Descrizione

The tear trough or lacrimal sulcus is an area present in everyone. It’s not an area in itself pathological. It is simply an area that can be more or less underlined, but which is normal to have. In some cases, when this area around the eye becomes “dark”, a pathological picture is outlined and no longer physiological commonly referred to as “dark circles”.

Correction of the lacrimal sulcus is the ideal treatment for those who want to eliminate dark circles and improve the lower eyelid bags. It can give a fresher and younger look without surgery. The latest generation fillers allow you to treat very delicate and anatomically complicated areas of the face such as dark circles.

Both simple or juvenile dark circles that are close to the root of the nose and extended dark circles that reach up to the cheekbone can be treated. The injection techniques are different and depend on the blemish to be treated.

The treatment is called tear trough filler and is recommended in case of a lack of periocular filling. Today it is possible to intervene in a simple way and without consequences thanks to an innovative injection procedure. This technique is carried out using a very thin and high quality filler which serves to plump and revitalize the lacrimal sulcus. The lacrimal sulcus is one of the areas of the face for which correction is most requested due to the “tired” appearance of the look that it causes when it deepens during skin aging.

Indicazioni

The eye contour area is characterized by very thin skin and rich in capillaries so the filler to be used in this area must be:

very light (with very light cross-linking)
positioned at the correct depth and in any case not superficially
well dosed

Given that we are in the presence of extremely thin skin, if an excessive amount of product is infiltrated or placed too superficially or the wrong type of hyaluronic acid is chosen, the product could:

make the eye swollen,
be visible under the skin,
cause a purplish-blue shade (Tyndall effect).

Utilizzo

The best product for the correction of the lacrimal sulcus is certainly the filler, in particular a semi cross-linked filler with a biostructuring complex that also acts as a biorevitalizer. Studies have shown that there may also be underlying causes such as smoking, poor hydration (not drinking enough water) and lack of sleep. Such a lifestyle can cause skin laxity and premature aging. The skin around the eye is delicate and vulnerable to sunlight, dark circles can form in both men and women. The eye contour filler represents one of the possible solutions and is undoubtedly the ideal treatment for those who want to eliminate dark circles and improve the lower eyelid bags, in order to obtain a younger look without resorting to more aggressive methods such as surgery.

There is an injectable product designed to intervene against the imperfections of the lacrimal sulcus; it is hyaluronic acid enriched with a natural complex, with a dermo-restructuring function, based on amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamin B6 and a small amount of a local anesthetic that ensures optimal comfort during the injection session.

Durata

The treatment is performed in an outpatient clinic with a maximum duration of half an hour. After the procedure, you may experience some initial swelling as the area is particularly delicate, but it will disappear in a couple of days.

Risultati

The results are immediately visible after the treatment and have an average duration of 9-12 months. The possibility of using hyaluronic acid-based fillers allows you to improve the appearance of bags and dark circles by reducing them. The improvement of materials and injection techniques, in addition to the possibility of combining them, allow to obtain soft and very natural results, even in the most difficult area to treat, such as in the lacrimal sulcus. , reduce the shadow area that accentuates dark circles and smooth out skin wrinkles. The treatment is carried out in an outpatient clinic and lasts no longer than half an hour. After the procedure you may experience minimal swelling, which will disappear in a couple of days.

This type of filler has many advantages, for example it doesn’t cause discomfort for the patient, it reduces pain and the appearance of hematomas, since the hyaluronic acid is injected more precisely through the mini cannula needle. Moreover, one session is usually sufficient, except for some cases in which a second session may be necessary after 1-2 months. The final effect is the elimination of dark circles and the improvement (masking) of the lower eyelid bags.

Costi

The average cost of a session of Tear Trough Filler is € 300, but it could vary considerably according to the amount of absorbable material to be used for the intervention as well as in consideration of the type of dark circles to be treated, their depth and pigmentation.
