All these terms are often used interchangeably, but strictly speaking they don't mean the same thing. The tear trough is the diagonal, slightly curved groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye across the cheekbone area. Dark circles usually describe a dark discolouration in this area, whereas under-eye bags refer to a visible bulge or swelling in this region. Often, all three are connected: if the tear trough loses volume or is naturally pronounced, it casts a shadow – and this shadow is often perceived as dark circles or under-eye bags. By filling the tear trough with hyaluronic acid, the shadow disappears: under-eye bags and dark circles are reduced.
Tear trough filling – removing under-eye bags with hyaluronic acid by Aesthetify
Sunken tear troughs are often caused by natural volume loss in the face – over time, this makes shadows and under-eye bags noticeably more visible, giving a tired appearance. To gently restore this volume, the tear troughs can be filled with hyaluronic acid. At Aesthetify, experienced doctors tailor this minimally invasive treatment individually to your face and personal goals. This creates a natural, even transition to the cheek – for a fresher, more awake look.

Tear trough filler with hyaluronic acid – background on the treatment
-
-
In some people, the tear trough is genetically pronounced from a young age. In others, it develops only over time: facial fat tissue decreases with increasing age, causing the area under the eye to sit deeper and the tear trough to become more visible. Lack of sleep, fluid retention or thin, translucent skin can also intensify its appearance.
-
The treatment is particularly suitable when the shadows under the eyes are caused by volume loss. Hyaluronic acid as a filler can balance this out well and thus restore the initial state. In the case of fluid retention, excess skin or fatty tissue, or a particular pigmentation as the cause, hyaluronic acid alone can do little. In such cases, for example, a surgical eyelid lift may be necessary to achieve a lasting effect. Whether injecting the tear trough with hyaluronic acid is a sensible option in your individual case or whether alternatives should be considered, we are happy to clarify personally in the consultation.

Genuine impressions from Consultation and treatment
Frequently asked questions about tear trough filler
How long does the result last?
The durability of hyaluronic acid depends on various factors: dosage, treatment area, the individual's metabolism, skin condition and lifestyle all influence how long the treatment lasts. Thanks to the use of particularly high-quality products, the result of a hyaluronic acid treatment at Aesthetify usually lasts up to 18 months. Regularly renewing the treatment can be worthwhile for a consistently refreshed appearance.
How safe is tear trough filler treatment?
Treating under-eye bags and dark circles with hyaluronic acid is generally a safe and effective method and takes only a few minutes. In rare cases, infections, bruising or allergic reactions can occur. Temporary swelling or redness may appear after the treatment, but this usually disappears on its own within a few days. We use a particularly fine needle – this makes the injections so gentle that bruising usually doesn't even occur. Your treating doctor will in any case inform you in detail about potential risks and side effects.
When am I presentable again after the treatment?
As a rule, you are presentable again immediately after the tear trough filler treatment and can go about your everyday life. You don't need to accept any major restrictions – you should simply avoid intense sport, sauna visits or other physical strain for a few days.
What does tear trough filler cost?
The exact cost of the treatment depends on the individual effort involved and, above all, on the amount of hyaluronic acid required. As a guide, you can expect around 0.5 ml of hyaluronic acid per side, with a current price of €550.00/ml. Of course, at Aesthetify you will receive a well-founded, transparent estimate of the expected costs before the actual treatment.
