Tear Trough in Gothenburg

Yes, it is perfectly ok to go back to work after the treatment or the day after.

The most common side effect of a filler treatment is a slight and temporary swelling in the area being treated. Bruising may also occur but can be easily concealed with a little make-up.

We treat the tear trough area with a blunt cannula which minimises the risk of complications.

The treated area may be sore for a few days after treatment, and is nothing to worry about.

Less common complications can include infection at the injection site, so good aftercare is important.

No, the swelling after a tear trough treatment is small and often only you notice the swelling.

We prefer you not to put on make-up for a few hours after your treatment.

Yes, hyaluronic acid based fillers can be removed. Then we use hyalase which breaks down most of the filler in 24 hours and your appearance is restored to before treatment.

After treatment, you should not exercise for at least 1 day. We prefer you to sleep on your back for a couple of days to avoid flattening the treated area.

Make-up and creams of any kind should be avoided in the first hours after treatment, to reduce the risk of infection. Direct sunlight, sunbeds and saunas should also be avoided for the first few days after treatment.

In a tear trough treatment, we use Teosyal redensity II, which is specially designed for the area under the eyes. Fillers here have a tendency to swell, which you avoid when using Teosyal.

If you are planning to do any other kind of treatment, such as Botox, lip fillers or similar, you can schedule this 2 weeks after your filler treatment.

As long as the filler is hyaluronic acid based, it is fine to be treated with different brands. It may be good to wait 3 months before treating with a new brand. However, you should not mix permanent fillers with temporary ones.

If you have any form of autoimmune disease, you should consult your doctor before using fillers.

If you have an infection in the area, such as herpes or acne, it may be good to have these healed beforehand.

As there have been no studies on pregnant or breastfeeding women, no safety can be guaranteed during this period. Wait until you are done with it and we can refresh you afterwards instead.

It is best to avoid tobacco for 3 hours after treatment. If you are treating your lips, you should not smoke for 1 day to avoid changing the shape of your lips.

No, you won't. If you stop using fillers, you will return to your original appearance. Fillers have also been shown to increase collagen production in the skin and act as an anti-ageing treatment.
