Frequently Asked Questions

• + Are tear trough fillers dermal fillers safe?

  Injecting dermal fillers under eyes is a relatively safe procedure with less serious risks than surgical methodologies. At Juvea Medical, we use reliable dermal fillers that contain natural compounds that are already present within the body in connective tissues.

  Additionally, our medical professionals are highly experienced and have years of experience within the cosmetic industry. We believe that by using premium dermal fillers and expert professionals, we reduce any severe risks.

  Plus, for your complete peace of mind, all of the tear trough fillers we use can be quickly dissolved should anything go wrong or if you simply don’t like the results. Using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, we can quickly dissolve the filler, returning it to its natural state.

• + How long do tear trough fillers last?

  Our hyaluronic fillers last roughly six to twelve months, but they can last even longer. We may recommend re-treatment if the hollowness returns after a few months.

• + Will there be any negative impact post treatment?

  You might notice some bruising or swelling around the eye area, which is completely normal. This should have been reduced within a couple of weeks. Due to this, we do not advise you to get fillers any closer than 2 weeks before a big event.

• + Am I eligible for tear trough fillers?

  If you have good general health, you would be eligible for eye filler, except if you’re pregnant. However, we explain the eligibility process in greater depth at your consultation.

• + Which dermal filler lasts the longest?

  The length of dermal fillers depends on a variety of factors: the density of the filler, the injection site and the patient’s metabolism. Our dermal fillers are semi-permanent as we use natural compounds, which are metabolised in your body. However, natural dermal fillers are safer than permanent dermal fillers as they can cause rashes, swelling, itching or bruising.

• + How soon will I notice the results?

  You should be able to notice the results immediately after the dermal filler injections, though the best result is usually visible after around 2 weeks.

• + Who is best suited for tear trough filler treatments?

  With tear trough fillers we notice the best results with clients who are younger than the age of 60. Above this age, the immediate results are limited due to the effects of reduced elasticity of the skin.

• + Do tear trough fillers hurt?

  Tear trough fillers are generally well-tolerated, causing minimal discomfort. We can administer numbing cream to the area so you do not feel pain during the treatment. Then, after treatment, there will be some bruising which can cause some discomfort, but this is minimal.

• + Can tear trough fillers treat dark circles?

  Tear trough fillers are great for addressing volume loss, which can reduce the appearance of dark shadows under the eyes. However, tear trough fillers might not completely eliminate pigmentation that is caused by genetics or lifestyle factors.

• + Will tear trough fillers look natural?

  Yes, our team focuses on achieving natural results for all patients. Our tear trough fillers will blend in with the surrounding tissue, giving you a natural, refreshed look.
