Dark Circles and Eye Bags? Here’s How Tear Trough Fillers and Polynucleotides Can Help

Tired-looking eyes are one of the most common concerns we see at White Swan Aesthetics. Whether it’s hollow under eyes, puffiness, or dark circles, the area beneath the eyes can dramatically affect how fresh and youthful you appear.

Fortunately, there are advanced, non-surgical options that can address these issues effectively. At our Central London clinic, we offer both tear trough fillers and polynucleotide treatments, either individually or in combination, to help restore brightness and structure to the under-eye area.

What Causes Under-Eye Shadows and Hollows?

As we age, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner and loses elasticity. Volume loss in the midface and tear trough region can lead to shadows, making the eyes appear sunken and tired. This is often accompanied by changes in skin texture, dehydration, and pigmentation.

Addressing both the structural volume and the quality of the skin is key to creating a brighter, smoother appearance.

Tear Trough Fillers: Best for Volume Loss

Tear trough fillers are ideal for clients who have lost volume beneath the eyes. By carefully restoring this lost volume with a soft hyaluronic acid filler, the under-eye hollows become less pronounced, and the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek appears smoother.

At White Swan, we use Redensity II, a filler specifically designed for the delicate under-eye area. This premium product:

  • Integrates well with the tissue
  • Does not attract water, helping to avoid puffiness
  • Contains brightening ingredients that improve skin tone

Redensity II offers structure and light reflection, creating an immediate improvement in the appearance of deep shadows. No other skin booster or topical product can replace the level of volume correction this type of filler provides.

Polynucleotides: Best for Skin Regeneration

While fillers work beautifully for restoring structure, they don’t address skin quality. This is where polynucleotides come in.

Polynucleotides are bio-stimulatory molecules that encourage cell regeneration and tissue repair. They work by improving the skin’s ability to hydrate, rebuild collagen, and repair damage from environmental stress. Over time, this leads to firmer, brighter, and more resilient under-eye skin.

At White Swan Aesthetics, we use Plinest polynucleotides, a trusted, high-quality brand known for delivering regenerative results without irritation.

The Ideal Combination: Structure and Skin Health

The most natural and comprehensive under eye rejuvenation often comes from combining tear trough filler with polynucleotide treatments. Together, they address both the structural and surface level concerns that contribute to tired eyes:

  • Tear trough filler restores lost volume and smooths contour
  • Polynucleotides improve skin tone, texture, and long term resilience

This combination not only enhances the immediate result but also supports the skin’s long term health and youthful appearance.

Who Is the Right Candidate?

Tear trough filler is most effective for clients with:

  • Hollowing beneath the eyes
  • Moderate to severe volume loss
  • No significant under eye puffiness

Polynucleotides are suitable for:

  • Thin, crepey under eye skin
  • Early signs of ageing
  • Clients who are not ready for filler but want visible improvement

For many patients, combining both treatments provides the most balanced and natural outcome.

Your Treatment at White Swan Aesthetics

Each under eye treatment begins with a complimentary consultation with one of our qualified doctors. During this visit, we assess your anatomy, skin quality, and goals before recommending a personalised plan.

Our doctors are highly trained medical professionals with extensive experience in under-eye rejuvenation. We utilise advanced techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and maximum safety.

What to Expect from the Procedure

The treatment itself takes around 30 minutes. A very fine needle or cannula is used to place the filler or polynucleotide precisely beneath the skin. Most clients experience only mild discomfort and minimal downtime.

Results with tear trough filler are often immediate. Polynucleotides, by contrast, deliver a gradual improvement over a few weeks as your skin regenerates. In many cases, two or three polynucleotide sessions are recommended for optimal results.

Aftercare and Follow Up

After treatment, you may experience some mild swelling or bruising. These side effects are temporary and can be managed with ice packs and aftercare guidance from our team.

We are always available to support you post-treatment and will arrange follow-up appointments if needed to monitor your progress and top up as required.

Reveal Brighter, More Rested Eyes

If you’re tired of concealing dark circles or eye bags, the right under-eye treatment can make all the difference. Whether you need structural correction with tear trough filler, regenerative support from polynucleotides, or both, our team is here to guide you to the most effective solution.
