What are "Tear Troughs"?
The "tear troughs" are in the lower eyelid, as we age there is a weakening of the orbital septum, and in the cheek area (the 'mid-face') a loss of soft tissue volume, tend to accentuate the appearance of the lower bony orbital margin which lies between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This also leads to the appearance of lower eyelid fat pockets ('eye bags') and together these can lead to a dark shadow or hollow beneath the eyes (a 'tear trough defect'). This can cause a tired appearance. Treating this area with carefully selected hyaluronic acid (filler) can reduce the appearance of the hollowing, and in some cases, dark circles or "bags" under the eyes.
​
​
The tear trough treatment fills hollows under the eyes, to disguise eye bags, reduce dark circles and treat crepey under-eye skin acting as an excellent under-eye wrinkle treatment to give you a fresher, less tired-looking appearance.
Under-eye filler is a quick treatment with minimal recovery time and instant results, which last 9-12 months.
Here at Gallery Medispa, we pride ourselves on being a trusted cosmetic clinic and safety is our utmost priority. Under-eye filler is an advanced treatment that is performed only by our highly experienced aesthetic nurses, each of which has many years experience in performing advanced dermal filler treatments such as tear trough dermal filler. At Gallery Medispa we use the only licensed type of dermal filler with the most established safety profile for that area and perform tear trough filler with a blunt cannula (not a needle). This minimises your risk and also reduces the likelihood of bruising or swelling.
HOW DOES TEAR TROUGH FILLER WORK
TEAR TROUGH FILLER IN MILTON KEYNES
WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?
Dermal fillers are used for facial aesthetic treatments and are injected into the facial skin, neck and certain body areas such as the hands and buttocks.
Dermal fillers can be used to add volume to lines and wrinkles, provide lift to facial structures, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as the cheeks chin and jawline, straighten a nose and promote your body's natural collagen production.
​
Dermal Fillers contain stabilised hyaluronic acid which replicates the natural hyaluronic that your body makes. Therefore it is easily accepted by your body and actually increase your own natural collagen production.
At Gallery Medispa Aesthetics Clinic in Milton Keynes, we only use premium quality dermal fillers and stock a variety of products so we are able to choose the right product specific to your needs. These include Juvéderm®, Perfectha®, Restylane®, Teosyal® , Belotero®, Stylage ® and more.
We ONLY use dermal fillers which can be dissolved, for your safety should a complication arise. Dermal Fillers are long-lasting but not permanent , generally lasting around 6-12 months dependent upon the individual and their lifestyle.

TREATMENT STEPS
HOW DOES IT WORK?
-
WHAT DOES THIS TREATMENT INVOLVE?This non-surgical facelift uses a range of dermal fillers to achieve the desired effect. Depending on your requirements, these can be administered to specific face areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, or lower face, dependent upon on which areas you need to improve.
-
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM THIS NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT WITH FACE FILLERS?You will instantly see an improvement in your appearance, but you may have some swelling and redness from the injections, which can take a day or two to settle. The best result is visible typically after around 7-10 days when any mild swelling has subsided. The result will be an improved and rejuvenated facial appearance, which should appear more lifted.
-
HOW LONG DOES A LIQUID FACELIFT/ 8 POINT FACELIFT TAKE TO SETTLE?Most people look fine by the next day; if you do have any swelling or bruising, it is likely to be mild and covered by the next day with makeup.
-
WILL I RECEIVE A CONSULTATION PRIOR TO TREATMENT?Yes, all appointments, regardless of the treatment you have booked for, begin with a thorough consultation. The fee for your consultation is redeemable against the cost of your treatment should you wish to go ahead with it at the time of your booking. At Gallery Medispa Milton Keynes, we take a holistic approach, considering patients concerns and expectations and supporting the patient before and after the treatment. At Gallery Medispa, we believe that it is important that patient support starts with pre-treatment consultation, whereby the patient is fully prepared and comfortable in the hands of the practitioner, and most importantly in order to understand the patients aesthetic goals and expectations. Our patients must be assessed for suitability and provided the correct amount of information for them to make an informed decision.
-
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?Bruising can happen, albeit rare, however there are also steps you can take to minimise this which we will advise in our pre and post care information, although no practitioner can guarantee against such. Immediately after treatment your skin may appear red and feel a little sore. There may also be some mild swelling but this will subside within a couple of days. Each patient is an individual and everyone will react differently, however we do our best at all times to ensure the most comfortable and positive experience for every patient that chooses us at Gallery Aesthetics. You will be sent full pre and post treatment care prior to your appointment.
-
RISKS & SIDE EFFECTSFillers are only as good as the person injecting them, regardless of the product used, and therefore aren’t something to take lightly. At Gallery Aesthetics we only use the highest grade products, with specialist trained practitioners administering them. We are all fully insured and qualified to carry out these procedures and highly trained should any potential complications arise, albeit this is very, very rare. General side effects are swelling and/ or bruising and these usually subside within 2-3 days post procedure. Final results will be visible around 2 weeks post procedure. You will be provided with complete aftercare and if you are concerned about anything, please contact us. If you suffer from coldsores (herpes virus), having a lip augmentation can trigger a breakout. If you have a coldsore at the time of your appointment this is a contraindication and can result in complications, therefore unfortunately we will be unable to treat you. Dermal fillers are made up of a naturally occurring substance therefore it is extremely rare to suffer an allergic reaction. All of the dermal fillers we use are fully reversible, instantly.
-
AM I A SUITABLE CANDIDATE?The ideal patient for a thread lift is over 30, have realistic expectations and not wishing to have surgery. A thread lift is an option with temporary results, for those with sagging skin. You must be in good health with realistic expectations.
-
WHAT PRODUCTS DO WE USE?At Gallery Aesthetics we stock a number of fillers which are all top of the range and premium brands. Different products can produce different results and often the brand we will use will depend on the result you want to achieve. Natural results generally require the use of thinner products and this is most often our preference. The fillers we use are based on hyaluronic acid (HA), which is the body’s own natural skin plumper and so has an almost impossible risk of an allergic reaction. Thinner or less dense fillers are used for surface areas like lips and crow’s feet, and thicker ones are injected deeper and used in the jawline are and cheeks for example. All the fillers we use are fully reversible, so if necessary they can be immediately dissolved. Our techniques are based on achieving natural results. A natural look is our forte and we pride ourselves in our undetectable results. We use Juvederm, Aliaxin, Belotero Balance, Restylane and Perfectha HA fillers amonsgst others, and we choose the one we feel will suit you best as an individual, based on the various properties of them that suit you best.
