Tear troughs are depressions located on the inner side of the lower eyelid, extending along the side of the nose, often formed due to atrophy and sagging of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbital septum. This age-related structural problem not only makes a person look tired and haggard but also intensifies dark circles and deepens the appearance of facial aging. With the growing global demand for tear trough fillers, understanding their causes, treatment options, and safety guidelines has become essential knowledge for medical aesthetics professionals.
This article will delve into how to achieve periorbital rejuvenation through scientific methods, starting with the anatomical mechanisms of tear trough formation, a clinical comparison of mainstream filler materials, and the core principles of safe injection. We will particularly focus on the innovative product Hydrofill Facial Filler, a composite filler specifically designed for tear troughs and periorbital issues. Its multiple advantages, including long-lasting support, natural integration, and dark circle correction, are making it the preferred solution for under-eye hollowing in clinics and institutions worldwide.
Causes of Tear Trough Formation
The formation of tear troughs is mainly related to the following factors:
Congenital factors: Underdevelopment of the upper jaw, a recessed lower orbital rim, or naturally thin skin around the eyes can make tear troughs subtly visible even in youth.
Aging process: As we age, bone gradually resorbs, the orbicularis oculi muscle's supporting ligaments loosen, and subcutaneous fat atrophies, leading to loss of skin support, sagging, and deepening of tear troughs.
Lifestyle habits: Chronic lack of sleep, excessive eye strain, malnutrition, or extreme weight loss can accelerate collagen loss around the eyes, making tear troughs more prominent.
Improper care: Lack of sun protection, insufficient moisturizing, and frequent facial expressions can also exacerbate skin laxity and hollowing around the eyes.
Comparison of Traditional Tear Trough Fillers
Currently, the most common dermal fillers used for treating tear troughs include hyaluronic acid, collagen, and combination products, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
Material Type | Advantages | Insufficient |
Hyaluronic acid | Wide range of indications, highly adaptable, long-lasting (1-2 years), high safety profile, and dissolvable. | It is prone to the "Tyndall effect" (causing a bluish discoloration if injected too superficially), and the effect on concealing dark circles is generally mediocre. |
Collagen | Opaque, milky white color, effectively covers dark circles; soft, natural, and highly compatible with the skin. | Short duration of effect (approximately 6 months), high cost, and requires frequent follow-up injections. |
Combination products (such as "Panda Needle") | Contains nourishing ingredients that can brighten the eye area and improve fine lines and dark circles. | Short duration of effect (approximately 4 months), limited efficacy, and limited support. |
The skin in the tear trough area is thin and rich in blood vessels, requiring fillers with exceptional fineness, biocompatibility, support, and safety. Traditional materials either have a short duration of effect or are prone to problems such as translucency and unevenness, and may even fail to address both dark circles and hollowing simultaneously. Therefore, there is an urgent market need for a revolutionary product that provides long-lasting support, is natural and safe, and comprehensively improves various eye area concerns.
Hydrofill Facial Filler：The Best Solution To Precisely Address The Core Problems of Tear Troughs.
Addressing the clinical challenges of tear trough filling, Hydrofill Facial Filler was developed. It utilizes ultra-fine molecular cross-linking technology, combining high-purity hyaluronic acid with active moisturizing factors, achieving the following:
✅ Deep support and natural integration
Hydrofill facial filler has a soft and elastic molecular structure, allowing for precise injection into the upper layer of the periosteum or the deep dermis. It provides long-lasting support while seamlessly integrating with the body's own tissues, avoiding stiffness, translucency, or unevenness.
✅ Dual-action improvement: Filling + Skin brightening
Its unique pearlescent texture not only effectively conceals dark circles but also stimulates collagen regeneration, improving fine lines and dullness around the eyes, achieving a dual effect of "filling and brightening."
✅ Long-lasting effect, safe and reversible
Thanks to intelligent cross-linking technology, Hydrofill Facial Filler lasts for 9-12 months, far exceeding similar products. Furthermore, due to its high biocompatibility, the allergy rate is extremely low, and it can be dissolved with enzymes if necessary, ensuring safe and controllable treatment.
✅ Suitable for multi-level injection
Whether for superficial correction of mild to moderate tear troughs or deep support for severe tear troughs, Hydrofill Facial Filler can be flexibly adapted, avoiding the "Tyndall effect" and delivering a natural, youthful appearance.
Tear Trough Safety and Procedural Recommendations
Tear trough filling is a delicate procedure that must be performed by an experienced physician. A comprehensive assessment of the patient's periorbital structures is necessary before the procedure to avoid risks such as vascular embolism. Hydrofill Facial Filler is equipped with standardized injection guidelines to support physicians in achieving:
●Precise layer positioning (above the periosteum/deep dermis)
●Micro-injections at multiple points, evenly distributed.
●Adjust and shape in real time to avoid overfilling.
Why Choose Hydrofill Filler?
Hydrofill Filler with its three core advantages—long-lasting support, natural integration, and dual-action skin brightening—it has become the preferred solution for addressing tear trough problems in medical aesthetics clinics worldwide.
