Summary
- Tear trough filler uses a soft hyaluronic acid (HA) gel to fill the hollow left when under-eye tissue loses volume, smoothing the junction between the lower eyelid and the cheek.
- Not everyone with dark circles or eye bags is a good candidate for filler. The doctor first needs to tell whether the cause is a hollow, a fat pad, pigmentation or visible blood vessels.
- At Vinfinity Clinic in Udon Thani, a doctor assesses and injects every case personally, uses small amounts, and reviews the result before deciding whether to add more.
What causes a tear trough?
With age, the fat and supporting tissue under the eyes thins out, and the bone around the eye socket changes shape. This creates a shadowed groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek, so you look tired even after a good night's sleep. Some people have this groove from a young age simply because of their natural facial structure.
| What you see | Common cause | Can filler help? |
|---|---|---|
| A deep, shadowed groove | Loss of under-eye volume, changes in bone structure | Often, if the skin is not too thin |
| Puffy under-eye bags | Under-eye fat pushing forward | In some cases it can smooth the transition; very large bags may be better suited to surgery |
| Brown discolouration | Skin pigmentation | No; skincare or other treatments are more suitable |
| Purple-blue tint | Thin skin showing the blood vessels beneath | Limited; skin thickness needs to be assessed |
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
- Good candidates: people with a clear, shadowed tear trough, under-eye skin that is still thick enough, and a wish for natural-looking results.
- Use caution or not suitable: frequent under-eye puffiness or fluid retention, very large fat bags, very thin and lax under-eye skin, infection at the injection site, pregnancy or breastfeeding.
If filler is not right for you, the doctor will tell you honestly and suggest other options, such as restoring the upper cheek first, using a skin booster to improve skin quality, or referring you to consider surgery.
How it works at Vinfinity Clinic, Udon Thani
- Assessment The doctor looks at your under-eye area in light from several directions, from the front and the side, to identify which layer the shadow comes from.
- Planning You are told the amount, the injection points and the full cost before anything starts. For some people the upper cheek needs support first before the under-eye area will look right.
- Product check in front of you Only Thai FDA-registered products are used. The box is opened in front of you so you can check it before injection.
- Injection Small amounts are injected slowly, in the layer that suits your skin. Filler-dissolving enzyme is kept on hand at the clinic.
- Follow-up At around 2 weeks, once all swelling has settled, the doctor reviews whether any top-up is needed.

- Sleep with your head raised on the first night, and avoid massaging or pressing the treated area.
- If pain keeps getting worse, the skin turns pale or changes colour, or you notice any vision problems, contact the clinic immediately.
