Tired eyes can make you look exhausted even when you feel fine. The delicate under-eye area is one of the first places to show fatigue, hollowness and fine lines. At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem, a doctor-led aesthetic clinic on Pall Mall in Central London, we specialise in tear trough rejuvenation — a treatment designed to refresh your eyes and restore a well-rested appearance without changing your natural expression.
Why the Under-Eye Area Ages First
The skin under the eyes is thinner than anywhere else on the face. As collagen and fat decrease over time, the tear trough (the hollow between the lower eyelid and upper cheek) becomes more noticeable. This can create:
- Dark shadows or a “tired” look
- Hollow or sunken under-eyes
- Fine lines and crepey texture
- Volume loss beneath the lower lid
These changes often make people appear older or more fatigued than they are.
What Is Tear Trough Rejuvenation?
Tear trough rejuvenation is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that restores smoothness, brightness and support beneath the eyes. The procedure is performed personally by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu (BDS, MSc Aesthetic Medicine), who uses his expert understanding of facial anatomy to treat the delicate under-eye area safely and precisely.
Depending on your needs, Dr Goziem may use:
- Polynucleotides to repair and hydrate the skin from within
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for natural regeneration using your own platelets
- Dermal fillers for gentle volume restoration
- Exosomes to boost cellular repair and reduce inflammation
Every treatment plan is tailored to your skin quality, pigmentation and anatomy to achieve a soft, rested look without overfilling.
How the Treatment Works
1. Consultation
Dr Goziem begins with a full facial assessment to determine whether you are suitable for tear trough treatment and which method will work best for your skin.
2. Preparation
The skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied to ensure comfort.
3. Treatment
Using micro-cannulas or precision injections, the selected product is placed just beneath the skin to smooth and refresh the area. The procedure takes around 30 minutes.
4. Aftercare
Results are visible immediately for filler-based treatments and continue to improve over several weeks for regenerative options such as Polynucleotides or PRP.
