    Tear Trough Filler

    Restoring under-eye volume to reduce dark circles, minimise hollowing, and brighten the eye area — for a naturally refreshed appearance.

    The tear trough is the hollow groove between your lower eyelid and upper cheek. As we age — or due to genetics — this area loses volume, creating shadows that appear as dark circles, tired eyes, or a sunken appearance. The skin around the eyes is up to 10 times more fragile than the rest of the face, requiring specialist expertise.

    At CosmeDocs, our doctors use premium hyaluronic acid fillers and advanced cannula techniques to carefully restore under-eye volume. The goal is subtle, natural correction that brightens and refreshes — not overfills — the delicate eye area.

    Understanding Under-Eye Concerns

    It's important to distinguish between tear troughs, dark circles, and eye bags — each has different causes and may require different treatment approaches.

    What Tear Trough Filler Can Improve

    Tear trough filler may help reduce dark circles, restore under-eye volume, minimise hollowing, and create a brighter, more refreshed appearance.

    How Tear Trough Filler Works

    Premium hyaluronic acid is carefully injected beneath the skin using advanced cannula or needle techniques. The procedure takes 10–25 minutes with immediate visible results.
