Tear-Through Fillers

Supporting a Refreshed, Rested Appearance

At Equinox Beauty & Cosmetic Clinic, we understand how under-eye shadows and hollows can affect how you feel about your appearance. The delicate area beneath the eyes often changes earlier than other parts of the face, leading to a tired or drawn look even when you feel well-rested.

Some people are comfortable with these natural changes, while others prefer to explore safe, non-surgical treatments to soften their appearance. Tear-through fillers are one option that may help restore balance and reduce the shadowing effect, giving a fresher, more rejuvenated look while maintaining your natural features.

Our Services

What Are Tear-Through Fillers?

Tear-through fillers are a non-surgical option designed to restore gentle volume beneath the lower eyelid. By placing small amounts of carefully selected product into this delicate area, the transition between the under-eye and the upper cheek can be softened. This approach may help reduce the appearance of hollows, shadowing, or tiredness while maintaining a natural look.

The treatment uses hyaluronic-acid-based products, which are commonly chosen in aesthetics for their hydrating and supportive qualities. Every treatment begins with a personalised consultation, where your suitability is assessed and your treatment plan is tailored to your needs.

Duration: 30–45 Minutes
Discomfort: Minimal with anaesthetic
Downtime: 1–2 days (may vary)
Results: 9–18 months (approx.)

What We Do

What Does the Treatment Involve?

Consultation: Your journey starts with a detailed discussion about your concerns, goals, and medical history. This ensures the treatment is suitable for you.
Procedure: A topical anaesthetic or numbing agent is applied for comfort. Using a fine cannula or needle, product is carefully placed in the tear-through area.
Aftercare: Mild swelling or bruising is possible and usually subsides within a few days. You will be provided with personalised aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Risks and Side Effects

All medical procedures carry risks. Temporary effects can include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Rare but more significant complications will be explained at consultation. Choosing experienced clinicians, like our AHPRA-registered team with over 15 years in aesthetic care, helps reduce risks and ensures your safety is prioritised.

Results

You may see improvement immediately, with final results visible as swelling settles over 2–4 weeks. Results generally last between 9 and 18 months, varying with individual factors such as metabolism, skin condition, and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are tear-through fillers?

Tear-through fillers are injectable treatments that target the hollow area beneath the eyes, often called the tear trough. This is a delicate region where loss of volume can lead to shadows, fine lines, and a tired appearance. By carefully placing hyaluronic-acid-based products in this area, the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek can be smoothed, creating a more refreshed look. The treatment is performed non-surgically, and results are typically subtle and natural-looking.

How do I know if I'm suitable for this treatment?

Tear-through fillers may be suitable if you notice hollows or shadows under the eyes that make you look tired, even when you feel well-rested. Ideal candidates are people with mild to moderate volume loss in this area, without excessive puffiness or loose skin. If you have more complex concerns, such as significant under-eye bags, surgical options may be more appropriate. At your consultation, we’ll assess your suitability and explain your options.

How long does the procedure take, and what is recovery like?

The treatment usually takes around 30–45 minutes, including preparation. Topical numbing is applied to improve comfort. You may notice slight swelling, redness, or bruising afterwards, but these usually resolve within a few days. Most clients return to normal daily activities quickly, though we recommend allowing a couple of days before major events. Aftercare advice is provided so you can maximise your results while minimising risks.

When will I see results, and how long will they last?

Some changes are visible immediately, but the full effect develops over the next two to four weeks as the product settles and initial swelling resolves. Longevity depends on your skin type, metabolism, and lifestyle, but results often last between nine and eighteen months. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain a refreshed look over time. Your clinician will guide you on the most appropriate maintenance schedule for you.

What are the risks of tear-through fillers?

All medical procedures carry risks. Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Rare complications, such as vascular occlusion or the Tyndall effect (a bluish tint), will be discussed in detail at your consultation. Choosing experienced practitioners reduces risks and ensures your safety is prioritised. At Equinox, treatments are performed by qualified clinicians registered with AHPRA and supported by over 15 years of professional experience.

Do tear-through fillers hurt?

Most clients report only mild discomfort. A numbing agent is applied before treatment, and many products used contain a small amount of anaesthetic for added comfort. You may feel some pressure or a brief stinging sensation, but this usually passes quickly. Our clinicians take care to make the experience as comfortable as possible, and we encourage you to let us know if you feel any discomfort during the procedure.

Can tear-through fillers be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Tear-through fillers are often complemented by treatments that improve skin quality or lift surrounding areas. For example, PDO threads or cheek volumising treatments can provide structural support, while mesotherapy or skin boosters help with hydration and texture. During your consultation, we’ll design a personalised plan that considers your overall goals and how to combine treatments safely and effectively for the best result.

Why don't clinics advertise brand names or before-and-after photos?

Under TGA and AHPRA regulations, clinics in Australia are not permitted to promote prescription-only products by brand name, share testimonials, or use before-and-after imagery for cosmetic medical treatments. These rules are in place to protect clients and prevent unrealistic expectations. At Equinox, we comply with these standards by focusing on consultations, where you’ll receive transparent advice and tailored recommendations for your individual needs.

Important Information About Regulations

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) regulate how cosmetic medical treatments may be advertised. For prescription treatments such as anti-wrinkle and lip hydration procedures, clinics cannot:

Display before-and-after images
Share testimonials or social media tags
Mention brand names in advertising
Exaggerate results or create unrealistic expectations
Offer discounts that encourage unnecessary treatment

At Equinox, we follow these requirements strictly, focusing on safe consultations and personalised guidance.
