A tear trough filler can help reduce under-eye bags and dark circles, giving you a fresher and more rested appearance.

What is a tear trough filler treatment?

A tear trough filler treatment is a procedure to reduce dark circles and a tired appearance under the eyes. During the treatment, hyaluronic acid is injected into the tear trough with a thin needle. This fills the area and creates a fresher look.

How does a tear trough filler treatment work?

During the tear trough filler treatment, a fine needle or cannula is used to inject the filler into the skin under the eyes. The filler fills the hollows and restores the volume of the face. This reduces the visibility of under-eye bags and rejuvenates the skin around the eyes. The treatment is relatively quick, and most patients experience minimal pain. Using a cannula makes the treatment less painful and reduces the risk of bruising.

Treatment technique and effectiveness

The technique for tear trough fillers has improved significantly in recent years. Doctors increasingly use a blunt cannula (25G or 27G) instead of a sharp needle. This allows the filler to distribute more evenly while preserving the surrounding tissue. Some fillers, such as Redensity II, contain antioxidants that not only add volume but also improve skin quality by stimulating collagen production. Thanks to this precise injection technique and modern formulas, most patients are highly satisfied, and results typically last around 8–12 months.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a tear trough filler?

A tear trough filler offers several advantages:

  • Fresher appearance: It reduces dark circles and under-eye bags, creating a more energetic look.

  • Natural result: The treatment provides subtle but noticeable improvements without looking unnatural.

  • Quick and efficient: The procedure often takes only 15–30 minutes, with minimal recovery time.

  • Minimal pain: Thanks to the numbing cream and use of a cannula, the treatment is often less painful than other cosmetic procedures.

A tear trough filler treatment also has some disadvantages:

  • Temporary side effects: After the treatment, swelling, bruising, or redness may occur, usually disappearing within a few days.

  • Temporary results: The effect of the tear trough filler is not permanent and typically lasts 8 months to 1 year, after which you can opt for a follow-up treatment.

  • Cost: The price for a tear trough filler treatment can range from €300 to €900, which can be a significant investment, especially if multiple treatments are needed for long-term results.

What can you expect from the results of a tear trough filler?

The results of a tear trough filler are often immediately visible. You will notice that the hollows under the eyes are filled and the skin appears tighter. The full effect is usually visible after 1–2 weeks, once the filler has settled and the skin has adjusted. The result typically lasts between 6 months and 1 year, depending on the type of filler and your skin.

How many injections are needed for a tear trough filler treatment?

The tear trough filler treatment usually requires 1 to 3 injections per side, depending on the size of the tear trough and the amount of filler needed. The doctor uses a fine cannula to distribute the filler evenly, which reduces pain and lowers the risk of bruising. Thanks to the cannula, the treatment is also less invasive.

Safety and quality assurance

Safety comes first in a tear trough filler treatment. Always choose a cosmetic doctor with certification and proven training in under-eye filler techniques. Certified clinics use authorized brands and adhere to strict hygiene protocols, from sterile cannulas to single-use needles. A preliminary consultation and realistic expectations reduce the risk of complications such as swelling or asymmetry. Thanks to modern injection techniques—such as using a blunt cannula under ultrasound guidance—the risk of bruising and bleeding is significantly reduced. Our comparison module helps you compare subtle differences between doctors and treatment protocols, allowing you to make a safe choice without compromising on quality.

What are the risks and side effects of a tear trough filler?

As with any cosmetic treatment, there are some risks and side effects associated with a tear trough filler procedure. The most common side effects include:

  • Swelling: This can occur immediately after the treatment but usually disappears within a few hours to a few days.

  • Bruising: Mild bruising may occur, especially if the needle or cannula punctures a small blood vessel. These often fade quickly.

  • Asymmetry: Sometimes the result on one side of the face may differ from the other, but this can often be corrected with a follow-up treatment.
