Tear trough injection with hyaluronic acid (Tear Trough)

1. Initial Consultation & Preparation
In a confidential consultation, your wishes, any pre-existing conditions, and medical risks will be discussed. Before the actual hyaluronic acid injection, the skin will be thoroughly cleansed, freed of makeup, and locally anesthetized upon request.

2. Injection:
The hyaluronic acid is injected in microdoses below the tear trough – either in a pinpoint or linear pattern depending on the tissue contour. The aim is to visually smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek and gently compensate for volume loss.

3. Aftercare
After the treatment, the area should be cooled and protected from exercise, heat, or mechanical pressure for approximately 48 hours. Swelling or minor bruising is possible but usually subsides very quickly after the treatment. You will receive personalized aftercare recommendations and can contact our practice team at any time if you have any questions.

The longevity of the results varies from person to person – depending on metabolism, skin type, facial expressions, and lifestyle. Generally, the results of tear trough treatment are visible for approximately 6 to 12 months. Because the procedure is performed very gently around the eyes, a phased approach is often recommended; the result can then be optimized in a follow-up session if needed.

Despite its high tolerability and gentle technique, this treatment is not without risks. Possible side effects include:

• slight swelling or redness,
• small hematomas (bruises),
• Rarely: temporary pressure sensation or asymmetries.

During the consultation, Dr. Oldag will fully inform you about possible complications, contraindications, and alternatives. The safety of his patients is his top priority – accordingly, the treatment is prepared and carried out with meticulous care.

Your personal radiance is at the heart of hyaluronic acid treatment – ​​not a generic beauty ideal. The private practice Schoenheits-Hand-Werk follows a clear principle: naturalness before volume. And this applies especially to the delicate eye area.

Therefore, every treatment is based on an individual, finely tuned concept – with maximum precision and the aim of maintaining the natural balance.

Depending on the initial situation, treatment of the tear trough can be usefully supplemented – e.g. by:

• a gentle cheek contouring,
• Skin booster to improve skin texture,
• Additional advice on skincare and prevention.

Dr. Oldag addresses possible combinations individually in the conversation – always with a view to the overall result.

Tear trough treatment is not a one-time procedure, but can be part of a long-term care regimen. Dr. Oldag recommends evaluating the results together at regular intervals. In some cases, a touch-up after about a year is sufficient; in other cases, a modified approach may be advisable, especially if the skin texture or volume continues to change. The goal always remains to enhance the natural radiance and not to alter it.

Even if a repeat treatment is desired, it never happens automatically. Dr. Oldag will decide together with you whether and when another appointment would be advisable – always based on the current findings and your individual wishes.
