Dr Rami Haidar explains the difference between tear trough filler and Polynucleotides and how to rejuvenate tired eyes naturally at Excellence Medical Boutique Dubai.
At Excellence Medical Boutique in Dubai, many patients ask about the difference between Tear Trough filler and Polynucleotides, and which one offers the most natural rejuvenation for the delicate under eye area.
The truth is, both treatments can achieve remarkable improvements, but they work in completely different ways. Understanding what each treatment does and when to use it, is the key to restoring a refreshed, well-rested look that still feels like you.

The under eye area is one of the most delicate parts of the face, where even small changes in volume or hydration can make a big visual difference. It is also an area where tiredness, fine lines, and shadowing often appear first.
Dr Rami Haidar explains that there is no single best treatment instead, the right approach depends on the cause of the concern. Some patients need structure and support, while others need cellular repair and hydration.
Tear Trough Filler
Tear trough filler uses a soft hyaluronic acid gel to restore gentle volume beneath the eyes. It smooths the hollow that creates shadows and improves light reflection, helping the area appear brighter and more rested.
When performed with precision, filler can instantly correct a sunken appearance without altering the natural shape of the face.
Polynucleotides (Salmon DNA)
Polynucleotides are regenerative molecules that stimulate collagen and elastin production while improving skin texture and hydration.
Rather than filling space, they repair the quality of the skin itself, making it smoother, stronger, and more resilient.
This treatment is especially effective when the issue is thin or crepey skin, rather than volume loss.
Both treatments can complement each other beautifully. Dr Rami often uses a layered approach, fillers to rebuild gentle support, and Polynucleotides to revitalise the skin above it. The result is smoother, brighter under eyes that look naturally refreshed, not overcorrected.
The under eye area is unique. It is made up of thin skin, fine blood vessels, and very little underlying fat, which is why even minor changes can make a visible difference. This is also what makes it one of the most complex areas to treat.
At Excellence Medical Boutique, Dr Rami Haidar takes a tailored approach to every patient. For some, tear trough filler provides the gentle support that restores lost volume and reduces shadows. For others, Polynucleotides deliver exactly what the skin needs, hydration, repair, and improved elasticity, without adding any additional volume.
When combined, these two treatments work in harmony. Filler restores structure beneath the surface, while Polynucleotides regenerate the skin above it, improving tone, texture, and brightness. Together they rejuvenate the entire area in a way that looks seamless and feels natural.
However, the right treatment is always based on what your skin truly needs. If you already have sufficient volume but lack smoothness or firmness, Polynucleotides alone may be the perfect choice. If hollowness is the main concern, a small amount of filler may be enough to restore balance.
Dr Rami’s philosophy is simply do what is necessary, never more. Each plan is guided by anatomy, precision, and the art of subtle enhancement.
The results of both tear trough filler and Polynucleotide treatments are subtle, refined, and designed to restore freshness without visible signs of work.
Tear Trough Filler
Patients typically notice improvement immediately after treatment. The under eye area appears smoother and more lifted, with reduced hollowness and shadowing.
Any minor swelling settles within a few days as the filler integrates naturally with the surrounding tissue, leaving a soft, bright result that lasts between 9 to 12 months on average.
Polynucleotides (Salmon DNA)
Results develop gradually, as the skin regenerates collagen and elastin. Most patients begin to notice a difference after two to three weeks, with full improvement visible after a course of two to four sessions.
The skin becomes stronger, more hydrated, and visibly healthier. Results can last 6 to 12 months, with maintenance sessions recommended for long-term glow and elasticity.
Combination Approach
When both treatments are used together, results evolve layer by layer. Filler restores gentle structure, while Polynucleotides enhance the skin’s quality and brightness above it.
This combination gives the most complete form of rejuvenation — one that preserves expression and movement, while making the eyes appear naturally awake and refreshed.
Both treatments are doctor-led, using an anatomy-guided approach to ensure safety, precision, and balance.
The under eye area requires one of the most precise techniques in aesthetic medicine. Because the skin here is thin and close to important blood vessels, every injection must be performed with advanced anatomical understanding.
At Excellence Medical Boutique, treatments are personally carried out by Dr Rami Haidar, ensuring the highest level of precision and safety. The clinic follows an anatomy-first approach, using ultra-fine cannulas or micro-needles to place product exactly where it is needed while avoiding unnecessary trauma.
Swelling or mild bruising is uncommon and, when it occurs, usually resolves within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid intense heat, heavy exercise, or pressure around the area for 24 hours.
Every treatment plan is built around trust, transparency, and comfort. Dr Rami’s philosophy is that natural beauty should be enhanced safely, never rushed.
The cost of treatments at Excellence Medical Boutique depends on the areas treated, the number of sessions and the product used. After your consultation, you will have a clear plan and pricing. Dr Rami’s focus is always on trust, transparency and gradual transformation, never rushed or overdone.

Before and after results are an important way for patients to understand what can realistically be achieved with tear trough filler and Polynucleotide treatments.
At Excellence Medical Boutique, before and after images are used as part of your consultation to illustrate how these treatments can refresh the under eye area while maintaining your natural expression and individuality.
With tear trough filler, patients often see immediate softening of hollows and shadows, resulting in a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
With Polynucleotides, changes appear more gradually as the skin strengthens and hydrates over time, improving brightness, texture, and fine lines.
Every result is unique because each patient’s anatomy, skin quality, and goals are different. What remains consistent is the approach — subtle, precise, and always focused on harmony and balance rather than dramatic change.
I had such an exceptional experience with Dr.Rami Haidar. The results are beyond my expectations—natural, subtle, and refreshing. I’ve had so many compliments on how glowing and youthful my skin looks, without anyone guessing I had a treatment done. Dr.Rami truly has an eye for detail and delivers results that enhance your features beautifully.
I highly recommend Dr.Rami to anyone considering aesthetic treatments. Their expertise, care, and warm approach make all the difference. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my face!
Tear trough filler restores volume under the eyes using a soft hyaluronic acid gel, while Polynucleotides focus on improving skin quality, hydration, and elasticity. Filler targets hollowing and shadowing, whereas Polynucleotides rejuvenate thin, tired skin. In some cases, both treatments are combined to achieve a balanced, refreshed result.
Tear trough fillers typically last between 9 and 12 months, depending on the product used, individual metabolism, and aftercare. Dr Rami Haidar uses advanced placement techniques to ensure the filler integrates smoothly into the tissue, giving a natural, long-lasting result that brightens and supports the under eye area without puffiness.
Yes, both treatments are considered very safe when performed by a qualified and experienced doctor. At Excellence Medical Boutique, every procedure is anatomy-guided to minimise risk. Dr Rami uses soft cannulas or fine needles to reduce bruising and swelling. All treatments include a full consultation and post-care guidance.
Yes, this is a popular approach at Excellence Medical Boutique. Fillers restore gentle structure beneath the surface, while Polynucleotides repair the skin above it. The combination creates a smoother, brighter, and more youthful look that feels natural and balanced. Whether one or both are suitable depends on your skin’s individual needs.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Minor swelling or redness may appear for 24 to 48 hours but resolves quickly. To support optimal healing, avoid heavy exercise, heat, and makeup for the first day, and apply gentle cold compresses if needed.
