A treatment that may be considered for the appearance of tear troughs, hollow under-eye areas and certain forms of under-eye shadowing. Every tear trough treatment at M1 Med Beauty is assessed and performed by an AHPRA-registered doctor at our Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD clinics. Free consultations.
The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye along the junction between the lower eyelid and the cheek. The appearance of the tear trough varies between individuals. In some people, this area may appear more defined due to factors such as individual anatomy, genetics and facial structure. The appearance of the under-eye area may also change over time, including variations in how light and shadow are perceived in this region.
Some people may naturally have a more defined tear trough from a younger age, while in others the appearance of this area may change over time. The degree of prominence varies between individuals.
Not all under-eye shadowing has the same underlying cause. Understanding the difference is important because treatment suitability varies depending on the characteristics of the area and individual anatomy.
In some cases, a more prominent tear trough may create increased shadowing beneath the eyes. This type of shadowing is related to the contours and structure of the under-eye area and may appear differently depending on lighting conditions and facial anatomy.
A doctor-performed volumising treatment may be considered for individuals where under-eye shadowing is associated with the appearance of a tear trough or hollow under-eye area.
In other cases, dark circles are related primarily to pigmentation within the skin rather than the contours of the under-eye area. The appearance of pigmentation-related dark circles can vary in colour and intensity.
A volumising treatment may not be suitable for all forms of dark circles. During your consultation, a doctor will assess the area and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances, including the potential benefits, limitations, risks and treatment considerations.
At M1 Med Beauty, a doctor-performed volumising treatment may be considered for the appearance of tear troughs and hollow under-eye areas. Treatment involves the placement of volume in selected areas beneath the eye, depending on individual anatomy and clinical assessment.
The under-eye area is one of the most anatomically complex areas of the face and requires careful assessment, treatment planning and precise placement. Every tear trough treatment at M1 Med Beauty is assessed and performed by an AHPRA-registered doctor.
Treatment effects may last for up to to six months in some patients, although duration varies between individuals. Your doctor will discuss potential outcomes, treatment considerations and whether treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances during your consultation.
Individual recovery experiences vary. Temporary treatment-related effects such as swelling, bruising, tenderness or puffiness may occur following treatment, particularly in the under-eye area.
The appearance of the treated area may change during the days following treatment as any temporary treatment-related effects resolve. Your doctor will provide personalised aftercare instructions and discuss any post-treatment considerations before you leave.
Individual results vary. The outcomes shown here are specific to this patient and do not necessarily reflect the outcomes other patients may experience. All cosmetic procedures carry risks. Please consult one of our doctors before making any decisions.
A range of factors may contribute to the appearance of hollow under-eye areas and dark circles. These can include individual anatomy, genetics, facial structure, skin characteristics and changes in the distribution of facial volume over time.
In some cases, the contour of the under-eye area may create increased shadowing beneath the eyes. A more prominent tear trough can contribute to this appearance, depending on facial anatomy and lighting conditions.
Dark circles may also be associated with skin pigmentation rather than the shape or contours of the under-eye area. The appearance of dark circles can vary considerably between people and may involve one or more contributing factors.
During your consultation, a doctor will assess the under-eye area and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Whether a volumising treatment may be appropriate depends on the factors contributing to the appearance of the dark circles.
In some cases, dark circles are associated with the appearance of a tear trough or hollow under-eye area. Where under-eye shadowing is related to the contours of the area, a doctor-performed volumising treatment may be considered as a treatment option.
In other cases, dark circles may be associated primarily with skin pigmentation rather than the shape or contours of the under-eye area. A volumising treatment may not be suitable for all forms of dark circles.
During your consultation, a doctor will assess the under-eye area and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances, including the potential benefits, limitations, risks and treatment considerations.
The duration of any treatment effect varies between patients and depends on a range of factors, including individual characteristics and treatment considerations.

A doctor will discuss potential treatment outcomes, duration considerations and whether treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances during your consultation.
