TEAR TROUGH FAQ'S

​

WHAT IS THE TEAR TROUGH?

The 'tear trough' refers to the hollow depression beneath under eye circles, under eye bags, and under eye shadows.

​

WHAT CAUSES UNDER EYE CIRCLES / UNDER EYE BAGS?

The visible under eye hollow depression (tear trough) is typically caused by loss of volume below in the eyes, in the area between the lower eyelid and the cheek. These hollow depressions are often accompanied by a darkening of the skins colour (eye circles / eye shadows).

​

Some individuals are more prone to under eye circles and under eye bags, and there can be a genetic component. Stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, and the ageing process all serve to increase the appearance of eye bags and dark circles.

​

HOW CAN MY DARK CIRCLES / UNDER EYE BAGS BE TREATED?

Under eye circles, shadows, and eye bags can all be treated with Teosyal Redensity II. This is the ONLY dermal filler in the world that is FDA approved for this delicate under eye area.

​

WHAT IS TEOSYAL REDENSITY II?

Teosyal Redensity II is a unique, 3-in-1 patented blend of hyaluronic acid plus 14 other essential nutrients naturally present in the skin.

 

ARE THE RESULTS INSTANT?

Yes.

​

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

The results lasts 12 months +

​

WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THE TREATMENT?

Your medical practitioner will make a diagnosis of the area and, if suitable, Teoysal Redensity II will be injected into the under eye area using a single, sterile syringe.

​

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Immediate results can be expected after just one session. Occasionally, a touch-up injection may be required within one month following your first treatment.

​

CAN I GO STRAIGHT BACK TO WORK AFTER MY TREATMENT?

You may experience some post-injection reactions such as minor bruising and / or swelling in the area(s) treated. These reactions do not always occur and are usually mild, short term, and correctable.

​

IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T DO AFTER HAVING TREATMENT?

Do not massage the area in the days after the treatment.

Avoid touching the area for at least one hour after treatment.

Avoid make-up in the treated area for at least one hour.

​

WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE IT?

All of our treatments are fully customised to YOU and only carried out following an in-depth discussion, so this is very unlikely! However, rest assured that all hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be safely dissolved.

 

WHAT ABOUT ANY RISKS?

Tear trough filler is very safe when licensed products are injected by experienced medical professionals. However, this is an advanced and specialist dermal filler procedure and should NEVER be administered by someone who is not medically qualified with extensive experience and training in aesthetic medicine. The main risks associated with tear trough filler are associated with the injections themselves - pinprick bleeding and pinprick redness (both of which resolve immediately) and a small risk of bruising. There is a remote risk  of vascular / arterial occlusion which is so rare that we do not have statistics. Rest assured, however, that we are trained to recognise and treat this extremely rare complication in the highly unlikely event this should occur.
