Tear trough rejuvenation is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment for patients with lower eyelid dark circles or dark hollows (also referred to as ‘tear troughs’ or ‘tear trough defects’).

Anti-wrinkle injections using botulinum toxin (Botox® or Azzalure® – a purified protein which, for 3-4 months, blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles which cause wrinkles and lines allowing these to relax) are typically used for smoothing out frown lines, forehead and laughter lines.

Restylane, and Juvéderm, the most commonly used dermal fillers, are crystal-clear gels made from stabilized non-animal hyaluronic acid and water. The gel is a biotechnologically produced version of hyaluronic acid, a tissue friendly substance that occurs naturally in the body. These are used to replace volume in the face, improving lines and hollows.
