The best treatment for your under-eyes

Tear trough filler and under-eye polynucleotides both refresh tired eyes, but suit different problems. Here is how to choose, with our Southport team.

Two very different under-eye options

Tired under-eyes are one of the most common concerns, but the right treatment depends on the cause. Tear trough filler and under-eye polynucleotides both help, in completely different ways. This guide compares them so you choose well, part of our under-eye treatments in Southport.

Which Treatment Is Right For You?

Tear trough filler

Carefully placed hyaluronic acid filler that restores volume to a hollow under-eye, smoothing the groove and lifting the shadow that reads as tiredness.
9 to 18 months

This is suitable for those looking for:

A genuine hollow casting a shadow

Under-eye polynucleotides

Regenerative injectables that improve the quality of the delicate under-eye skin, softening crepiness and dark, thin-skinned tones over a course.
Course of 2 to 3, maintained every 6 to 9 months

This is suitable looking for:

Thin, crepey or poor-quality under-eye skin

The core difference

Tear trough filler fills a hollow to lift a shadow, so it suits a genuine sunken under-eye. Polynucleotides improve the skin itself, so they suit thin, crepey or poor-quality skin rather than a hollow. One restores volume; the other rebuilds skin quality, and not everyone is suited to filler here.

Which is right for you

If your under-eye is genuinely hollow and casts a shadow, tear trough filler is likely the answer. If the skin is thin, crepey or the darkness comes from skin quality rather than a hollow, polynucleotides suit better and are gentler. The under-eye is delicate, so we assess suitability carefully at consultation and are honest about which will help you most.

Can you combine them?

Yes, and often the best under-eye results come from doing both, restoring a hollow with filler and improving skin quality with polynucleotides.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

It depends on the cause. Filler helps where a hollow casts a shadow; polynucleotides help where thin, poor-quality skin is the issue.
It suits a genuine hollow with good skin quality. Puffiness, bags or very thin skin may suit polynucleotides better, which we assess at consultation.
Polynucleotides are very gentle and suit those not suited to filler. Filler is also well tolerated but is more technique-sensitive in this delicate area.
Filler often lasts nine to eighteen months, while polynucleotide results build over a course and are maintained every six to nine months.
The right choice depends on whether your concern is a hollow or skin quality. We assess your under-eyes and advise honestly.
