Tear Trough Treatment in Guernsey

The treatment for tear troughs must be individualised because the structure is different in every patient.

It requires really examining the patient’s anatomy and the degree of the tear trough deformity. If the patient’s tear troughs are subtle, with just a small contour defect between the eyelid and the cheek, surgery may not produce the best results.

Some patients simply don’t want to have surgery yet and in these instances, skilled injections of hyaluronic acid along the infraorbital rim, to disguise the appearance of a tear trough defect or prolapsed fat are the best option. This procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes and is done using a cannula technique, which is extremely safe, painless and avoids complications of swelling and bruising.

Various factors contribute to Tear trough formation and your practitioner may suggest a treatment plan that includes strengthening the upper cheek to support the area as well as treating the Tear Trough itself for the best cosmetic result. These various areas will be treated simultaneously with appropriate dermal fillers using the canula technique for a soft and natural correction. The strength of the skin in this area is another factor to consider and you may be recommended a treatment to improve the quality of the skin ranging from a topical treatment to radio frequency skin tightening.

To achieve the best results, it is important to treat the Tear trough area with multiple modalities. Each modality treats a specific area—we use botulinum toxin to immobilise the muscles causing the wrinkles, fillers to fill in volume deficits, and lasers to improve skin texture.
