A Signature eye rejuvenation procedure doesn’t just remove lines around the eyes. It doesn’t just fill hollows, but restores youth to the eye area in a way that is exactly opposite to the sequence in which the eye ages. In this way the natural aging process is preserved and the eye becomes fresher and more youthful but never looks “done”.
The Amara Signature eye rejuvenation treatment is the ultimate way to rejuvenate the tear trough and undereye, brow and eye area to the maximum extent possible without, (and better than) surgery.
It is not suitable for everyone so a consultation is the first step. At this step, our expert doctor will assess your eyes fully which involves pictures form multiple angles and with multiple expressions.
The results of this approach last for several years and reverse several years of aging, removing the appearance of aging with a very safe and carefully considered, tailored treatment plan. It is not suitable for everyone so booking a consultation does not guarantee treatment.

As the undereye area is the most difficult part of the face to treat, It is vital that, should you decide to treat your tear trough, you choose an experienced injector. Not only is the tear trough a technically difficult area to correct, but it is also an area that requires a very different plan from person to person, so assessment is more important than in other areas. Sometimes there is a need for more volume on the cheek to ensure a natural tear trough, and to avoid overfilling. Overfilling is when too much dermal filler is used resulting in puffiness under the eyes. Over treating under eye hollows can result in undereye bags.
Treating the undereyes is the most rejuvenating treatment that can be done to the face. Undereye hollows begin to deepen from our late twenties. The undereye is the part of the face that ages first in terms of fat loss, and there is little to no fat loss in the rest of the face for another 7 years. Correcting the undereye can therefore make someone aged 35 look up to 7 years younger from a very small amount of filler. But it must be applied correctly, and by an experienced Doctor!
Overfilling is a common rookie mistake, and because the eye are is prone to swelling and retaining water, just 5% too much filler can result in 50% extra water which causes eyebags.
This patient, Gosia, had a delightful transformation around her eye area. She had been feeling and looking tired. Her cheek needed volume to allow our doctors to create a dramatic and very natural improvement of Gosia’s under eye area.
Another gentle procedure under the eyes required a Basic Signature undereye treatment to achieve this immediate effect. After the procedure, there was slight redness which subsided within 30 minutes.
This patient underwent an incredible transformation, greatly boosting her confidence. Geri opted for an advanced Signature eye rejuvenation. Real patients, real results at Amara. These are non surgical results, achieved in less than 30 minute procedures and without any downtime.

Tear troughs are hollows under the eyes that area a result of a loss of fat in the infraorbital compartment. Everyone has tear troughs but some can be deeper than others. This happens because of aging but sometimes can be a genetic characteristic.
Tear trough filler is a very safe treatment in the right hands, but it can go wrong. Inexperienced injectors can overfill the area resulting in puffiness due to impaired lymphatic drainage. Bruising is also a potential side effect, more likely when not using a cannula. Contrary to popular belief, under eye filler does NOT cause blindness. Be sure to go to an experienced injector who knows their anatomy!
See our price list for tear trough filler prices, but as of january 2023 tear trough filler is €600. As the most technically difficult area to treat with filler along with nose filler, it is usually best only to be done by someone with several years experience and several thousand procedures under their belt.
If you use a cannula there is no recovery time with tear trough filler. The risk of bruising is very low, and as we always under-treat to preempt swelling, any swelling means the result will become slightly better. If a bruise does develop, which is the case in less than 5% of our treatments, it is usually smaller than a spot and can be covered with makeup.
Hyaluronic acid is a very safe and hypoallergenic compound so doesn't cause allergic reactions like fillers in decades gone by. The only remaining side effects are over treatment by inexperienced doctors or bruises which can also be more likely in the hands of inexperienced doctors or injectors who don't use cannulas where indicated.
Tear trough filler works instantly, as the hyaluronic acid fills the under eye hollow physically and immediately, you can see the results straight away. There is a tendency to swell perhaps a further 5% which can take a day or two.
Tear trough filler is technically indicated to last for only 6-12 months, however in our experience, due to how immobile the under eye area is, filler can stay here undisturbed for a lot longer than other areas. Under eye filler can last for several years.
Tear trough filler is different to well known anti wrinkle injection drugs as it doesnt have a direct impact on the muscles. It will help fine lines by reflating loose skin but doesnt change the way muscles move.
Large volumes of filler must be avoided for safety reasons. The filler selected must also be suitable to the very thin skin in the region. To avoid complications a thin filler is used and placed in a flat, sheet like manner. Needles can be used in certain instances but in most using a cannula and some light massaging is best. A cannula is more suitable than a needle in most cases because it minimises the chances of bruising, and allows our doctors to inject filler flatly in multiple areas with only one injection point.
Tear trough filler addresses several problems. Bone recession, along with sagging or drooping of the fat pads in and around the eyes detract from a fresh eye appearance. Volume deficits that arise as part of these natural ageing processes contribute greatly to a tired overall look. Discolouration and dark circles often result as the skin is placed under duress.
The aim of Tear Trough Filler treatment is always to correct these volume deficits and improve the tone of the skin around the eyes. While a natural tear trough treatment will improve discolouration we also have medical grade creams which will significantly restore the condition of the skin around the eyes. Also anti wrinkle injections can be used with tear trough filler for even better results.
By carefully placing dermal filler into deficits, we subtly restore volume to rejuvenate the appearance of the area. Tear trough filler can be placed in specific deficit points or it can be injected a sheet like manner to ensure the volume added improves the area in a natural way.
The number of people looking to address these concerns has increased dramatically recently thanks to improvements in product technology (the Juvederm Vycross Range) and technique which lead to better results. No longer is surgery the only way to fix tired eyes.
Small amounts go a long way. Typically tear trough fillers only need 1ml of juvederm high quality vycross fillers like volift or volbella. Thats 0.5ml per eye. This is only 1/5th of a teaspoon, or put another way 1/10 of a teaspoon under each eye!
Your under eyes will get results that restore an even and filled out under eye area. The skin tone and colour of the skin should also improve following the injection of hyaluronic acid as water is drawn to the area.
Tear trough fillers are licensed to last up to 18 months, but because this part of the face barely moves, filler can last much longer in some people. This is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because the filler doesn't need to be done so often. It is a curse because cheap fillers can be visible and look blue in colour for a long time. Don't worry though, you can dissolve these fillers with hyalase.
Tear troughs rarely need more than 1ml of filler, 1/2 a ml per side. Sometimes a cheek filler treatment might be needed to complement.
