Tear Trough Fillers Ottawa

Tear trough fillers are a non-surgical injectable treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Ottawa. The procedure uses hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers to address the hollow shadow that can appear below the lower eyelid, soften the transition between the eye and the cheek, and refresh an under-eye area shaped by volume loss.

Book an Appointment

Tear trough filler treatment can soften under-eye hollows, reduce the look of dark shadows linked to a volume deficit, smooth the eyelid-to-cheek transition and refresh a tired-looking gaze. The procedure may be received on its own, or paired with complementary in-clinic options such as cheek fillers, other injectable treatments, skin tightening technologies or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals and anatomy.

Because every patient’s under-eye anatomy, goals and medical history are different, tear trough fillers at our Dermapure clinics in Ottawa always begin with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether tear trough fillers are the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Consultation

Each patient’s under-eye area is unique. During your consultation, our experienced injectors will assess your skin quality, facial anatomy, and volume loss to determine the best approach to your tear trough filler treatment. This evaluation includes a detailed review of anatomical structures, such as the suborbicularis oculi fat pad and the lid-cheek junction, to ensure precise filler placement. By tailoring the treatment to address specific concerns like under-eye hollows or dark circles, we aim to achieve natural, balanced, and youthful results. Our comprehensive approach prioritizes patient satisfaction and takes into account factors like the depth of injection and filler properties for optimal aesthetic outcomes.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Before starting treatment, we take before-and-after photos to document your results. This step allows us to monitor your progress and evaluate the impact of the tear trough treatment over time. By assessing changes in the under-eye area, including the lid-cheek junction and overall volume restoration, our injectors can refine their approach to ensure the best aesthetic outcomes.

Step 3

The Procedure

During your treatment session, the filler is carefully injected into the area beneath the eyes, targeting the tear trough region with precision. Most treatments take around 30–45 minutes. Using advanced hyaluronic acid-based fillers, our injectors ensure proper depth and placement to address volume loss effectively. The procedure involves minimal discomfort, as a numbing cream is applied beforehand for a comfortable experience. Patients can expect immediate results, including a smoother lid-cheek junction, reduced shadows, and an overall rejuvenated appearance. This nonsurgical correction of eye hollows provides a refreshed, youthful look with minimal downtime.

Step 4

Return to Daily Activities

The recovery time for this treatment is minimal, making it an ideal option for patients seeking a nonsurgical correction of under-eye concerns. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after the procedure. While mild swelling or bruising may occur, particularly around the periorbital region, these effects generally resolve within a few days. Applying an ice pack can help reduce swelling and enhance comfort post-treatment. This quick recovery, combined with the immediate improvement in the tear trough area, ensures a seamless integration into your daily routine.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Results typically last from 9 to 18 months, depending on the type of hyaluronic acid filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and skin quality. Regular follow-up sessions are recommended to monitor the treatment area, including the tear trough and surrounding structures like the lid-cheek junction, ensuring long-lasting and natural results. Some patients may require additional touch-up treatments to maintain volume and address age-related changes in facial anatomy. A comprehensive treatment approach allows for consistent patient satisfaction and optimal outcomes over time.

Contraindications

Tear trough filler treatment may not be suitable for everyone. Key contraindications include active skin infections or inflammation in the under-eye area, which can interfere with healing or increase the risk of complications; pregnancy or breastfeeding, as cosmetic procedures like filler injections are not recommended during these periods; allergies to hyaluronic acid or other filler ingredients, requiring a review of medical history to ensure patient safety; a history of keloid scarring, which may increase the likelihood of adverse reactions and/or blood disorders or the use of anticoagulants; patients should consult their doctor about discontinuation of anticoagulants days before injection to minimize risks. <br><br> It is essential to disclose your full medical history during the consultation to ensure a safe and effective treatment tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tear trough filler?

Tear trough filler treatment is a nonsurgical correction procedure using injectable dermal fillers, specifically designed to restore volume in the under-eye area. This treatment addresses tear trough hollows, eye hollows, and dark circles, which often contribute to a fatigued appearance. By targeting the tear trough region and lid-cheek junction with hyaluronic acid-based fillers, this cosmetic procedure provides natural results that enhance facial anatomy and skin quality. Dermal filler injections, particularly hyaluronic acid gels, are preferred for their ability to smooth the periorbital region and support youthful appearance through collagen stimulation and volume restoration.

How long do the results of tear trough fillers last?

Tear trough filler results typically last between 9 to 18 months, depending on factors such as the type of hyaluronic acid filler, cross-linking technology used, and individual metabolic rates. Advanced filler properties, such as optimal dermal filler rheology, allow for better adaptation to the under-eye area's unique anatomical structures. Follow-up sessions are recommended to maintain aesthetic outcomes and address age-related changes, including upper cheek volume loss or periorbital rejuvenation needs.
