Fillers for the delicate eye area, for beautiful, natural-looking results.
The tear trough is the area under the eye socket, which, as we age, tends to hollow and sink back. For many of us, this can be one of the first facial areas to show the signs of ageing. This hollowness under the eye, can cause the appearance of dark shadows and eye bags. This can make us look tired and worn out, even though we may be feeling fine. At Rosie Cooper Aesthetics in Leamington Spa, we offer dermal fillers for the delicate eye area, for beautiful, natural-looking results and with your peace of mind that you are receiving the treatment from a medically-qualified professional.
Dermal fillers are made from a hyaluronic acid gel, which helps to replace lost volume and to hydrate the skin. When carefully injected in to the tear troughs, by a fully-qualified medical professional, such as nurse prescriber Rosie Cooper, this area can be rejuvenated and dark circles and eye bags, disguised.
If you are someone over the age of 30 who is experiencing those first signs of ageing, under your eyes, you will most-likely benefit from this treatment. However, we will ask that you attend a no obligation consultation, so we can discuss this treatment with you and check your medical history, to ensure it will be a safe treatment for you to undergo.
The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye down towards the cheek. As we age, we lose volume here, so the area hollows and casts a shadow that makes you look tired, even when you’re not. Tear trough filler uses a soft hyaluronic acid gel to gently fill that hollow and smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. Done well, it doesn’t look filled. You just look more rested.
You should notice some results immediately after your dermal filler treatment. However, you may experience initial swelling, which can take a week or two to settle in this area. After two weeks has passed, we will ask that you attend another, follow-up appointment, to check your progress.
As with all injectable treatments, there is a possibility of localised bruising at the injection sites and this is an entirely normal response. There may be some initial sensitivity and swelling in the area as this area is so delicate. Since the under eye area is also a vascular one, it is an area more prone to bruising. However, every patient is different in how they respond to this treatment. We will assist you with advice for before and after treatment, to help you minimise downtime as much as possible. It’s worth knowing that, unlike an invasive surgical procedure, there is no ‘clinical’ downtime ( a period of rest and recouperation at home), but this is more ‘vanity’ downtime, where you might wish to time your treatment carefully around a special event or holiday.
Dermal fillers are not permanent, and results will naturally wear off over time. How long a dermal filler product lasts does vary according to the individual and is affected by environmental factors. Part of the reason we prefer Teosyal Redensity II, here at Rosie Cooper Aesthetics in Leamington Spa and Oxford, is because it is one of the best dermal filler products available for longevity and has a superb safety profile. As a guide, we would expect your results to last for around 9 months. It is at this point you would need to return for further treatment to maintain your results.
In experienced hands, yes. The under-eye area is one of the more delicate places to treat, so the practitioner’s skill and anatomy knowledge matter more than anywhere else. Rosie is an Independent Nurse Prescriber with 15 years’ experience in dermal fillers. Common side effects are bruising and swelling. Less common risks include small lumps, a bluish tint under the skin if filler sits too close to the surface, and prolonged puffiness. Serious complications are rare. Rosie will go through all of these with you before you decide.
Most people find it more comfortable than they expect. We can apply numbing cream first, and the filler itself contains a local anaesthetic. You’ll feel some pressure and a few small scratches. Some people find having treatment so close to the eyes a bit unnerving, so Rosie talks you through each step as she goes. The appointment takes about an hour, including consultation and numbing time.
You’ll see an improvement straight away. The under-eye area swells easily, though, so the final result takes a week or two to show, once the swelling settles. Rosie books a review appointment two weeks after treatment to check how it has settled and make any small adjustments.
Tear trough filler starts from £450, including your two-week review appointment. You’ll get a clear quote at consultation before any treatment.
