When it comes to skincare and beauty treatments, one area that often receives special attention is the delicate skin under the eyes. The tear trough, a depression that runs from the inner corner of the eye to the upper cheek, can be a troublesome area for many people. One popular treatment gaining attention is tear trough mesotherapy.
What is Tear Trough Mesotherapy?
Tear trough mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of vitamins, peptides, minerals, hyaluronic acid, and other active ingredients directly into the tear trough area. The purpose of tear trough mesotherapy is to hydrate, nourish, and rejuvenate the skin under the eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, and hollows.
The Benefits of Mesotherapy for Under Eyes
Hydration and Nourishment
The tear trough area is prone to dryness and dehydration, which can highlight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Mesotherapy injections deliver a blend of nutrients and hydration directly to the targeted area, helping to restore moisture and skin rejuvenation.
Dark Circle Reduction
Tired-looking eyes, known as dark circles, can be caused by various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and ageing. Tear trough mesotherapy aims to improve the appearance of dark circles by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving blood circulation, and reducing pigmentation, resulting in a brighter and more youthful look.
Non-surgical and Minimally Invasive
Compared to other surgical techniques, such as tear trough fillers or blepharoplasty, tear trough mesotherapy is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure. This means minimal downtime, reduced risks, and a quicker recovery period for those seeking to address their under-eye concerns.
Customisable Treatment
Tear trough mesotherapy allows for a personalised approach to address individual concerns. The combination of active ingredients can be tailored to target specific issues, such as hydration, pigmentation, or hollowing, providing a customised solution for each patient.
The Side Affects
Tear trough mesotherapy, like any cosmetic procedure, may have potential side effects. Common side effects include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Minor discomfort
These effects are generally mild and subside within a few days. However, in rare cases, more severe reactions such as infection, allergic reactions, or granuloma formation may occur.
It is important to choose a skilled and experienced practitioner such as our team at Tailored Aesthetics who follow proper hygiene and safety protocols to minimise the risk of complications.
Post Treatment Advice
After undergoing tear trough mesotherapy, it is essential to follow our post-treatment advice at Tailored Aesthetics to optimise the results and ensure proper healing.
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent potential irritation or infection.
- Avoid applying makeup or other skincare products to the treated area on the day of the procedure to allow the skin to heal undisturbed.
- Apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth gently to the treated area for short periods to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- To avoid sun damage, protect the treated area from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen with a high SPF and using sunglasses.
- Stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water daily.
The Final Say
Tear trough mesotherapy can be a valuable option for those looking to improve the appearance of their under-eye area. With its ability to hydrate, nourish, and revitalise the skin, this minimally invasive procedure offers numerous benefits.
However, it is essential to consult with a qualified professional such as our team at Tailored Aesthetics to determine if tear trough mesotherapy is the right treatment for your specific concerns.
