    Dr Harry is absolutely amazing, I can’t recommend him enough. I had my usual skin maintenance treatments yesterday, and for the first time I decided to try a lip booster. Harry was so informative, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout, and he made me feel completely at ease. I was originally offered standard lip filler, but as I’m in my 60s I wanted something more subtle and natural-looking, the lip booster felt like the perfect choice. I left the clinic with only a little swelling (nothing too bad at all) and my lips already look healthier, more youthful, and beautifully natural. I’m genuinely thrilled with the result and can’t thank him enough. Five-star-plus treatment every time. His prices are very reasonable, and his manner with patients is kind, professional, and wonderful. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment, even if I have to wait a few months because the results last so well. Thank you Dr. Harry ❤️

    Dr. Harry is incredibly knowledgeable and really takes his time to talk you through everything, answer any questions, and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the whole appointment. I never felt rushed, and he explained the treatment and expected results clearly, which made me feel really confident in the process. I’m so pleased with my results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

    Great experience for an ultrasound-guided filler dissolution treatment. Dr Harry was very patient, caring and professional. I really appreciated the thorough consultation and felt well looked after throughout the treatment. Very happy with the results!

    I visited Dr Harry after having my lips done by a few, other practitioners and my experience was positively incomparable. Harry was extremely thorough with his questioning, support and actual practice, I felt reassured and at ease, alike did my Mum, at the hands of Harry. I had 0.6ml of lip filler and was extremely impressed that he reevaluated my lips afterwards, adding in the remaining filler into specific areas. I did not have 1 single bruise, despite coming up black and blue in the past, and my lips are the most symmetrical they have ever looked. 1 million percent the best investment I have made to my face and I would never recommend going to anybody else! I visited the Chiswick clinic and it was beautiful🫶🏼 thank you Harry

    I went to Dr Harry Clinic after both a recommendation and doing a lot of research, as this was my first anti-wrinkle injection treatment and choosing someone I truly trusted was really important to me. From the moment I arrived, Dr. Harry immediately made me feel at ease. He was so lovely, professional, and took the time to explain everything in detail. Most importantly, he really listened to what I wanted - especially my preference for a very natural look. Two weeks later, I had my complimentary follow-up appointment and I was already so happy with the results. At the follow-up, Harry was an absolute perfectionist, carefully assessing everything to ensure it was as balanced and natural as possible, with a small top-up where needed. Overall, my experience exceeded all expectations. If it’s your first time having treatment, or you’re looking for a new injector, I genuinely cannot recommend Dr Harry Clinic enough. One of the best decisions I’ve made.

4 concerns

01 / 4

Eyes & Tear Trough · concern 01

Crow's feet

Crow's feet, shown on the face
Crow's feet, shown on the face
What it is
Crow's feet, also known as lateral canthal lines, are the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes and are often among the first signs of ageing to appear.
Why it happens
They develop primarily through repeated contractions of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which surrounds the eye and is responsible for blinking, squinting and smiling.
02 / 4

Eyes & Tear Trough · concern 02

Tear trough hollowing

Tear trough hollowing, shown on the face
Tear trough hollowing, shown on the face
What it is
The tear trough, beneath the lower eyelid, is one of the most delicate and challenging areas to treat in aesthetic medicine, and hollowing here creates a tired or shadowed appearance.
Why it happens
Tear trough concerns develop through volume loss under the eye, changes in skin quality, fat pad displacement and the natural ageing process.
Treated with
Tear trough filler
03 / 4

Eyes & Tear Trough · concern 03

Under eye skin quality

Under eye skin quality, shown on the face
Under eye skin quality, shown on the face
What it is
Thin, fragile under eye skin that looks dull or crepey rather than hollow, where adding volume is not the answer.
Why it happens
Polynucleotides act at a cellular level, stimulating fibroblast activity, encouraging new collagen and improving blood flow, which is why this area responds to a regenerative approach rather than a filler.
Treated with
Polynucleotides
04 / 4

Eyes & Tear Trough · concern 04

Hooded upper eyelids

Hooded upper eyelids, shown on the face
Hooded upper eyelids, shown on the face
What it is
Upper eyelid skin that rests low over the lash line, making the eye look smaller and the whole face look tired.
Why it happens
A well placed brow lift can open the eye area and reduce heaviness, which is particularly useful for patients with early signs of eyelid hooding.

01Available Treatments

  • Anti-Wrinkle Injections, Smooth expression lines like crow’s feet while preserving natural movement.

  • Dermal Fillers, Restore volume to tear troughs and under-eye hollowing using low-density HA fillers.

  • Skin Boosters, Improve fine lines, crepey texture, and hydration without adding volume.

  • Brow Lift (Toxin-Based), Subtly lift the outer brow and refresh the upper lid with strategic placement.

Each treatment may be used alone or in combination depending on the aesthetic needs and structural features of the eye area.

Combination Protocols for Eye Rejuvenation

In many cases, the most natural and lasting results come from combining treatments:

  • Crow’s feet + Tear trough: Soften expression lines and restore under-eye volume.

  • Upper eyelid + Lateral brow: Support the upper eye with toxin lift and filler contour.

  • Skin boosters + toxin: Smooth fine lines and hydrate for long-term improvement.

Dr Harry’s expert planning ensures that each component works in harmony to enhance your overall eye area without changing your unique expression.

02Crow’s Feet Treatment

Crow’s feet develop from years of squinting, smiling, and blinking. These lateral lines are best treated with carefully dosed botulinum toxin, targeting the orbicularis oculi muscle without freezing expression.

The aim is to soften lines while maintaining the ability to smile naturally, no frozen look. Treatment typically lasts 3 to 4 months and gradually fades without sudden drop-off.

03Tear Trough and Under Eye Hollowing

Volume loss in the tear trough can cause a tired, sunken appearance. HA dermal fillers, when placed correctly, blend the lower lid with the midface and soften the under-eye transition.

A gentle, precise technique using soft, cohesive fillers helps avoid puffiness or shadowing. This treatment can last 9 to 12 months and offers immediate but natural improvements.

04Dark Circles and Pigmentation

Dark circles may result from vascular visibility, pigmentation, or hollowing. Treatment selection depends on the root cause and may involve:

  • Filler for volume loss

  • Skin boosters to improve texture

  • Brightening skincare or peels if pigmentation is present

The approach is always customised based on skin type, tone, and severity of the concern.

05Upper Eyelid Support & Non-Surgical Brow Lift

Heaviness of the upper eyelid often results from downward-pulling muscles or volume depletion in the brow area.

Strategic use of botulinum toxin can gently lift the lateral brow, enhancing the openness of the eye without surgery. This is often complemented with brow-area fillers or skin tightening protocols for complete support.

06Periorbital Skin Quality & Skin Boosters

Skin boosters like Redensity 1 or polynucleotides can significantly improve the appearance of fine lines, dehydration, and crepey texture around the eyes.

These treatments stimulate collagen and elastin while deeply hydrating the skin, perfect for patients not ready for volume or those focused on skin quality.

Understanding Eye Area Ageing

The eye area is often the first region to show signs of ageing due to the delicate nature of periorbital skin and the constant movement of facial expressions. Understanding the complex anatomy and ageing patterns of this sensitive area is essential for safe and effective treatment.

The periorbital region contains some of the thinnest skin on the face and is subject to constant movement from blinking, squinting, and facial expressions. This combination of delicate anatomy and repetitive motion makes the eye area particularly susceptible to premature ageing.

Dr Harry’s expertise in eye area treatments comes from his comprehensive understanding of periorbital anatomy and his experience as a trainer in aesthetic medicine. This knowledge ensures that treatments are performed safely whilst achieving beautiful, natural-looking results.

eye Area Treatments insights

01Comprehensive Eye Assessment

Every treatment plan begins with a detailed evaluation of the periorbital area, including muscle movement, skin thickness, fat pads, and tear trough structure. This ensures that interventions are tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

By considering all underlying ageing factors, from volume loss to skin quality, Dr Harry provides an integrated treatment strategy designed to preserve eye shape, support tissue integrity, and achieve subtle, elegant results.

Due to its proximity to key vascular and nerve structures, the eye area requires careful, precise treatment. Techniques must be adapted to ensure minimal trauma and reduced risk of side effects.

All treatments are performed using advanced protocols, sterile microcannulas or fine needles, and product selection tailored specifically for the periorbital region.

02Comprehensive treatment of upper and lower eye ageing using advanced injectables

The eye area is uniquely delicate and prone to early ageing. Treatments target hollows, fine lines, crow’s feet, and upper eyelid heaviness through precise injectable solutions.

03Anatomical mapping ensures natural correction and safety

Dr Harry uses his deep understanding of periorbital anatomy to safely treat under-eye areas and muscle dynamics around the eye while preserving natural expressions and eye shape.

04Tailored solutions for concerns like tear troughs, crow’s feet, dark circles, and hooding

Depending on your concern, treatments may involve dermal fillers, anti wrinkle injections, skin boosters or regenerative options, all selected to suit your unique structure.

05Minimally invasive options with long-term skin improvement

Eye rejuvenation treatments offer natural-looking, subtle enhancement without surgery or significant downtime, while supporting long-term skin health and youthful appearance.

Common questions

Eye Area Rejuvenation FAQs

01What causes under-eye hollowing or dark circles?

Tear trough hollowing can result from age-related volume loss, genetics, or lifestyle factors. Dark circles may also be caused by pigmentation or thin skin showing underlying vessels. A full assessment determines the most effective treatment.

02How long do results last under the eyes?

Tear trough fillers typically last 9 to 18 months depending on the product used and individual factors. Skin boosters for the eye area may be repeated every 4 to 6 months to maintain hydration and skin quality.

03Can I combine crow’s feet treatment with tear trough fillers?

Absolutely. In fact, combination treatments often yield the best results by addressing both muscle movement and volume loss around the eyes.

04Will the treatment make me look different or unnatural?

Not at all. Dr Harry’s approach is conservative and anatomical, aiming for natural rejuvenation that enhances your own features without altering your identity.

05Is there downtime after eye area treatments?

Most treatments have little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or bruising, particularly with fillers, but this is usually minimal and temporary.

06How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Dr Harry will carry out a detailed periorbital assessment during your consultation and recommend a tailored plan based on your anatomy, concerns, and goals.
