Tear Troughs Treatment Sydney Australia - Dr George Calfas: GMC Cosmedical Sydney

Do you regularly get asked if you are tired or that you haven't slept enough?
A very common problem that worries many people is the tired or gaunt look caused by shadows, dark lines, creases and hollows under the eyes, and patients often ask us if there is something that can be done to alleviate this problem.

Hollowing and creasing of this region is caused by loss of volume (loss of fullness) which is an age related feature, and as such, its presence gives an aged and tired look to the face. To correct it we must restore fullness and shape here, and this can be done safely and effectively by injecting into the area any one of the natural products that support it, but which we lose from here with time. It is a 'natural replacement therapy'.

This can be achieved by injecting fat, collagen, or hyaluronin, as all are natural to the area. However, of these only hyaluronin fits all the requirements of safety, simplicity, long duration, precision and predictability of results.

By restoring volume and shape under the eyes there is an immediate refreshing and rejuvenating effect to the entire face.

This is a treatment that has been pioneered by Dr Calfas and has been used extensively by him in over 1000 patients over the past 5 years.

Generally, three treatments, one month apart, is required to progressively and accurately correct the deficiency. It is recommended not to try to complete the treatment in a single session as this reduces precision of the final result.

Most find the procedure reasonably comfortable and topical anaesthesia is not usually required, but an anaesthetic cream can be applied beforehand in sensitive patients if requested.

What are the side effects?
Hyaluronin is a natural component of our tissues and it is therefore very safe and well tolerated; allergy to it is exceedingly rare.

Some puffiness and mild bruising of the treated area lasting a few days is possible, and so the treatment should not be performed just before an important event.

You must avoid deep rubbing of the treated area for 2 weeks.

How long will it last?
It is very long lasting! After the initial correcting course of 3 treatments is complete, it is common to require a single, small top-up treatment every 12-18 months. This makes it one of the most cost effective of all treatments.
