Are you exploring options for under-eye rejuvenation in London? Two leading treatments stand out: tear trough filler and polynucleotides. But which is best for you?
At Injectual, we specialise in subtle, natural under-eye transformations. Here’s a deep dive into the pros, cons, and ideal candidates for both options.
💉 What Is Tear Trough Filler?
Tear trough filler uses hyaluronic acid (HA) to instantly fill under-eye hollows, reducing shadows and the tired look. It’s quick, safe, and results are visible immediately.
Best for:
-
Deep hollows
-
Under-eye shadowing
-
Volume loss due to ageing or genetics
🧬 What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are next-gen injectables derived from salmon or trout DNA. Rather than adding volume, they regenerate and repair the skin — perfect for thin, crepey under-eye skin.
Benefits include:
-
Brightening dark circles
-
Reducing puffiness
-
Improving skin firmness and elasticity
-
Stimulating collagen and elastin
-
Hydrating and smoothing delicate skin
We often enhance results by microneedling polynucleotides into the skin, a technique unique to Injectual.
🆚 Tear Trough Filler vs. Polynucleotides: Key Differences
| Factor | Tear Trough Filler | Polynucleotides |
|---|---|---|
| Function | Adds volume | Regenerates skin |
| Results | Immediate | Gradual (2–4 weeks) |
| Target Concern | Hollowness, shadows | Dark circles, puffiness, crepey skin |
| Best For | Volume loss | Poor skin quality |
| Longevity | 6–12 months | 6–9 months |
| Downtime | Low | Low |
| Risks | Puffiness, Tyndall effect | Minimal risk |
💡 Who Should Choose What?
✅ Choose Polynucleotides if you:
-
Have dark circles, thin skin, or puffiness
-
Prefer a natural skin-regenerating approach
-
Want to improve overall skin quality before considering filler
✅ Choose Tear Trough Filler if you:
-
Have deep under-eye hollows
-
Want immediate volume correction
-
Have good skin elasticity but lost volume
