I came here to receive medical Botox, for both bruxism (grinding of the teeth) and chronic headaches. I cannot fault the professionalism of the staff as well as how friendly they were! I’m scared of needles and was put at ease instantly. I highly recommend the usage of Botox for the easing of the symptoms I was experiencing. Thank you so much!

Thank you dr Farmah. After having underarm sweating treatment I am now a free man. I can wear whatever colour t shirt that I want. I don’t have to worry about taking other clothes with me or worrying if others will see my sweat patches. The treatment was painless and started working within 3 days. I’m hooked, no other deodorant or chemical product has changed my life so much.

Dr Farmah is a kind and honest medical professional to work with. He is honest about what treatments will help to address your concerned areas, and asks what you want to work on, and never suggests any area to work on unless you do, which I think is very kind. He doesn't make you feel that you have to do anything but is happy to help you feel comfortable with the areas you are unhappy with. I"m super happy with the derma fillers and botox that I had done with him.

After struggling all my life with heavy sweating I decided to try my luck with botox injection and is, without doubt, the best decision I have ever made. The procedure was painless and fast, every detail was explained to me beforehand, the staff was professional and extremely helpful. The results were noticeable after two days as the sweating decreased significantly and on the fifth day there almost no sweat at all. I couldn't be happier about the result and I will definitely continue the treatment. A big thank you to Dr Aesthetica for making my life so much easier!

Such a friendly team! They went out of their way to accommodate me with appointment times and explained the details of the treatment really clearly as it was the first time i'd had Botox. Results are really natural, and I'm thrilled with the results.

My account has come up under my uncles google account but this is my review; I went to dr aesthetica as I've always been self conscious about my nose which is quite bulbous and had no real definition I was wanted to look like my filter! Dr explained that filters are not a realistic image of beauty and that whilst he could improve my nose significantly a filter is not realistic. I went ahead and despite a little discomfort I must say tht my first impression was amazing ! Better than I expected my nose looked fantastic better than a filter and complimented my favs hugely. Today is the second day and I'm quite swollen so not looking as fantastic as I did yesterday but this is normal and can take up to two weeks to subside for you to get the full results of the liquid rhinoplasty. The service was lovely from both Dr and Steph. I'm looking forward to my swelling subsiding and taking pictures without the filters. I will keep updated about my progress and I must say if you are considering any non surgical procedure then please see dr aesthetica he cares about the patients happiness not the money and will advise you in the beat way possible prior to operating on you. Again I'm glad I made the correct choice. Miss Walker

About Tear Trough Filler

Tear Trough Filler is a dermal filler that is injected into the ‘trough’ underneath your eye to decrease the hollowness of the area. This area is usually where you get ‘bags,’ appears dark, tired and where women tend to cover up with concealer. It can often lead to shadows under the eye, making you appear that you haven’t slept well, and have comments from friends and family to say that you look tired.

The problem with concealer is that although it hides the discolouration (darkness) or pigmentation, it does not get rid of the hollowing under the eyes. The hollowing makes under the eye appear darker than it is and make you look tired or gaunt.
It can look particularly worse in photos when flash is used as it highlights your under-eye area.

The hollowing under your eyes can be age-related and can be caused by a number of factors including the environment, weather, dietary intake and can even be hereditary. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything to reverse the effects of this. However, this is where Tear Trough Filler can help. It is often one of the earlier changes of ageing.

For some, this groove under the eye has been there since childhood, and can often be seen in your parents. This is genetic inherited.

At Dr Aesthetica we use the Cannula technique. This is where Dermal Filler is injected into the Tear Trough via a microcannula – an extremely thin tube. An insertion point is made around the cheekbone area so that the microcannula can be fed through. This means that dermal filler can be injected more precisely and carefully into the delicate area under the eye. The cannula technique allows for less chance of bruising and is generally pain-free. More importantly, the cannula technique is much safer especially around this highly sensitive area.

Once the filler has been injected via the Cannula, the results are seen instantly. With any kind of Dermal Filler treatment, once the filler is in place under the eye, this area tends to absorb more fluid from the body after the treatment. This means that the tear trough remains hydrated, therefore, looking refreshed and plumper. This can also help to improve colour changes around the eye.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions regarding tear trough fillers

How do I know if I need Tear Trough Filler?

Our patients commonly complain of having sunken eyes, hollowing under eyes, bags under the eyes and grooves under the eyes. Our patients usually describe themselves as having puffy eyes, sagging under-eyes, dark circles under the eyes and wrinkles under the eyes. The area under the eye can make you appear to have dark under eyes, swollen eyes, or even hollow eyes.

A lot of our female clients have complained of their concealer creasing under the eye which leads to unflattering horizontal lines under the eyes.

How much do tear trough fillers cost?

At Dr Aesthetica we only use established and FDA approved brands of dermal filler. The cost varies on the amount of filler used. The treatment options are discussed with you before any treatment is carried out.

Treatment completed by Consultant Doctor using microcannula technique for safety, less downtime and optimal results.

Some patients have deep tear troughs and may need more than 0.5ml on each side. Please note that we do not put more than 0.5ml each side as it can lead to swollen eye bags. We therefore recommend returning 2 weeks later to further top up the tear trough area.

Does tear trough enhancement hurt?

At Dr Aesthetica we use a micro cannula to feed the filler to correct area. The advantage of this being only 1 entry point minimising the risk of bruising or injury. Micro cannulas are also a safer and more comfortable procedure. Micro cannulas are different to needles in that they are soft plastic tube with no sharp point, which therefore makes it safe to use in sensitive areas such as around the eyes. Topical numbing cream can also be used to help reduce the discomfort.
