Tear Trough Filler Southampton

Tear trough filler is a hyaluronic acid injectable placed in the hollow beneath the eye to replenish lost volume, soften dark shadows and reduce a tired appearance. It’s a non-surgical alternative to lower blepharoplasty.

UK pricing typically ranges from around £300 to £600, depending on the clinic, the practitioner’s qualifications and the product used. Tear trough filler at Lumineux Aesthetics starts from £275.

Results for most clients last between 9 and 18 months. Longevity depends on the product used, your metabolism, lifestyle factors, and how the filler is placed.

Most treatments use between 0.5ml and 1ml in total, usually split across both sides. The exact amount is always personalised to your anatomy. Over-filling this area is one of the most common mistakes, so less is often more.

Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. We apply a topical numbing cream before starting (if you desire), and where appropriate, we use a blunt-tipped cannula rather than a needle, which significantly reduces sensation.

It depends on the cause of your dark circles. If the darkness is shadowing caused by hollowing beneath the eye, filler can make a visible difference by lifting the skin away from the underlying blood vessels. If the darkness is caused by pigmentation in the skin itself, filler won’t change it.

Treatments like polynucleotides, medical-grade skincare or pigmentation-targeted therapies will be more effective. We’ll identify the cause at the consultation and recommend the right approach.

You’ll see an immediate improvement straight after treatment, although some swelling is normal in the first few days. The final, settled result is noticeable at around two weeks.

Yes. Because we use hyaluronic acid-based fillers, the product can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you’re not happy with the result or in the rare event of a complication. We keep hyaluronidase on-site at all times.

When performed by a qualified, experienced practitioner, tear trough filler is generally safe, but the area carries a higher risk profile than most because of the blood vessels around the eye.

Choosing a medically trained, complications-trained practitioner who uses appropriate technique (like Jacqui) and keeps reversal agents on-site significantly reduces that risk.

The best fillers for the tear trough are soft, low-hydrophilic hyaluronic acid products specifically made for thin-skinned areas. We often use Teosyal Redensity II or Juvéderm Volbella, both of which are well-suited to this delicate area.

After consultation and numbing cream, filler is injected deep against the orbital bone using either a fine needle or a blunt cannula. The cannula technique involves a single small entry point per side, through which the product is gently delivered with a lowered risk of bruising. The whole process typically takes 30-45 minutes.

If you consistently look tired despite sleep and resting well, notice a hollow or shadow under your eyes that doesn’t lift with concealer, or feel your under-eye area has lost volume with age, you may be a candidate. The only way to know for sure is a face-to-face assessment: some concerns are better addressed with skin treatments rather than filler.

Most clients return for a top-up every 9–18 months, depending on how long their previous results lasted. We’ll never advise repeat treatment before it’s needed.
