Correction of the valley of tears

The delicate skin around the eyes is an area particularly prone to aging. This is especially noticeable in the hollow under the eye, within the orbit, where the so-called valley of tears appears. It causes the effect of a tired look and a sad facial expression.

What does the treatment look like?

The procedure of filling the valley of tears with hyaluronic acid is a minimally invasive method. It begins with a thorough cleansing of the facial skin and the application of anesthetic cream to the area to be treated.

The appropriate preparation is then administered using a needle or cannula. The treatment ends with a gentle massage to evenly distribute the preparation.

How to prepare for the procedure?

The procedure does not require special preparations. Only a week before the procedure of hyaluronic acid administration should stop taking medicines that reduce blood clotting, especially aspirin. All healthy adults, regardless of sex and age, are qualified for the procedure. It is dedicated especially to those people in whom the skin under the eyes has lost firmness, the depressions have become highly visible, and there are characteristic shadows.

What to do after the procedure?

This treatment does not require convalescence. Immediately after it, you can return to daily activities, avoiding only visits to tanning beds and saunas, as well as intense exercise. The effect of the treatment is significant hydration and firming of the skin, shallowing of depressions, reduction of bruising, making it look younger and healthier. The first effects are visible immediately after the treatment, while you have to wait about two weeks for the final effects.

Contraindications preventing the procedure include:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• Active skin infections (herpes, acne and others);
