Tear Trough Rejuvenation
This non-surgical treatment is available for patients who have lower eyelid dark circles, which are also referred to as tear troughs. Surgical treatments have previously been the only effective way of combating tear troughs, however the use of Restylane injections now offers a non-surgical treatment option.
The treatment is undertaken as an outpatient procedure, offering immediate cosmetic results with a reduced risk of the complications associated with surgery and a very short recovery period.
Occasional contour irregularities can occur following injection and these are managed with firm massage. If a patient is dissatisfied with the result, the Restylane can be dissolved with the use of a small injection. Bruising and mild swelling may occur but these usually resolve within a week and any discomfort associated with the treatment is usually mild.
The effects of the treatment lasts approximately 6-12 months before repeat injections are required.
