TREATMENT OVERVIEW
A tear trough filler is an aesthetic treatment used to add volume underneath the eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles and hollows that contribute to a fatigued look.
Bella Vou's expert practitioners use top-tier hyaluronic acid-based products uniquely suited for the delicate under-eye area. Their precision and refined technique ensure results that look natural, giving you a refreshed and alert appearance.
Before the procedure starts, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the target area to minimize discomfort. Afterward, a fine needle is expertly used to inject the hyaluronic acid gel into the skin beneath the eyes. The product delicately fills the voids, smoothing out the under-eye area and diminishing the appearance of darkness and hollows.
Recovery after a tear trough filler treatment is swift for most patients, allowing a return to daily activities almost immediately. Some individuals may experience mild bruising or swelling, but these side effects are usually short-lived and can be covered by concealer if necessary.
Bella Vou's state-of-the-art clinic provides bespoke treatment plans for your individual needs, utmost care, and attention from highly skilled staff. With a comforting environment and cutting-edge techniques, Bella Vou ensures a luxury experience with effective and satisfying outcomes that reflect a naturally youthful look.
Our aesthetic professionals are not only artists but are also medically trained to prioritize your safety and wellbeing. Beauty begins with confidence, and at Bella Vou, we make it our mission to ensure you leave feeling more confident and delighted with your results.
At Bella Vou, patient comfort is our priority. We administer a topical anaesthetic to alleviate discomfort during the procedure. Patients usually report minimal discomfort due to the gentle technique and fine needle used.
When administered by the skilled practitioners at Bella Vou, tear trough fillers are very safe. The treatment carries a low risk of complications, and our team's expertise further minimizes this risk.
Improvements can generally be seen immediately after the procedure. However, the full effect will become more apparent as any potential swelling subsides, which usually takes a few days.
Tear trough fillers are best suited for addressing hollowing and dark circles under the eyes. They may not be the solution for all types of under-eye issues, such as pronounced eye bags. Your specialist can discuss alternative treatments if necessary.
Bella Vou recommends that you avoid wearing makeup on the treated area for at least 24 hours to minimize the risk of infection. It's also advisable to avoid strenuous activities and alcohol for the first day after treatment.
The longevity of tear trough fillers can vary with individual factors, but typically, the results last from 6 to 12 months. At Bella Vou, we can schedule regular follow-up treatments to maintain your revitalized appearance.
Yes, similar to other hyaluronic acid-based fillers, tear trough fillers can be dissolved if the results are not what you were expecting. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to safely dissolve the filler.

Dr. Mark Holmes is brilliant! I came in for lip fillers and anti-wrinkle injections a few months ago and I feel great! He is so considerate and informative and always gives you a natural result. You’ll see me again soon!

I have been going to see Mark for a few years now at Bella Vou, he is the most kind and understanding physician and incredibly knowledgeable. He will never do more than is necessary or sensible and has given me some excellent advice and excellent results with Anti-Wrinkle Injection and fillers he has done for me, giving a very natural result. He is also the only consultant I have seen over the years for anti Wrinkle Injections that has never given me any bruising after the injections, which is fantastic. The same with fillers – in the past I’ve had fillers from different practitioners with some horrendous bruising but with Mark there was none – amazing stuff! 🙂 I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone more than Mark with my face and wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

Mark is an excellent human being! Mark is expert in his field and gave me a wealth of information regarding the dermal fillers. It was my first ever procedure so was very anxious about it. I am beyond happy with the results. It’s so natural and has taken years off me! My husband was amazed. Thank you!

★★★★★
I had tear-trough fillers done a month ago. I am delighted to say that I no longer look tired all the time, nor do I have dark circles under my eyes anymore. I feel overall that my eyes are vastly improved. Mark… was at all times courteous, friendly and professional. The aftercare and follow-up was brilliant and I felt very well looked after. I would thoroughly recommend both Mark… and Bella Vou if you are considering a treatment

I have put off having any kind of aesthetic treatment for years due to being scared of needles and incredibly nervous about it not looking natural or something going horribly wrong! However Mark has proven to be a brilliant practitioner to see – so patient and knowledgeable – I have never felt pressured to have a procedure when visiting for a consultation and really like his approach to doing a little at a time until a client like me is comfortable. I could not recommend him and Bella Vou’s more highly.

My experience was very good. Dr Mark is very professional, but also very personable, putting you at ease. My treatment although minor was carried out with very little discomfort. I’m very happy with the results.

Dr Mark Holmes was nothing but marvellous. I had some filler to my top lip and I am in love with my results, I even had no bruising (which I was prepared for!). I will definitely be a returning customer!

Throughout Consultation and Procedure Mark was professional and respectful. He explained the best treatment for me to gain the result I hoped to achieve – a fresher and less tired look. He understood my nervousness and was reassuring and supportive when having the procedure – dermal fillers. The result was perfect and I would highly recommend Mark and Bella Vou.

Both times that I have seen Mark I have been happy with the result. I like a natural look and this is what I got. When I was concerned that the procedure hadn’t worked he reassured me that it might take a little longer than I had expected and he was right, of course. I will be booking another appointment when required.

I am always very pleased with the aesthetic treatments I receive from Mark. I have been receiving Derma fillers to treat the nasolabial area of my face since 2020, and I am always impressed how the treatments give a more rested and youthful appearance. I am a well seasoned Anti-Wrinkle Injection user, and have received injections since 2006, not from Bella Vou, but from two other clinics, one in London and another in Sussex. Generally, I was usually very happy with the results, but recently this year, I decided to start receiving my Anti-Wrinkle injections from Bella Vou as I knew Mark could be trusted. I can honestly say that the results are the best that I have had so far – really natural looking and not plastic or ‘tight’.

Mark was great. Really informative and gave me so much information so I was well equipped to make the right decision for me. Whilst I know I’ll need lower eye bag surgery in the future we have tried tear trough fillers. I hope to see the optimum results in a few weeks time.

Had a great experience with Dr Mark Holmes. After numerous consultations with other practitioners Mark instantly put me at ease by his less is more approach and focus on achieving natural looking results through non-surgical treatments. I was originally cautious about the use of dermal fillers as there are so many bad examples of its use out there but a day in and I’m already delighted with the results.

As I have aged I have noticed that I had lost the plumpness in my face and had started to look tired. I have always felt anxious about Dermal fillers and whether I would consider having this treatment. My consultation with Mark and him fully explaining about the treatment and what to expect reassured me that it was a treatment I could benefit from and would give me a natural confident look. I have been absolutely delighted with the results and have had many compliments on how well I look. I would definitely recommend Mark and wouldn’t hesitate having this treatment again.
