What it involves
A marked tear trough makes you look tired even when you're well rested. With hyaluronic acid formulated for the area we gently fill the hollow, soften the shadow and bring light back to the gaze. It's a delicate area that needs a careful medical assessment to confirm whether you're a good candidate.
Benefits

Who is it for?
Not all under-eye concerns are the same: those caused by volume loss in the tear trough respond best to this treatment, whereas under-eyes of pigmentary or vascular origin may see more limited improvement. That is why we always begin with a medical assessment in which we analyse your anatomy, your skin tone and the real cause of your under-eye hollows before confirming whether you are a good candidate.
During the consultation we also evaluate factors such as skin thickness in the area and the degree of volume loss, since very thin skin requires even greater precision and candidacy needs to be assessed with particular care.
What the session is like
The session begins with a detailed assessment of the area to define the most suitable technique and product for you. We apply topical anaesthesia to maximise your comfort, then work with hyaluronic acid specifically formulated for the tear trough, placing it with great care to achieve a natural, even correction.
It is a short procedure that we carry out with the utmost delicacy, as the eye contour is one of the most sensitive areas of the face. When we are done, we walk you through exactly what to expect in the days ahead.
Results and how long they last
Results are often visible from the session itself, though the area may be slightly swollen for the first few days; the final outcome becomes clear once the swelling subsides, usually within the days following treatment. Duration varies from person to person depending on anatomy and individual metabolism, and we cannot guarantee a specific timeframe.
Over time the hyaluronic acid is naturally reabsorbed; when you notice the effect gradually fading, a maintenance session can help prolong the improvement. Being honest about expectations is part of how we work.
Aftercare
For the first few hours avoid touching or massaging the treated area. Some swelling or small bruises in the days that follow are normal; apply gentle cold if needed and avoid intense heat (sauna, direct sun) until they subside.
Avoid makeup on the area for the first few hours and skip intense exercise on the day of treatment. If you have any concerns or notice something that doesn't seem right, get in touch — we are here to follow up with you.
