Tear trough correction is the ideal treatment for those who want to eliminate dark circles and improve lower eyelid puffiness, achieving a fresher, more youthful look without resorting to surgery. There is an injectable product specifically designed to address these imperfections: it is hyaluronic acid enriched with a natural, dermo-restructuring complex of amino acids, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamin B6, along with a small amount of lidocaine, a local anesthetic that ensures optimal comfort during the injection session. Results are immediately visible after treatment and have an estimated average duration of 9-12 months. Currently, the use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are completely compatible with the body and long-lasting, allows for improving the appearance of bags, for example by filling the lower margin and thus giving the appearance of a smaller bag. Improved materials and injection techniques, along with the ability to combine them, allow for smooth, highly natural-looking results, even in the most difficult-to-treat areas: the tear trough and the palpebral fold. The aging process is most evident in this area because it is the area of the body where the skin is thinnest and where several factors (fat atrophy, thinning and loss of skin elasticity, bone resorption) are concentrated, contributing to the skeletal effect that ages the entire face.
To restore lost volume and rejuvenate the entire eye area, the treatment of choice is enriched hyaluronic acid, injected in small drops deep into the skin (submuscularly) through a microcannula, using the linear retrograde technique. Small touches are applied, just enough to plump up the depressions, reduce the shadows that accentuate dark circles, and smooth out wrinkles. The treatment is performed in an outpatient setting and lasts no more than half an hour. After the treatment, you may experience some initial swelling, which will subside within a couple of days, given the very delicate area. It's important to have a follow-up visit after about a month to ensure the treatment's success and evaluate any additional minor touch-ups. Another useful product is botulinum toxin, which can reduce crow's feet and lift the eyebrows, significantly improving the appearance of the upper eyelid. With botulinum toxin, the results last for 5-6 months and are easily repeatable.
