Tear Trough Filler with Dr. Pamela Benito

‘As we age, we lose soft tissue volume in the tear trough region where the cheekbone meets the under eye. This ageing change can cause the skin to become more wrinkled giving us tired looking eyes.

“The dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid – a substance that occurs naturally in the body. ”

— Dr. Pamela Benito

With a precise amount of hyaluronic acid filler, we can add volume to the area, reducing the darkness, hollows and wrinkles. It also improves skin quality by boosting collagen production and hydrating skin from the inside, giving the patient a younger, fresher, less tired-looking appearance.

The dermal fillers we use are made from hyaluronic acid – a substance that occurs naturally in the body. These types of fillers are biodegradable, which means that they will gradually be absorbed as the gel breaks down and water takes its place. When totally absorbed, the filler gel disappears unnoticed from the body.
