The under eye is one of the most delicate and unforgiving areas to treat, which is reflected in both the price and in who you should let near it. London prices sit above the national average, and a Harley Street address commands more again. Here is an honest view of the local ranges, what moves them, and why this is no place to chase a bargain. All figures are indicative and vary by clinic and practitioner.
A review at two to three weeks is good practice and may carry a small top up fee. Premium hyaluronic acid brands and an experienced injector both sit at the upper end. Always confirm the fee and what it includes with the clinic.
The tear trough demands an experienced doctor or nurse prescriber who knows the anatomy intimately. That expertise is the single most valuable thing your fee buys.
A light, low spreading filler designed for the under eye costs more than a generic gel, and a reputable clinic uses a genuine, traceable brand.
A central London or Harley Street clinic carries higher overheads than an outer borough practice, and that flows into the price.
A proper consultation, a cannula technique and a follow up appointment all take time, and a thorough clinic prices that in rather than rushing.
The tear trough carries real risks. The under eye has fine blood vessels and thin skin, so poorly placed filler can leave lasting puffiness, a bluish tinge known as the Tyndall effect, or in rare cases a vascular complication that threatens vision. Filler placed here can also linger far longer than elsewhere. This is precisely the area where a cut price injector is a false economy. The wiser comparison is not which clinic is cheapest, but which practitioner has the training to assess whether you are even a good candidate, the skill to place product safely, and the dissolving agent hyaluronidase on hand if something goes wrong. Pay for anatomy and judgement, not for a deal.
