Is tear trough treatment painful?

We make every effort to minimise any discomfort you may experience. Emla cream (a topical anaesthetic cream) is applied approximately 20 mins before treatment to the lower eyelid area. This numbs the skin and minimises any pain.

Clients experience redness, burning and swelling at the injection site and any lumpiness is usually temporary. There is also the risk of bruising, but every effort will be made to minimise this.
