As the saying goes “the eyes have it”. They are the first feature people notice about us and they can give away a whole heap of secrets about how we are feeling emotionally as well as our general health. The eyes also show the first signs of ageing as when we get older, our eye sockets widen, leading to a sunken, hollow appearance, dark circles and saggy eye bags. Fortunately, if you are one of the many people that experience ageing around the eyes, at Dr. MediSpa in our Essex based clinic, we have a superb treatment for you, to revive and revitalise the under-eye area, using injectable dermal fillers. Tear trough filler can transform your look without your appearance looking ‘fake’, offering a confidence boost from the moment you step out of the clinic.

What is tear trough filler?

Dermal fillers are substances which contain hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a naturally occurring sugar in the body responsible for hydrated and youthful looking skin. When placed in specific areas such as the under-eye area (tear troughs), dermal fillers can plump out any hollows, lift-up and support the skin and create a less saggy, dark appearance under the eyes.

For it to be safe and effective this treatment must be expertly administered and Dr. Munir Somji is one of the UK’s leading authorities in non-surgical treatments such as injectable dermal fillers for tear troughs. His advanced techniques ensure that this delicate area is treated with respect and his anatomical expertise so that you receive the best treatment and achieve superb results.

To know whether you are suitable for HA dermal fillers for the tear troughs you will need to attend a pre-treatment consultation with Dr. Somji at our Loughton clinic so he can discuss your medical history, assess your individual concern and give you the best advice for treatment. After this, you will be invited back for the treatment.

Tear trough filler – does it hurt?

Many people ask us if HA tear trough filler injections hurt. The simple answer is that you should not feel pain as many dermal fillers today contain Lidocaine anaesthetic. As in most cases, cannulas are used to inject the dermal filler in to the tear trough you might feel a little pushing or tugging in the area but this should not be painful. At Dr. MediSpa, your comfort is our priority and we will give you some anaesthetic cream for the areas where the cannula is inserted to minimise any discomfort.

After the treatment, you may experience a little swelling, occasional bruising and tenderness. This is very normal and will subside quickly. You can use ice to calm the area and camouflage any slight bruising with a specially formulated make-up. Dr. Somji will advise you on all aftercare.

You don’t have to look at yourself in the mirror and wonder where the time went and can achieve a wide-awake, revived look for your eyes, effectively and safely with tear trough filler using HA with Dr. Somji, here at Dr. MediSpa, Loughton.
