Our extensive experience with treating under-eye concerns
Tear trough hollowing often leads to a premature appearance of ageing due to discolouration under the eyes. Genetics, health conditions, or stress, can all contribute to these dark circles, and finding the right approach to safely restore volume to the area can be difficult. Over time, you may find that your previous skincare and makeup techniques become less effective, with surgical options being costly and daunting.
Sharing his techniques and results with other doctors and nurses, Dr. Scott Allison attends domestic and international conferences, passionate about achieving exceptional results. Our team at Ascension are trained by Dr. Allison, using effective, patient-tailored techniques to maintain a high level of care.
“Dark circles and tear troughs are an incredibly complex area to treat and should only be done by a qualified cosmetic physician who understands the anatomy of this area and can tailor the treatment to the individual. When performed properly, patients appear less tired, but when performed incorrectly, it can have unsatisfactory results. My approach is to create a refreshed appearance that looks natural, both during rest and when smiling.” – Dr. Scott Allison.

Areas of concern /
Multiple factors can contribute to the development of sunken eyes, and it is crucial for your practitioner to thoroughly evaluate the underlying cause of the hollowing and dark circles to determine the most suitable treatment for you. During your consultation, we work with you to understand your unique aesthetic needs and goals. A personalised treatment plan will be developed to address dark circles, and tear trough concerns.
Bone Support
Lower eye sockets can be improved to balance alignment for the eye. This is achieved by focusing along the lower orbit in columns.
Under-Eye Volume
By looking at volume in the deep fat pads under the eye muscles, we can counteract any hollowing that has occurred through ageing. Our approach considers the deeper skin layers to avoid a puffy under-eye result.
Tear Troughs
Addressing the bare bone area located at the innermost part of the eye allows us to lessen the presence of dark circles and shadows. This is always considered with other anatomical factors to ensure our approach is tailored to your needs.
Blending
To achieve a softer look around the eye, the boundary between the eyelid area and the cheek, also known as the lid-cheek junction, can be blended. This process involves techniques that result in a smoother transition between these two areas.

At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide an ideal treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Your consultation at our Brisbane clinic
During your initial consultation, various aspects will be discussed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and your specific needs. The consultation allows us to discuss expectations openly and create a treatment plan you can approve.
Firstly, your cosmetic concerns and treatment goals will be discussed. We will listen attentively to gain insight into what you hope to achieve through treating your under-eye concerns. This discussion allows us to explain what can be realistically achieved.
Next, we will thoroughly examine your facial features, asking about the areas of your face where you have concerns regarding darkness and hollowing. We will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, taking note of bone structure, fat pads and skin laxity. This assessment helps us to determine the appropriate treatment plan required. We may also inquire about any allergies or previous cosmetic treatments. This information is crucial for determining your eligibility for the procedure.
The consultation will also involve a discussion about the procedure itself, including the recommended treatments, the expected duration of the results, and any potential risks or side effects. We can explain the technique involved, ensuring you understand the process and know what to expect during and after the treatment.
Finally, the financial aspect will be discussed. We will provide information about the cost of the treatment, any potential additional expenses, and the expected longevity of the results. We can also discuss the option of follow-up treatments and maintenance. Your treatment costs will depend on the personalised details of your procedure, so it is best to wait until having your consultation before making calculations.
Clinical PathwaysAnd Recommendations
Recommended Treatments
At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations, where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide an ideal treatment plan tailored to your needs. You may benefit from a combination approach utilising different treatment methods and a number of sessions, which we will discuss during your consultation.
Rejuran /
Addressing skin hydration, fine lines, wrinkles, pores, and textural changes to enforce the integrity of the skin, Rejuran is a revolutionary bio-regenerative treatment that uses Polynucleotides (PN) to stimulate collagen producing cells. This approach relies on your natural potential for youthful radiance, which contributes to the minimising of dark circles and shadows.
Recovery time after Rejuran is minimal, with side-effects lasting only 1-2 days. Patients may see results soon after the treatment, but the deeper effects will occur over the following months while your skin repairs itself naturally.
CoolView Vascular Laser /
CoolView Laser treats the widest range of vascular issues, from dark circles and under eye shadows, to deeper skin conditions and pigmentation concerns. This treatment has minimal downtime and patients often return to work the following day. It is often performed in conjunction with our Healite II treatment, which soothes and accelerates healing.
