Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Thread Undereye Tear Trough.

Thread Undereye Tear Trough uses dissolvable PDO threads placed strategically beneath the skin to lift and smooth hollows. Threads provide immediate mechanical support and trigger collagen formation, reducing dark circles and improving under-eye contour with minimal invasiveness and natural-looking results.

Results typically last 12–18 months depending on age and skin condition. Threads dissolve over time but stimulate collagen, so contour and firmness persist. Periodic touch-ups maintain optimal appearance and your provider will recommend a personalized maintenance schedule.

Discomfort is minimal for most clients. Topical numbing and local anesthesia are used to ensure comfort during placement. Some brief pressure or pulling sensations can occur, but post-procedure tenderness is typically mild and resolves within several days.

Downtime is minimal. Expect mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for several days to two weeks. Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and heavy eye makeup initially. Most clients return to normal activities within 48–72 hours while subtle healing continues beneath the skin.

Good candidates are adults with tear trough hollows, mild to moderate under-eye volume loss, or early skin laxity seeking non-surgical improvement. Not ideal for severe excess skin or advanced fat prolapse; a consult will determine suitability and tailored approach.

Risks are low but can include temporary bruising, swelling, infection, thread visibility, or asymmetry. Rare complications like nodules or migration may occur. Choosing an experienced provider and following aftercare reduces risk; contact the clinic promptly for any concerns.
