When you visit a specialist for this, in most cases, it will be recommended to treat the tear trough with fillers. It is a very effective way to address under-eye bags, but it might not be suitable for everyone. For those who are hesitant about fillers, we would like to explain what other treatments are available. But;
Why shouldn't you get tear trough fillers?
There are several reasons for this. To start, the result of fillers is not permanent. The effect is visible for about 12-18 months. Therefore, maintenance treatments are necessary to sustain the effect. It is thus worth considering looking for a treatment with a lasting result. Additionally, you might be prone to fluid retention. In this case, it is advised not to undergo a filler treatment. In that situation, it is essential to find an alternative.
The Plexr treatment
The first alternative to tear trough filler treatment is a Plexr treatment. This treatment is a non-surgical technique. Plexr uses plasma energy to tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles, and rejuvenate the skin. The plasma stream is comparable to light electrical shocks that create small burns on the uppermost layer of the skin. The skin tightens, making Plexr ideal for treating under-eye bags and skin laxity. Due to its strong and promising results, non-surgical eyelid lifts are now even performed with Plexr.
Lower Eyelid Correction
Another effective alternative to tear trough filler is lower eyelid correction. Unlike Plexr, this treatment is surgical. A small incision is made under the eye, after which excess tissue is removed. Lower eyelid correction subtly restores one's natural freshness. Because it is not a drastic change, natural beauty is preserved, just without the signs of fatigue.
In short, having a chronically tired appearance can be a thing of the past. There are multiple paths that lead to Rome; it's just a matter of finding what suits you best. For this, you can schedule a free consultation with one of our doctors, so together you can find a suitable solution.
