About the Treatment
Brighten and refresh your under-eye area with tear trough filler
The tear trough area, located beneath the eyes, can become hollow or dark with age, stress, or genetics, leading to a tired appearance. Tear trough filler is a non-surgical solution that uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to restore volume, smooth hollows, and reduce the appearance of dark circles. This treatment brightens the under-eye area, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look.
At Smooth Dimensions, our Advanced Aesthetic Nurse, Fiona Mahandru, is experienced in tear trough filler treatments. Using a precise and careful approach, Fiona delivers natural, subtle results that enhance your overall facial appearance.

Is there any downtime?
There is little to no downtime. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, although it's advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. You may experience some swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few days.
Is there anything I need to do before my treatment?
To minimise bruising, swelling, and complications, avoid the following before your appointment:
7 days before treatment:
- Ibuprofen, naproxen, and other NSAIDs.
- Alcohol – increases the risk of bruising and swelling.
- Omega-3 & vitamin E – can thin the blood and increase bruising.
- Herbal supplements, especially Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and Ginseng – increases the risk of bruising.
24 to 48 hours before treatment:
- Caffeine – can increase sensitivity and bruising risk.
- Intense exercise – can increase blood flow and worsen swelling or bruising.
On the day of treatment:
- Arrive makeup-free if possible.
- Stay hydrated and eat a light meal to prevent feeling lightheaded.
- Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine.
If you are prone to bruising, Arnica supplements may help when taken a few days before treatment.
What is tear trough filler?
Tear trough filler is a dermal filler treatment designed to reduce hollows, dark circles, and shadows under the eyes for a refreshed appearance.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after the procedure, with optimal results appearing as swelling subsides within a few days.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
A consultation with us will best determine if tear trough filler is right for you. If you have hollow, sunken eyes or darkness under the eye, tear trough filler could be right for you. As a general rule, if you have any puffiness around the eye area, tear trough filler will not be suitable for you. Polynucleotides could be considered as an alternative to rejuvenate the eye area.
