All Face Teeth Smile tear trough filler treatments are carried out by medically qualified practitioners who are fully trained and experienced in the procedure. We use only FDA-approved dermal filler products, which have been stringently tested for safety. Before we carry out the tear trough filler treatment, we meet you for a consultation at our Buckinghamshire clinic in Chalfont St Peter, during which we assess your suitability and explain the process.

The under-eye can be a sensitive area, so we take precautions to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the tear trough filler procedure. Topical numbing cream can be applied and the dermal filler we use contains a local anaesthetic, to reduce sensation. As a result, most patients find the treatment to be almost pain-free.

All injectable treatments like tear trough fillers carry the risk of side effects including bruising and swelling, as well as mild redness, tenderness and itching around the injection site. At Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter, we use a cannula (which is like a very fine, flexible needle) to place the tear trough filler, so the risk of bruising and swelling is minimised. If you do experience bruising, you can safely conceal it with make-up from the day after treatment.
