recommend the safest, most effective treatment plan during consultation.
What to Expect
1. Personalised Consultation
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation with our cosmetic doctor. During this session, your doctor will assess skin thickness, degree of hollowing, mid-face support, and overall facial balance. A staged treatment approach may be suggested, particularly for deeper hollows, to achieve gradual, refined results.
2. The Procedure
Using a soft filler designed for delicate under-eye tissue and, where appropriate, a fine cannula, the doctor places small amounts of product along the orbital rim and supporting areas of the cheek to smooth transitions and soften shadowing.
This method helps reduce surface trauma, bruising, and swelling while ensuring controlled, even placement of product for natural-looking results.
3. Aftercare
Some mild swelling or redness may appear and generally subsides within a few days. You will be provided with personalised aftercare instructions that may include:
- Stay hydrated to assist in healing and comfort
- Avoid intense exercise, heat exposure, saunas, and sun immediately after treatment
- Refrain from pressing or massaging the area unless directed by your doctor
- Avoid skincare products containing AHA, BHA, or retinoids around the area for several days
- Wait before applying makeup on the treated area until advised it is safe to do so
Results are visible immediately and continue to refine over the following two weeks as the filler integrates naturally into surrounding tissue.
Risks and Safety
All cosmetic procedures carry potential risks. Tear Trough Rejuvenation is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional, but possible side effects can include:
- Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
- Mild tenderness or unevenness as the product settles
- Puffiness or prolonged swelling in clients prone to fluid retention
Less common risks include:
- The Tyndall effect (bluish tint if filler is placed too superficially)
- Vascular occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel)
- Infection or allergic reaction
These risks are reduced by detailed anatomical assessment, use of refined technique, and the option to dissolve the product if necessary.
