Minimal Discomfort*

Reduced Appearance of Tiredness or Sadness

As we age the skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity, age related volume loss also occurs resulting in the skin under the eyes to become looser leaving the tear troughs appearing hollow with dark circles or eye bags giving the appearance of tiredness or sadness, as eye bags deepen it can cast a shadow below your eyes worsening its appearance. Not only does age play a factor in tear trough deformities a hectic lifestyle, lack of sleep, dehydration and changes in weight can exacerbate the deformity.

The tear trough is an area between your cheek and lower eyelid.
